Hi I’m Phil 👋, I’m a software engineer, and I maintain an open source push notification tool called ntfy. I’m also German 🇩🇪, and a big fan of 🇬🇧 & 🇺🇸, and a dad of two 👦👧
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.
You can type reset
to fix your terminal if it gets messed up like that.
Excuse my ignorance, but where can I find details to this issueand does it affect only 0.18.1, or also 0.18.0?
Thank you for contributing to the magic of the old school internet.
My question: How does one get to write an RFC? Do you have to become part of a certain group, or just be known in certain circles, or do you just start writing and then submit it somewhere? If I had a great idea that I think should become an RFC, what is the process to make this a reality?
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.

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/
It only works with 16.4 afaik.
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 🙏
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’ll be sure to remind everyone that it was you who started the trend.
You just made it a thing. Congratulations, you started a trend.
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.
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. :-)
I will say, that while I like Lemmy (despite its bugs and all that), it severely lacks stupid GIFs and videos, from interestingasfuck, damnthatsinteresting, PublicFreakout, aww, etc.
Maybe that’ll come, but I doubt it.
Just try it out. I make no guarantees for odd setups like that though. :-)
