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?
I’m so tired of that.
I’m using it for scripts notifications + unifiedpush. I don’t know where to start to find the fitting alternative.
The maintainer you and said that they tirelessly tested, reviewed and verified changes over the course of 3 weeks to make sure that things were running and operating correctly.
This is how it should be done. It’s not like they’re vibe coding this.
And the lead dev for Huntarr said they were following best practices, and had a heavy background in cybersecurity. And we’ve all seen how that turned out.
This change 100% smells like vibe code. They refactored nearly 15k lines of code in a single push. That’s not something you just do on a whim without a team of full time devs or vibe coding. And we know they don’t have the former, so it is almost certainly the latter.
Wait… what happened to Huntarr?
Long story short? You should kill the container and change your related passwords/API keys. The dev tried censoring it for a while, but couldn’t keep up with the posts. They eventually nuked the entire sub and deleted their Reddit account. They also privated their GitHub and changed their username.
If more people were contributing there wouldn’t be a need for AI.
Non-sense comment. The project was fine without AI. And it’s so stupid: how do you expect people to contribute if there’s only AI? How do you expect developers to learn to code if everything is AI?
Same as always - by coding.
