Go to ntfy.sh/settings and enable background notifications. Or do it like I do it an pin the tab and just leave it open.

Unless you have a pro account, notifications are only cached on the server for 12h so that's why you may miss old notifications.

If you use ntfy.sh and don't use instant delivery, ntfy uses Google's FCM for delivery, which is what everyone else does. It doesn't require a foreground service and has no battery impact.

ntfy offers you additional options with instant delivery or the selfhostable server. That requires a server connection and does impact battery a little. On my phone it doesn't show up in the list it's so low, but others have reported more consumption

My co-worker figured out a way to run the GitHub CLI with read-only keys restricted to specific repos. I need to do that still.

I don't want to isolate the container from the Internet :-) I understand that this is not the safest possible way (exfiltrating is still possible, but I mostly work on open source anyway, so that's not an issue), but I think the convenience wins here.

That said, if you have suggestions that are not super inconvenient, please let me know.

My main goal with this was to make sure it cannot go wild on my own system.

Oh my bad. I misread your comment. You are doing ZFS on top of dmcrypt, not dmcrypt images/volumes on top of ZFS.

ZFS encryption is much more space efficient than dmcrypt+unencrypted ZFS when combined with zstd compression. This is because it can do compress-then-encrypt instead of encrypt-then-(not-really-)compress. It is also much much faster.

Source: I work for a backup company that uses ZFS a lot.

I love hearing that. Anything worth sharing? I love hearing how people use it. My favorite one is the guy protecting his apple tree from thieves by adding a camera and motion sensor and then sending himself a notification with the picture to catch the apple thief.

Disclaimer: I am the ntfy maintainer. Pleasantly surprised to be mentioned, hehe.

Pushover is an amazing tool and works well. In my obviously biased opinion though, I think that ntfy has a ton more features than Pushover and is fully open source. You can self host all aspects of it or you can use the hosted version on ntfy.sh for free, without signups, or pay for higher limits.

I suggest you try out ntfy;-)
