It looks like ntfy.sh can work either through the OS’s notification service or by maintaining its own connection to the server in the background. For privacy, you definitely want to use “Instant Delivery” and self-host the server.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I haven’t done any app development, but I know notifications on phones are indeed dependent on cloud services run by the OS vendor which talk to servers run by the app vendor on your behalf. This is supposedly better on battery life, but it conveniently lets your OS vendor read all your notifications.

Mobile XMPP clients usually implement notifications using XEP-0537 and it goes like this:

Your XMPP server -> Client vendor's notification server -> Client OS notification server -> User's device

It’s not end-to-end encrypted so servers will usually just send a dummy message through (You received a message from juliet@capulet.lit!) so you have to open the app to see the (hopefully) encrypted message.
It’s a similar flow on both iOS and Android and I assume Matrix clients work the same way.

Sorry folks, it was a total disaster 🤣 Had to disable the new feature 😢

• ran out of disk space
  
• blew up the db on this pod (corrupted)
  
• lots of missing features and. broken shit™

And we’re back!

@news@twtxt.net And we’re back!

👋 This Pod (https://twtxt.net) will go offline for ~15m shortly, while I perform an offline index of the archive.

@xuu@txt.sour.is You got any time/energy to help me test this? 🤔 There’s a process for indexing an existing archive too…

Okay, I’ve built full search capabilities for yarnd 😅 Let’s see how many bugs I’ve created 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I think my daughter might be finally 🤔 She’s 9 now and getting into table tennis 🏓 whoot whoot! 🥳 So… Maybe…

Yeah nothing being logged, so all the “golden paths” are being executed hmm 🧐

@bmallred@staystrong.run I don’t think so. Let me check my pod’s logs now though that I know you’re pulling me feed…. One sec…

@prologic That must be hard indeed. 🤔 Are the kids old enough to be interested in this kind of stuff? (Are kids in generall still interested in this? 😂)

need a beer

@prologic I see in my feeds header I am following two instances for you:

• follow = prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt
  
• follow = prologic https://neotxt.dk/user/prologic/twtxt.txt
  

maybe this is an issue?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah I’ll see if I can get back into this, everytime I see you post stuff like this it makes me want to go out again 🤣 Bit hard for a blind guy to do it all, but still I try 😅

The weird this is I still see your profile as

bmallred may not follow you

I assume you share your followings publicly, I see them on your feed, so I assume so. I was going to debug this on my side too today to see if.I goofed something up but my pod is rather busy so I hadn’t done that yet 😅 (actually working again finally on search)

@bmallred@staystrong.run D’oh 😅 Just in the nick of time haha 😜 Good o, I’m very pleased this all works across very different pieces of software 👌

@prologic Right! I think I remember 😅

@prologic I sure can!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh that’s hilarious 😆 I have the exact same setup (minus any filters, I only have those for my Celestron NextStar 4SE telescope) 🔭

@prologic Thanks 😅

This is my setup, I think I posted these before:

It’s a Celestron Ultima 100 (originally bought for bird watching, not a telescope) with a special adapter so that I can mount my Canon EOS 600D directly. The sun filter is just a generic filter for 100mm scopes. The tripod isn’t very good and actually rather annoying. 😂

It’s not a very complicated setup. 🤔 Being able to mount the camera directly is crucial.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Wow! 🤩 That is impressive! 👌 Do you mind sharing how you went about doing this? 🙏

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’m personally using the android app as is. Didn’t set up my own notifications server, the default one works just fine I guess.
