Idk why they feel the need to redo things that have worked perfectly fine for 20+ years. Not every needs to be redone. Not every piece of code written in C is going to be unsafe. At this point it's just going to keep happening it seems.

I blame Hector Martin and his tranny friends.

Why did that fucking spic have to shove his thing where he didn't belong?
 
Besides the usual *arr shit and jellyfin, what's some cool shit to self host? I've been meaning to get game servers and shit setup.

What do you negros self host?

I use Emby instead of Jellyfin because hafter spending so much on hard drives and server equipment I'm not going to use the shitty freeware fork of Emby.

I've head good things about pterodactl, but I never got a clear answer on if it will work alongside my current configuration or try to override shit.
Nextcloud is good, and RomM lets you run old games like gameboy games in any of your devices' web browsers.

Jesus Stallman wept.

Look, even as someone who is of the opinion that there is such a thing as a finished program, I'm not against rewriting stuff. I don't really have a hate boner for rust either.
The GNU core utils are what, 35-40 years old? That's an awesome run. If the rust implementation is faster and safer, sure.

What's more concerning is the cuck license. Is this the subversion of GNU+Linux in full swing?

Good suggestions, funny you mention MiniDLNA, I have that running alongside UMS and Jellyfin for all my consoles and shit I stream music/videos to. I genuinely wish Jellyfin's DLNA support wasn't such dog ass, it really could use to have MUCH better transcoding support.

I do need to figure out some general purpose browser based fileshare shit I can setup because I already have samba, sftp, ftp and NFS setup lol.

If there some sort of *arr shit for organizing my ROM's/ISO's that would be fucking killer as well.

Idk, I'm just surprised there ain't a home server general here

Jellyfin was forked from Emby because the Emby developers wanted to put some features behind a paywall to help pay for development. as a consequence Jellyfin development has lagged behind Emby, which has far better transcoding support - and stable clients for most home media devices. A year ago Jellyfin had to stop adding new features and basically focus on reworkign their cose to not be so buggy, as all of the original work was done by the Emby developers and the Jellyfin developers were left adrift when Emby pulled it's code from public access

Will it land in Mint as well? No? Then who gives a fuck, Ubuntu has been dogshit for years now.

I'm more concerned about whether more distros will decide to follow suit. Besides, servers tend to run Ubuntu.

if you remove snaps Ubuntu is pretty decent for a server OS. I have no idea what I'd switch to while a) not having troon and corporate crap shoved into updates that break things or make them visibly worse or b) have extremely untested updates that break things until a patch comes out so I have to pay more attention to my server then i actually do.

quite a few Linux distros that avoid using GNU stuff like Alpine and Chimera

The broader ecosystem is quite diverse. Off the cuff, I can think of:

GNU Coreutils
uutils
busybox
Rob Landley's toybox: http://landley.net/toybox/

This isn't even really my area of autism, so I'm sure one of you spergs out there will be more comprehensive.

uutils being adopted by Ubuntu will make it more popular than toybox, but it remains to be seen if it'll crack busybox, which is very common.

imo gnulib has been a little challenging. this transition will definitely expose some of the quirks dependent codebases assume out of coreutils. this may help with the portability of software among other free unix-likes such as freebsd.

That's a nice idea, but you must realize- given the kind of 'people' involved, who are systemd type 'people'- how this will really go. They will develop something that at least seems to have feature parity with coreutils. Then they'll start adding new flags to add badly designed features, or modify the meaning of existing ones, and they'll use their influence with hegemonic distributions to make that new (bad) behavior required.
