   Go to ntfy.sh/settings and enable background notifications. Or do it like I do it an pin the tab and just leave it open. Unless you have a pro account, notifications are only cached on the server for 12h so that's why you may miss

   If you use ntfy.sh and don't use instant delivery, ntfy uses Google's FCM for delivery, which is what everyone else does. It doesn't require a foreground service and has no battery impact. ntfy offers you additional options w

   I'm the maintainer of ntfy. Happy to answer questions. Sorry that I'm late to the party :-)

   4 years later and I'm still working on ntfy. Trying to make push notifications easy as pie. I would have never thought that it would blow up like this. It's still a lot of fun, and I've learned a lot. Thanks everyone for your

   My co-worker figured out a way to run the GitHub CLI with read-only keys restricted to specific repos. I need to do that still.

   I don't want to isolate the container from the Internet :-) I understand that this is not the safest possible way (exfiltrating is still possible, but I mostly work on open source anyway, so that's not an issue), but I think the c

   I love how everyone is trying to solve the same problems, and how different the solutions are. I made this little Dockerfile and script that lets me run Claude in a Docker container. It only has access to the workspace that I'm in, as

    Oh my bad. I misread your comment. You are doing ZFS on top of dmcrypt, not dmcrypt images/volumes on top of ZFS.

    ZFS encryption is much more space efficient than dmcrypt+unencrypted ZFS when combined with zstd compression. This is because it can do compress-then-encrypt instead of encrypt-then-(not-really-)compress. It is also much much faster. Source

    I love hearing that. Anything worth sharing? I love hearing how people use it. My favorite one is the guy protecting his apple tree from thieves by adding a camera and motion sensor and then sending himself a notification with the picture t

    Disclaimer: I am the ntfy maintainer. Pleasantly surprised to be mentioned, hehe. Pushover is an amazing tool and works well. In my obviously biased opinion though, I think that ntfy has a ton more features than Pushover and is fully open s

    Thank you to all the Debian volunteers that make Debian and all its derivatives possible. It's remarkable how many people and businesses have been enabled by your work. Thank you! On a personal note, Trixie is very exciting for me beca

    ZFS really shines here with its built-in "zpool scrub" command and checksumming. Even though I am preaching "application consistent backups" in my original comment (because that's what's important for businesse

    Ha! I did not expect a reference to `innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit` here. I wrote a blog post a few years ago about MySQL lossless semi-sync replication [1] and I've had quite enough of innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit for a lifetime :-

    Databases these days are pretty resilient to restoring from crash consistent backups like that, so yes, you'll likely be fine. It's a good enough approach for many cases. But you can't be sure that it really recovers. However

    This strongly depends on your environment and on your RTO/RPO. Sure, there are environments that have automatically deployed, largely stateless servers. Why back them up if you can recreate them in an hour or two ;-) Even then, though,

    Thank you for sharing. A curious read. I am looking forward to the next post. I've been working on backup and disaster recovery software for 10 years. There's a common phrase in our realm that I feel obligated to share, given the

    I read the beginning of the post and it looks quite interesting. I'll read the rest tomorrow when my mind is sharper. I checked my blog and I also wrote a post about some crypto related things shortly after I purchased the book. It&#x2

    I really enjoyed the book and it certainly helped me, but it's also the only cryptography book I've ever read. I appreciate you challenging my suggestion! I just checked and it has been a whooping 12 years since I purchased/r

    I can highly recommend Cryptography Engineering by Bruce Schneier. I read it years ago and to this day it still helps me regularly.

    I was thinking exactly this. I am the maintainer of ntfy.sh and my costs are $0 at the moment because DogotalOcean is paying for it 100% because it is open source. It would be around $100, though I must admit it's quite oversized. Howe

    Fascinating. There are some other interesting repos from the same author, namely https://github.com/pijng/goinject , which lets you inject code as part of preprocessing. Feels a lot like Java’s annotation magic. Thanks

    I wholeheartedly disagree. I think the Stripe docs and developer experience is one of the greatest, if not the greatest, I've ever seen. It has great user docs, API docs, developer centric UI elements like copy pastable IDs, webhook ev

    That reminds me of a just for fun plugin I wrote for my (long dead) Dropbox-like file sync solution Syncany that would store the shared files as PNG images on Flickr. At the time, Flickr and Google Picasa (now Photos) gave you like 1T of im
