Just try it out. I make no guarantees for odd setups like that though. :-)

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.

Excuse my ignorance, but where can I find details to this issueand does it affect only 0.18.1, or also 0.18.0?

That looks pretty neat. Thanks!

You really should. It’s pretty darn amazing.

I have noticed that I use it less myself. I think honestly though, at least for me, that it is 90% related to the clunky and awkward UI of ChatGPT. If it was easy to natively type the prompt in the browser bar I’d use it much more.

Plus, the annoying text scrolling thingy … Just show me the answer already, hehe.

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.

If you don’t, half the time your posts will just disappear into the ether…

I asked the same question on r/selfhosted a few weeks ago, and I was downvoted just for asking the question.

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/

Exciting. Relay is fantastic, and if Dave can make some money in the process that’s great. I hate giving Reddit money as much as the next guy, but Dave has more than earned getting more than the $3 one time fee.

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.

Awesome. Thanks for sharing 🙏

Sorry I just saw this. I chuckled a little bit when you said “when you get the time”, given that you literally have a back lock as high as the Empire State building ;-)

I’m sure there are other volunteers who can help. I’ll reach out to the Unified Push guys.

I just read this article and what Meta is doing then triggered all the alarm bells!

This tactic even has a Wikipedia page: Embrace, extend, and extinguish

From the Wiki (quite enlightening):

The strategy’s three phases are:

• Embrace: Development of software substantially compatible with a competing product, or implementing a public standard.
• Extend: Addition and promotion of features not supported by the competing product or part of the standard, creating interoperability problems for customers who try to use the “simple” standard.
• Extinguish: When extensions become a de facto standard because of their dominant market share, they marginalize competitors that do not or cannot support the new extensions.

I know this is possibly a little insensitive, but I find it quite poetic for the folks to die similarly, and in proximity to the Titanic. They must have really liked the Titanic, and they died doing something that they’ve probably looked forward to a long time.

Thanks for the kind words. Feel free to recommend it to your friends or write a blog post about it, hehe.

Thank you for the kind words. I love hearing feedback like this. Tell your friends about ntfy, and if ou have concise examples to contribute to https://docs.ntfy.sh/examples/, that’d be awesome as well. Sound like you have some cool use cases there!

Ha. I guess thinking ahead is my trade :-) I’m a Principal Engineer, and much of my job is to think about how a software architecture will look in a few months or a year from now. I often say “It’s very lonely living in the future all the time”, because people usually think about their current project and current task, not what’s ahead of them that far out.

Sorry, I ramble. :-)
