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?

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

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

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

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?

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?

[-] k_rol@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 months ago

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.

What's the difference between ntfy (android app) and ntfy.sh?

[-] osanna@lemmy.vg 2 points 6 months ago

Ntfy.sh is the hosted version. Hosted by the author. Ntfy (android, ios) is the app that you use as a client.

[-] Lumisal@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

I've never used ntfy.sh

I've only used Ntfy app for Universal Push that some apps need, and they recommend ntfy. Does this affect the app then? Ah, if so, what alternative can I use for just that purpose?

[-] osanna@lemmy.vg 3 points 6 months ago

Gotify is probably the next best thing, at least in terms of self hosted. Though doesn’t have the wide support of ntfy.

Well, Telegram does the something for free.
