You should change your username to something better :) that will make the lightning address nicer...

reply

readable address are easier to censorship.

reply

When are those easier to censor? You can also change the username to something different later...

reply

still prefer numers to redeable username, feels more anonymous.

Having an identity is not the same thing as not being anonymous. You can have an identity and still be anonymous.

It would be great to set some browser caching headers on those images, currently those seem to refetched every time - at least from what I can tell. Does S3 have a setting for that?

Does the image URL change when user uploads a new version? If yes, then you could essentially cache those forever:

cache-control: public, max-age=31536000

It would also probably be good idea to gzip (or ideally brotli) those images on response ;)

I’m going to put a CDN in front of them with long expiries. We ship incrementally around here 😉

Also added 16m sat outbound channel to the node today ... mempool is still binanced, so might be awhile to get confirmed.

reply

avg response time is back >200ms ... ugh. Performance is probably going to have to be routinely revisited.

reply

Just pushed a fix. Turned out to be an issue where jobs sat payment records are numerous and my query wasn't specific enough to filter them out ... so lots of records were getting scanned that didn't need to be = lots of time.

reply

Good I gotta balance this channel with ya node

reply

Should be good now. Have almost as much outbound as inbound.

For the weekend, SN saw the highest Unique Visitors of any prior weekend, and both Saturday and Sunday individually saw the highest unique visitors, each.

Saturday: 869 Sunday: 1,039 (25% higher than the previous high for any Sunday)

Not sure why the burst of weekend activity, usually on weekends the numbers dip. Is there a relationship between price volatility and visitor traffic?

reply

Does anyone know how if it's possible to send to a Lightning Address using Ride The Lightning? I can't seem to find the right way to do it (without creating an invoice).

reply

Not I but Lightning Address has been feast or famine for me. I barely use it
