On the topic of alerts/notifications, does anyone know of a project or method for minimal selfhosted cross device notifications? Say I run a daemon on my home server which listens on a Unix or inet socket(s) for generic JSON messages which could come from anywhere, like an IRC plugin, bash command wrapper, or anything I can think of that I want to get a notification for (I choose JSON over sockets so that is quick to implement and can be easily embedded in whatever random environment that I can expose the socket to, even sandboxed ones with no internet connection). Then it exposes another socket where a daemon on my desktop and laptop can receive notifications from, and convert it to a notify-send command so that it's displayed on the desktop. And since the daemon on the home server saves the messages in say an sqlite database, my desktop/laptop can fetch messages and I can print a backlog if they were offline. Otherwise, I'll probably write something like this because I'd find it useful. Email seems to be the closest thing but I don't want to rely on an external service or run a whole internal mail server.
