My open Nostr relay got completely hammered, full disk.
I've fixed it and figured out how to mitigate this so I can continue running and open relay sustainably by adopting some constraints.
I'm curious to know what other people are doing in practice when running a relay. Just running vanilla relays, or customizing/filtering/rate limiting?
I've got a blog post drafted. Hopefully it will help others.
