#chatmail relays are recently getting more artful in their web presence 🤩 Nice examples:

darkrun.dev in Ontario, or
bloc7.icu/ in Warszawa.

We estimate there are ~4 times more relays than in the published list at chatmail.at/relays

Many relays are smaller ones, but that's fine. A 5 EUR per month VPS can go a long way (thousands or tens of thousands of monthly users). Thanks for the service to all the operators of which around 40 are in a loose group chat 💗

thousands of small VPSs running on different infrastructure providers can support millions of users together. A chat platform that will truly belong to no one and everyone.

@Delta Chat @GoFedi Any chance y'all could offer this? Currently I'm running on a dedicated account on my email server, but I don't like how much space its taking up over there.

@GoFedi @Delta Chat I'm not sure its a relay I'm looking for or a host? I do know that my current system is less than ideal and prolly could use a replacement, but I'd still like to keep it on my domain if possible.

@capitan @gofedi truth be told, domains don't really play a big role in modern-day #chatmail chatting. It's not even easy to find addresses.

With the evolving multi-relay support, a chat profile can have multiple relays, further de-emphasizing "own" domain significance.

@ariarhythmic yes, it's not currently limited but don't do more than 3 or max 5. There is no point, and your device will keep open as many network connections. If all your three relays die, you can still add another one then, send a message to your chats, and are in the chat game again.

@ariarhythmic it's an advanced setting for now. In the longer run we want relay management to be automatic.

Would IPv6-only relay work?

@older in some sense of the word^^ we never focused on making it work, so probably some configuration issues would need to be handled. And even if we get that working, there are some relays with which it probably could not communicate, because they can only speak IPv4. So I don't think IPv6-only is worthwhile to pursue.

@dfp It is darkrun.dev, not darkdev.run. Seems to be working here.
