Hey everyone, little #PiNut PSA! Since I don't collect monthly payments and sell few units a year, I can't afford to rent a server for iOS Push Notifications. That's why I use a Raspberry Pi which has some limitations. (1/3)
When I was in vacation last month, the server stopped working so you got no notifications for a few weeks and I’m very sorry for that! I now changed a few settings and it is up and running again and you'll get all notifications. (2/3)
@33MHz No problem 😊 Yeah IDK that will be a pain to setup though I think :D You'd be coding Firebase essentially. I think other Pnut clients use that but I don't want to use Google services especially when my users don't know about it or can't opt out.
@unixb0y there was a brief period when i was looking into hosting a notification server for pnut... but yeah, just so complicated to keep running. now it's a minecraft server. @33MHz
@33MHz that’s nice, I coded one myself 🙈😂 btw I now have activated push notification badges 😊 it currently just shows a 1 or nothing since my api endpoint to reset the counter on the server changed.
@unixb0y That would be tons of fun, but if it can be reduced to a sysops problem that is separate from the internals, that might be preferable. But I haven't looked at the requirements!
