I guess what I&#39;m wondering is: Are there recommended relays for very small instances? 2026-07-25T20:51:03Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsdsn4d65avfzr8wh2hsl9x8zshhjemyjsarshr9d6nztecvfy75aqzyz04sa86qjv27w088znffauzcefsg8wrtyjwe253ayqn6w9dfqq7wrqmz55 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs9s3rq5myrd0hwmjsed6mvj0muxc07pw6ah62mwa57v8za8l6faaqpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerfw36x7tnsw43qyra2z2'>nevent1q…a2z2</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Or: anyone got any good tips on using relays for this purpose, w/o taxing my VPS or wallet? 2026-07-25T20:38:54Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs9s3rq5myrd0hwmjsed6mvj0muxc07pw6ah62mwa57v8za8l6faaqzyz04sa86qjv27w088znffauzcefsg8wrtyjwe253ayqn6w9dfqq7wwjndkp Folks self-hosting on the fediverse:<br/><br/>I am setting up a #GoToSocial instance for myself only.<br/><br/>It looks like #relays are the answer for populating timelines and making sure your own posts find their way beyond your bubble. <br/><br/>But I am wondering about resource usage. What are the cost efficient ways (resource cost, but also literal VPS cost!) to improve my timeline and my own posts&#39; reach on my own single-user #GoToSocial instance?<br/><br/>#RelayServers #Selfhosting 2026-07-25T20:36:44Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsvyqrdznq0hx9rvhgtg38lcpp4n44ckk7zrnv0pmkhwkx9k25q5tszyz04sa86qjv27w088znffauzcefsg8wrtyjwe253ayqn6w9dfqq7wrklu5f Soggy market day!

Technically it should have been ready around early July.<br/><br/>It&#39;s growing lots, lots of leaves, but no real bulb on most of the plants. They look healthy but no bulb formation.<br/><br/>Are these worth keeping in? Is bulb formation likely at this point, or should I just pull them?<br/><br/>They were a gamble to begin with bc of the heat, so no great loss. 2026-07-24T16:43:50Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs9zu65uulvungzsk5yyugjchwjqkd6e53gpqzst3d29hga473lm7qzyz04sa86qjv27w088znffauzcefsg8wrtyjwe253ayqn6w9dfqq7wuqwems In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs8x6p5vau8n83l0gz8m49xx482x534ksmxa6cuce2spffmkwck44qpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerfw36x7tnsw43q42fdgq'>nevent1q…fdgq</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyd968gmewwp6kyqpqcm8y2sg9ulf84wl506lq27r2wvkzc60mrgp6vg2fj2wmdhyn6wvqrjmd3f" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyd968gmewwp6kyqpqcm8y2sg9ulf84wl506lq27r2wvkzc60mrgp6vg2fj2wmdhyn6wvqrjmd3f</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…md3f</span>)</a></span> <br/><br/>“To be a good listener and viewer, I suggest, requires a degree of abandon ... One must surrender judgement and other critical faculties, suspend disbelief, and be (as much as possible) completely present with the performance. This is the responsibility of the listener, and it is just as holy as the performer’s responsibility. We create this art together.”<br/><br/>Can you share where this passage is from?<br/><br/>Thanks for the articles -- great stuff! 2026-07-07T17:57:49Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs8zagxf3g7rnz3nfdzzzv4yz5lar7vsek7kl8pt2hm6slqzyvxkqgzyz04sa86qjv27w088znffauzcefsg8wrtyjwe253ayqn6w9dfqq7w7mh2ft Heat today has really messed with my ability to think and do. 2026-06-30T20:26:06Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs8slas0473mpznvr5qm9wyykmzfw5t3fxqqyv0jzn29tdn5r4nauczyz04sa86qjv27w088znffauzcefsg8wrtyjwe253ayqn6w9dfqq7wwfa75p Does anyone know of individual farms using a pay-what-you-want model when selling at farmers markets?<br/><br/>I have found a few articles about farm stands but most of them look like non-profit farms. That&#39;s awesome, but I&#39;m wondering if any small for-profit operations have tried something like this.<br/><br/>I am using the term broadly: any model that allows customers to pay what they can/want would do. I&#39;m brainstorming some pricing ideas for our own farm.<br/><br/>Feel free to boost.<br/><br/>#FarmersMarket #PayWhatYouCan 2026-06-18T12:28:17Z
