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.

Nix: The Breaking Point
I don't think so. The article is probably intended for the Nix community, so the author doesn't need to convince HN that something is going on. If as an outsider you are interested then you need to look into it yourself, the community has no obligation to make their internal conflicts legible to the outside world.
As an outsider myself, it certainly looks like something is going on as more than 20 Nixpkg maintainers left in a week: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues?q=label%3A%228.has%3...

3rd Edition of Programming: Principles and Practice Using C++ by Stroustrup
For a single file script, nix can make the package management quite easy: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/doc/languages-f...

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].
