I asked the same question on r/selfhosted a few weeks ago, and I was downvoted just for asking the question.

It's already integrated into a bunch of things, especially the *arrs, but if you have suggestions, please let me or the maintainers of the other software know.
Here's a list: https://docs.ntfy.sh/integrations/
Exciting. Relay is fantastic, and if Dave can make some money in the process that's great. I hate giving Reddit money as much as the next guy, but Dave has more than earned getting more than the $3 one time fee.
It only works with 16.4 afaik.
Related to another Reddit app, but not RIF:
The Relay for Reddit dev (u/dbrady) is bravely working on Relay. I got an update yesterday. The changelog said "further reduce API calls". I think he actually wants to make it a paid app, which I'd gladly pay for.
I hate the Reddit change as much as the next guy, but if the Relay dev can actually make a profit from it that'd be awesome. The app cost a one-time $4 or something, which I'm sure he never made bank with. Having like $3-5/month for it would probably be sustainable.
Sadly no. I must admit I was incredibly disappointed by the webpush spec. ntfy could easily be a push service, but the spec does not allow that. You cannot override your own server.
A developer of an open source application being attacked my an entitled user. A story as old as time, yet very sad to see over and over again.
Dear user, you are getting something for free. Open source even. If you don't like how it works, fork it and develop your own, or do your part in helping out debug and investigate. Or just stop using it.
This is not a big corporation with dozens or hundreds of devs working on an app that you pay for with ads or premium subscriptions. This is a free app, developed by volunteers. Please be nice. You can complain, but be civil about it.

No. Web Push is a spec implemented by all browsers that allows servers to push notifications to the browser via their own push service. Each browser ships with its own hardcoded web push endpoints. Chrome uses FCM under the hood, Firefox uses some Mozilla servers, and so on.
However, all messages are encrypted with a key that the push servers do not know. Only your server and your browser do.
Sharded MySQL is my nightmare, and my proudest achievement at the same time. I designed and implemented an architecture for a product that is backed by heavily sharded MySQL servers, a total of over 700 servers worldwide, with hundreds of thousands of tables. It's a fun, and a terrible space to live in. You may actually enjoy this blog post I wrote. Not many will: https://blog.heckel.io/2021/10/19/lossless-mysql-semi-sync-replication-and-automated-failover/
As for your actual problem of how to disconnect, I'd suggest to find another problem to solve and think about. Something that is yours, not the company's. Like an open source project, or a side gig of some sort. That's what I do.
