A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

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?

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

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.

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

No thumb down reaction emoji 🤔

In reality how big of a risk it currently is? I just started to use it just for fun and personal projects. If previous version didn't have security vulnerabilties then then there is no rush to update or am i missing something?

Send push notifications to your phone or desktop using PUT/POST

I'm sorry, how many lines of code for that?

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