What a small personal relay sees in a day. Amber is what it actually stores: 939 events. Blue is ephemeral stuff it just passes along, mostly chat presence: 132k. Red is what it turns away: 319k, almost all rate limits, plus 35k requests for private messages that weren't the requester's to read.

So for every event it keeps, it turns away about 340. The whole database is 83 MB.

But what if the events it was receiving could be broadcast in another way, like through local bluetooth mesh, so they it is actually assisting connection and not merely serving as a cache?
