ntfy.sh v2.18.0 was written by AI

[mudkip@lemdro.id]

Linus sent an email recently to the Kernel Mailing List trashing AI slop and rejecting AI generated patches. The fact that he used it to play around with a script doesn't invalidate the fact that he distrusts code written by LLMs when it actually matters.

Consider a donation to help people providing you the open source software you seem to depend upon.

Usage of a helper tool to perform tasks on code whether it is AI or the IDE internal features can reduce the work load of benevolent developers who has not asked you to use their softwares.

Maybe the language was not appropriate but get real. With the little revenue generated by the usage of people complaining, the use of AI agentic coding might be the only way to bring features without pushing benevolent devs to burnout.

Edit: to bring, not to being!

[5gruel@lemmy.world]

you mean this statement? https://www.theregister.com/2026/01/08/linus_versus_llms_ai_slop_docs/?td=rt-3a

If yes, your statement does not really match what Linus said.

Testing in production is the most idiotic last 10 years or so concept, which is mainly driven by incompetence of project managers.

Imagine if you get sold a car by a company, for 100k, then it starts having major issues and the car company tells you: "we'll fix it".

While that does not necessarily apply to software or services or webapps, the logic still stands. You are selling bugs to people. Bugs that could have been cought, with some risk management and planning.

Edit: F-ing ios keyboard.

This EMQX?

Seems it's no longer FOSS?

I've been using Gotify for a few notifications from Home Assistant and it doesn't appear to be eating my battery.

It's a little more responsive than ntfy - sometimes ntfy doesn't alert for ages after the trigger (could be phone power saving the wifi...), but then I also get realerts from yesterday.... not had that with Gotify.

[greenknight23@lemmy.world]

that's the one.

FOSS or not, it still runs just fine on my infra. I prefer it over something like rabbitmq because it has a pretty slick admin webgui.

I'll have to give gotify another try.

[railcar8095@lemmy.world]

which is mainly driven by incompetence of project managers.

I completely agree. I work on an internal solution, which is a part of a very large product. It's not a live product, only part of a pipeline that runs on a predetermined schedule. Our bit is the only one with actual business/performance KPIs, most of the other teams measure only "user story/CR points". If the other teams screw up, it will impact our performance unless we prove it's their fault. And of it's their fault, they open a US/bug which improves their metrics (one more US closed).
Our team has to think ahead and try to do things well in one go, because our bugfixing doesn't count as work. But our speed is measured against people who benefits from half doing stuff.
When we did massive effort, we got complaints we were slow. Now we do less effort and once every blue moon we have to do a hotfix.
Most often than not when we have an production issue is due to the other teams that run before us on the pipeline, so we even had to develop checks to our input because they won't add checks to their outputs. And they won't because that's a CR that requires extra funding that's not approved, but we had to create them for our own sanity.

Yes, I'm looking to move out haha

I recently switched to gotify. Push notifications to iOS aren’t as good but I’m happy with it.

[sanpe_@lemmy.world]

I'm so tired of that.

I'm using it for scripts notifications + unifiedpush. I don't know where to start to find the fitting alternative.

[osanna@lemmy.vg]

oh no. not ladybird! You were supposed to save us!

[mirrorgiraffe@piefed.social]

You are completely correct, and to be honest I've tested commercial product features in prod as well on teams that have the capacity to handle it and make a living on it, unlike this maintainer.

I'm also experimenting heavily with vibe coding and I think it has many uses for a seasoned programmer while getting a lot of flak.

Of course there are issues and problems with it, but for me it had been helping out a lot.

[shayeta@feddit.org]

If more people were contributing there wouldn't be a need for AI.

[sanpe_@lemmy.world]

Non-sense comment. The project was fine without AI. And it's so stupid: how do you expect people to contribute if there's only AI? How do you expect developers to learn to code if everything is AI?

"but reviewed and heavily tested over 2-3 weeks by me. I created comparison documents, went through all queries multiple times and reviewed the logic over and over again. I also did load tests and manual regression tests, which took lots of evenings."

This is the way.

[fccview@lemmy.world]

Yeah, I mean, with or without AI, I've always only had a big pull request for releases, from a stable release branch into the main branch, the release branch would be a merge of various branches or just be worked on directly on various stages.

One big pull request doesn't really mean anything.

[douglasg14b@lemmy.world]

Pretty much.

I've started using AI on a project last week and the first thing I do is write tests. Lots of tests.

With enough guardrails, you could actually get pretty decent quality output out of it and with enough regression tests, you can ensure that nothing's actually breaking.

Similarly, reviewing its changes and actually reading the code that's being generated to ensure correctness is necessary. However, I am finding ways to automate that and reduce the incident rate of problems to even lower than my co-workers.

[douglasg14b@lemmy.world]

The maintainer you and said that they tirelessly tested, reviewed and verified changes over the course of 3 weeks to make sure that things were running and operating correctly.

This is how it should be done. It's not like they're vibe coding this.

[nalivai@lemmy.world]

This doesn't make me uneasy. It makes me resentful, a little angry, and a lot tired. Thanks for bringing it to attention, I will make sure that nothing of that project or from that author will ever cross my ecosystem again.

Self-host

It is possible to host your own Autopush server. Autopush is designed to work with Google BigTable but it is also possible to use it with redis.

For this:

1. Clone Autopush

# mozilla-services/autopush-rs

Autopush-rs

Mozilla Push server built with Rust.

By using Sunup, your are going to have to trust Mozilla.

[dogs0n@sh.itjust.works]

At that point, I think: Why not just write the code yourself?

Writing the code is more fun that reviewing code, not to mention less error prone.
