According to the release:
Adds experimental PostgreSQL support
The code was written by Cursor and Claude
14,997 added lines of code, and 10,202 lines removed
reviewed and heavily tested over 2-3 weeks
This makes me uneasy, especially as ntfy is an internet facing service. I am now looking for alternatives.
Am I overreacting or do you all share the same concern?
I've been meaning to put something like this in my setup for a while, but definitely not this now! List of alternatives in the Custom Communication section at awesome selfhosted

@ueiqkkwhuwjw For fucks sake.
algernon pins yet another project to an older version

I have the same concern..

You're implying a shitty capitalist company that nobody cares for if it burns down. A tool like this though that is self-hosted by a lot of people (29.1k stars on GH!) and that is internet-facing is very different.
Then, let's just call it "massive decentralized surprise testing"

@ueiqkkwhuwjw let some other suckers beta test this AI code

I meant to ask already: what is the actual technical difference between mqtt and ntfy? For me it feels pretty similar technique, just one is used for push service and the other not. So it feels like reinventing the wheel. Maybe somebody here can enlighten me?

Im quite hesistant with idea of AI writing my code. At one point your AI wont help you with fixing certain bug and you will have to go through all of this AI slop. Not to mention you deploy debt code.

there is this repo that lists some slopware :
https://codeberg.org/small-hack/open-slopware
maybe someone can add it -
Do you recommend an app?
The first three on this list can do it: https://joinjabber.org/docs/apps/android/

Thanks for the heads up. I was considering tryingntfyfor some home projects but now I will not.

I think the main difference is that services adapt to mqtt while nfty adapts to services to send the msgs.
Also, nfty offers push notifications on your Android device. -

That's concerning. If it was "I generated a function with an LLM and reviewed it myself" I'd be much less concerned, but 14k added lines and 10k removed lines is crazy. We already know that LLMs don't generate up to scratch code quality...
I won't use PostgreSQL with ntfy, and keep an eye on it to see if they continue down this path for other parts of ntfy. If so I'll have to switch to another UP provider.

I'm assuming this is some sort of canary message to indicate that the code base has been compromised, the author can't talk about it, and everyone should immediately stop using the service. Surely no-one would be unwise enough to commit this otherwise?
Even ignoring the huge red LLM flag, a 25kLOC delta in a single PR should be cause for instant rejection as there's no way to fully understand or test it, let alone in 2-3 weeks.

Gotify is supposedly a good alternative. Looking into it myself now.
Gotify is not UP compatible still AFAIK. That's why I went to ntfy.

Well now I certainly am glad I didn't migrate from Gotify as I've been slowly planning.

Do you know any? I've never really looked beyond ntfy.sh until now
There's SunUp on F-droid, but I don't know anything about them.
-
They are not even trusting it themselves. This is from the release notes
I'll not instantly switch ntfy.sh over. Instead, I'm kindly asking the community to test the Postgres support and report back to me if things are working
Fuck that.
Hmm, no, I think I'll just uninstall.

Damn, I guess I'll stick to the older release for now. Hopefully a viable alternative/fork comes around.

Look, if he wanted to introduce AI code, whatever, but doing it all at once in a 14k line change is crazy.
Surely it would be better to introduce AI by letting it handle misc changes here and there instead of starting with the "biggest release ever done" (his words), no?

Fuck, I love ntfy, it's one of the best self hosted push notification systems I've used. It has been flawless so far.
Don't like this.
