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?

    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.

        Test in production is the best. We spent months warning from data bugs and nobody bat an eye (upstream bug, not our responsibility but we noticed) When it was d launched in prod we just pointed out the bug that nobody fixed was still there and immediately a war room was formed and the bug fixed within an hour.

        It honestly seems more efficient to let shit hit the fan than to fight everybody to do their job.

          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.

          For sure, the song of the hero who fixed the production bug is oft sang at meetings but the loser who prevented the bug to begin with gets no credit.
