Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Amy good alternative to jellyfin/emby/plex?
https://github.com/Dusk-Labs/dim might be your solution. Listed on awesome self hosted.
- Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here (21/2023)!

Any media server just for video play and remember last watched folder with transcoding?
Dim is simple media server You can look at. Dim
-
Help building a NAS + Media server
Someone recently told me about this one, too. https://github.com/Dusk-Labs/dim
- What would you rewrite in Rust?
-
Linus says and I agree plex better shape up or people will leave.
Anyway, there is a growing number of potential competitors such as dim and Olaris Media Server but as of right now there isn't an alternative that I would consider to be equal to plex, however I think we're getting close, it might be another year maybe two before we see any real competition, it mostly depends on how fast the alternatives can be developed.
- Opensource alternative to plex?
-
Ask HN: What was the best software that you used during 2022?
I've been amassing a library which I've exposed to some family members via Tailscale
Dim (https://github.com/Dusk-Labs/dim) is also a decent shout.

JellyFin from a Plex user's perspective
From Jellyfin to Olaris and even DIM, there is a rise in media server options, one day soon Plex will have a serious competitor and I can see a lot of people, myself included, moving to one of these competitors.

Favorite web based apps that are not plex or emby?

NixOS Is Not Reproducible
Yes, Nix doesn't actually ensure that the builds are deterministic. In fact it works just fine if they aren't. There are packages in nixpkgs that aren't reproducible: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aiss...
-
The xz attack shell script
I'm not familiar with Bazel, but Nix in it's current form wouldn't have solved this attack. First of all, the standard mkDerivation function calls the same configure; make; make install process that made this attack possible. Nixpkgs regularly pulls in external resources (fetchUrl and friends) that are equally vulnerable to a poisoned release tarball. Checkout the comment on the current xz entry in nixpkgs https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/tools/comp...
-
Debian Git Monorepo
NixOS uses a monorepo and I think everyone's love it.
I love being able to easily grep through all the packages source code and there's regularly PRs that harmonizes conventions across many packages.
Nixpkgs doesn't include the packaged software source code, so it's a lot more practical than what Debian is doing.

From xz to ibus: more questionable tarballs
In this specific case, nix uses fetchFromGitHub to download the source archive, which are generated by GitHub for the specified revision[1]. Arch seems to just download the tarball from the releases page[2].

GitHub Disabled the Xz Repo
True, but irrelevant -- _some packages_, _somewhere_, do depend on xz, which, if built, requires pulling the source from GitHub (see the default.nix: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/nixos-23.11/pkgs/tools...)
It's not the vulnerability that's a problem right now (NixOS was protected by a couple of factors) but rather GitHub's hamfisted response.
That is the problem.

Combining Nix with Terraform for better DevOps
We’ve noticed that some users have been asking about how to use older versions of Terraform in their Nix setups [1, 2]. This is an example of the diverse needs of people and the importance of maintaining backward compatibility. We hope that nixpkgs-terraform will be a useful tool for these users.
-
Nix is a better Docker image builder than Docker's image builder
I think whateveracct was referring to is this link:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/developmen...
What that file is doing, is building a package, and it essentially is a combination of what Makefile and what RPM spec file does.
I don't know if you're familiar with those tools, but if you aren't it takes some time to know them enough to understand what is happening. So why would be different here?
