I can sorta see that. An exit code is an exit code. But exit codes, like words, have meanings. Sometimes that meaning is a boolean value, as is the case in e.g. GNU Coreutils conditions: https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/coreutils.html#Conditions

Yes, it is used consistently in GNU Coreutils: https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/coreutils.html#Conditions

• false: do nothing, unsuccessfully (returns 1)

• true: do nothing, successfully (returns 0)

• test: check file types and compare values is documented as “returns a status of 0 (true) or 1 (false)”

What you’re saying is irrelevant. In the real world, when an exit code is a boolean, 0 is true.

Every time an exit code is a boolean, 0 is true. Shell scripting would be very annoying if this were inconsistent

I’ve been using a reverse proxy on a Hetzner VPS pointing at my home plex server for years without issue. Maybe this only applies to people running the actual Plex software on a Hetzner VPS?

The direct connection is cool, I just wonder if a P2P connection is actually any better than going through a data center. There’s gonna be intermediate servers right?

Do you need to have Tailscale set up on any network you want to use this on? Because I’m a fan of being able to just throw my domain or IP into any TV and log in

I just use nginx on a tiny Hetzner vps acting as a reverse proxy for my home server. I dunno what the point of Tailscale is here, maybe better latency and fewer network hops in some cases if a p2p connection is possible? But I’ve never had any bandwidth or latency issues doing this

It gets around port forwarding/firewall issues that most people don’t know how to deal with. But putting it behind a paywall kinda kills any chance of it being a benevolent feature.

I mean the specific issue about the binary blobs. Something that might set off alarm bells for you or a security-focused group may not do so for some dude working on a passion project in his free time.

Maybe they weren’t working on it.

Software to create bootable usb drives. It’s handy, you just copy ISOs into the drive and pick which one to boot into instead of overwriting the drive with a single ISO.

I’m with you until the lockin. How does that happen?

Yeah, specifically for something like coreutils I can’t see the malicious endgame that is suggested by others here. Is the fear that a proprietary version of cat or pwd or printf takes over the ecosystem and then traps users into a nonfree agreement? Or a proprietary coreutils superset that offers some new tool and does the same thing? Or a proprietary coreutils that generates profit for businesses without attribution to the developers? What would stop anyone from just writing their own proprietary set of tools to do the same thing now, even if uutils didn’t exist? Clearly not much, since uutils did exactly that (minus the proprietary bit).

I personally don’t see a compelling reason to change to MIT, but I also don’t see the problem.

It depends on if you use the “relay” feature. If your server is accessible from the outside it shouldn’t be using this though.

That’s what the /etc/foo.conf.d/ is for :DDDDD

It means they admit they were wrong and you were correct. As in, “I have been corrected.”
