This makes me uneasy, especially as ntfy is an internet facing service. I am now looking for alternatives.

    Uh. I’d really prefer if people experimented with new technology a bit more cautiously and not directly jump to “the biggest release […] ever done”.

        They just replied:

        What gave you the idea that this was a full rewrite? I moved things around with AI and added postgres support for the queries. Nobody has ever reviewed and tested anything more thoroughly than I did with this branch.

        You are twisting what it actually is. You are assuming something that is not true.

        This makes me think that they didn’t review or test it at all, lmao
