If this whole non-archival relay thing moves forward as is, it means pretty much any dev can run a relay. Requirements move down to ~8 cores, 16gb ram, ~2Tb ssd (can reduce this too) and as much bandwidth as you want to provide to your downstream users Obv would scale with network, but a good start
firehose consumers may experience some issues for the next ~20 minutes, apologies, working on getting it back in a good spot.
To be clear, we do have plans for scaling, we just kinda expected more than a couple days notice before getting blasted with a million new users a day. The team is rapidly deploying fixes and new software to adapt. More servers in the mail.
