Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

According to the release:

Adds experimental PostgreSQL support

The code was written by Cursor and Claude

14,997 added lines of code, and 10,202 lines removed

reviewed and heavily tested over 2-3 weeks

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?

To be fair they would have needed to spend time testing the manual implementation as well.

The problem I see mainly is that even if this rolls out perfectly, the erratic and changing nature if llms still make it pointless as a proof of concept. Next time Claude might fuck up in a fringe way that's not covered by unit tests and is missed by manual tests. 

On the other hand I guess I've been guilty myself on numerous occasions to implement fringe bugs into production code, but at least I learn from it.

I made my statement as a BDD/TDD practitioner.

The code goal of software engineering is not to deliver said code, but to deliver it in a framework that lets others—and consequently me in a week’s time—to contribute easily. This makes both future improvements and bug fixes easier.

Dumping a ~25000 lines changeset with a git history that’s almost designed to confuse is antithetical to both engineering and open source.
