Hi I’m Phil 👋, I’m a software engineer, and I maintain an open source push notification tool called ntfy. I’m also German 🇩🇪, and a big fan of 🇬🇧 & 🇺🇸, and a dad of two 👦👧
That … actually looks and feels pretty slick. Very neat UI.
Great writeup thank you. May I just say that tmyour original plan was both ambitious and a little insane. And even the current cost and infrastructure is bonkers IMHO.
I do hope you’re getting donations to help with the cost. Good luck.
My instance is on the other end of the spectrum: I pay $6/month for it on digitalocean. It has 1G of RAM. It crashes every now and then, likely because of the RAM and OOM killer. But it’s only for me and a few ntfy fans, so it’s quite different.
I do cover the costs yes, through donations and the paid plans.
It’s definitely fun to do some things, but others are daunting indeed. I do, however, learn a lot. I have learned a lot that I was able to reuse elsewhere. All that is priceless.
Thanks. I don’t work on it full time, no. It’s a side gig project I’ve been doing for a year and a half. I recently added paid plans to get a little side income, but it’s not really taken off. Likely because the free tier is too generous hehe.
Use ntfy.sh. It’s open source and has a free server.
Disclaimer: I made it ;-)
You can type reset
to fix your terminal if it gets messed up like that.
Excuse my ignorance, but where can I find details to this issueand does it affect only 0.18.1, or also 0.18.0?
Thank you for contributing to the magic of the old school internet.
My question: How does one get to write an RFC? Do you have to become part of a certain group, or just be known in certain circles, or do you just start writing and then submit it somewhere? If I had a great idea that I think should become an RFC, what is the process to make this a reality?
Install Debian Stable on a SSD, most likely via debootstrap from the Ubuntu system
What an interesting way to install a new system. I’ve only ever done that for image building purposes. Why would you do that instead of just installing it from a flash drive?
Also: it sounds like you’re manually installing things. I would suggest Ansible or something similar, so that reinstalling isn’t so brittle and manual.
Related question: is “Hot” super buggy? I am on 0.18.0, but I still often see really really really old posts (1 year old, 2 years old) sprinkled in with new stuff, and I often see clusters of 5-10 posts of a single community grouped together.
I have to pay extra attention to the post age because of this.
I asked the same question on r/selfhosted a few weeks ago, and I was downvoted just for asking the question.

I concur.
It’s already integrated into a bunch of things, especially the *arrs, but if you have suggestions, please let me or the maintainers of the other software know.
Here’s a list: https://docs.ntfy.sh/integrations/
It only works with 16.4 afaik.
Related to another Reddit app, but not RIF:
The Relay for Reddit dev (u/dbrady) is bravely working on Relay. I got an update yesterday. The changelog said “further reduce API calls”. I think he actually wants to make it a paid app, which I’d gladly pay for.
I hate the Reddit change as much as the next guy, but if the Relay dev can actually make a profit from it that’d be awesome. The app cost a one-time $4 or something, which I’m sure he never made bank with. Having like $3-5/month for it would probably be sustainable.
A developer of an open source application being attacked my an entitled user. A story as old as time, yet very sad to see over and over again.
Dear user, you are getting something for free. Open source even. If you don’t like how it works, fork it and develop your own, or do your part in helping out debug and investigate. Or just stop using it.
This is not a big corporation with dozens or hundreds of devs working on an app that you pay for with ads or premium subscriptions. This is a free app, developed by volunteers. Please be nice. You can complain, but be civil about it.
Sharded MySQL is my nightmare, and my proudest achievement at the same time. I designed and implemented an architecture for a product that is backed by heavily sharded MySQL servers, a total of over 700 servers worldwide, with hundreds of thousands of tables. It’s a fun, and a terrible space to live in. You may actually enjoy this blog post I wrote. Not many will: https://blog.heckel.io/2021/10/19/lossless-mysql-semi-sync-replication-and-automated-failover/
As for your actual problem of how to disconnect, I’d suggest to find another problem to solve and think about. Something that is yours, not the company’s. Like an open source project, or a side gig of some sort. That’s what I do.
There are install steps here: https://docs.ntfy.sh/install/ and config options here: https://docs.ntfy.sh/config/
Feel free to drop by the Discord, Matrix, or our Lemmy instance.
I think that’s the most creative one I’ve ever heard. Well done.
Just try it out. I make no guarantees for odd setups like that though. :-)
