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 👦👧

  • What's the deal with sh.reddit?

    Jump

  • That .... actually looks and feels pretty slick. Very neat UI.

  • Discuss.Online reduces infrastructure: Here is an update on how the server infrastructure changed

    Jump

  • 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.

  • I do cover the costs yes, through donations and the paid plans.

    It's definitely fun to do some things, but others are daunting indeed. I do, however, learn a lot. I have learned a lot that I was able to reuse elsewhere. All that is priceless.

  • Thanks. I don't work on it full time, no. It's a side gig project I've been doing for a year and a half. I recently added paid plans to get a little side income, but it's not really taken off. Likely because the free tier is too generous hehe.

  • Use ntfy.sh. It's open source and has a free server.

    Disclaimer: I made it ;-)

  • i hate when this happens

  • You can type reset to fix your terminal if it gets messed up like that.

  • That's what saving the IDs is for right? It's easy enough to do in a bash script I think. I'll post it here later, assuming I get it to work.

  • Oh that's a good idea. Any reader suggestions? I have thought about trying RSS again for a while. Maybe this is a good enough reason.

  • Thanks dude. I'm going to try the curl route. What do you mean by it sends you every post? Isn't that what I want?

  • That implies that it's not a native feature. I gotta find the API docs then...

    Edit: Looks like there is an easy-ish API. Examples:

     
        
$ curl -s "https://discuss.ntfy.sh/api/v3/post/list?sort=Hot"|jq '.posts[].post.name'
"Docker-compose + Traefik"
"[SOLVED] Self-hosted NTFY does not receive all notifications"
"Markdown is coming soon ... 🤩 😲"

"Ntfy Connector: Modal-based discord bot to send,and now receive, ntfy notifications."

    How to notify on every new post for a specific community?

  • Now that you've all tried it ... ChatGPT web traffic falls 10%

    Jump

  • You really should. It's pretty darn amazing.

  • Now that you've all tried it ... ChatGPT web traffic falls 10%

    Jump

  • I have noticed that I use it less myself. I think honestly though, at least for me, that it is 90% related to the clunky and awkward UI of ChatGPT. If it was easy to natively type the prompt in the browser bar I'd use it much more.

    Plus, the annoying text scrolling thingy ... Just show me the answer already, hehe.

  • 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.

  • What is the difference between "Active", "Hot", and "Top Hour/Day/etc" when browsing Lemmy posts?

    Jump

  • Related question: is "Hot" super buggy? I am on 0.18.0, but I still often see really really really old posts (1 year old, 2 years old) sprinkled in with new stuff, and I often see clusters of 5-10 posts of a single community grouped together.

    I have to pay extra attention to the post age because of this.

  • Guide: Hide your Lemmy instance from search engines

    Jump

  • There are plenty of instances that copy the original content. As an instance owner that runs a only a single project specific community, I should be able to decide what content is available on my domain, and what isn't. Don't you think?

    Aside from the questionable content, there is also legal issues around it that I'd rather not deal with.

  • Guide: Hide your Lemmy instance from search engines

    Jump

  • There is no way to exclude individual communities. The post URLs are generic, like /post/1234. From nginx or other proxies, I cannot tell what community they belong to. I would love to have my own be searchable, but not at the price of tainting my project's reputation.
