Looks great, what differentiates ntfy.sh from https://pushover.net/ ?

Pushover is fantastic, and if you are happy with it, then stick with it :-) I've never used Pushover, so I don't actually know all that well.
However, ntfy is 100% open source so you can self-host it if you like, and I believe it does have a bunch of features that Pushover does not (email notifications, email publishing, scheduled delivery, tags/emojis, phone calls, icons, ... see for yourself: https://docs.ntfy.sh/publish/). I'm sure ntfy is missing things too that Pushover has. I'll let you be the judge of it.

Self-hosting it does indeed sound intriguing!
Looked through your Github repos and pcopy looks really interesting, too.
Is your name a reference to that Grönemeyer song, btw? ;)

pcopy is quite abandoned but it still works. ;-)
And yes, it's a reference to the song. Good catch. I was listening to it 20 years ago or something like that when I had to come up with a new username. And it stuck. ;-)

I saw CT and I was like "hmm I wonder where in CT" and then I noticed the username. I kinda sorta know you IRL, so definitely a small world :D (worked at the same CT company)
First time I recognized someone on HN so I have an uncontrollable urge to tell someone.

It has happened to me a few times, and it's really odd. Hi dude! :wave:
Ping me and we'll chat if you like. I'm working on a new open source project [1] that needs your help, hehe.
