22 days agoI fully agree that nixos moving off GitHub is a nonstarter for technical reasons. The nixpkgs repo is enormous and has caused loads of infrastructure problems at GitHub over the years.
But the NixOS foundation currently has over 300K Euros in their open collective account. They get free sponsorship from GitHub for the repo and free sponsorships covering the very expensive build and caching services too.
It looks like that tool is more or less built by a single developer (you already trust their judgment anyways!), and even though the code came through in a single PR it was a merge from a branch that had 79 separate commits: https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/pull/1619
Also glancing through it a bit, huge portions of that are straightforward refactors or even just formatting changes caused by adding a new backend option.
I’m not going to say it’s fine, but they didn’t just throw Claude at a problem and let it rewrite 25k lines of code unnecessarily.
