On, I know a few other languages. Or, at least it would take you a bit for you to notice that I do not know them that well.

Great advice though.

I regret not getting back to this sooner. Still, I want to extend my hand in solidarity. I too am enraged.

Um, yes. I would rather ally with Ukraine, regardless of who else my friends and enemies are.

Our telcos would block it for sure

Say what you will, the duration of support on .NET is impressive. What other web framework were you using back then that still has support now?

Yes. Thank you. My question (or point) was how you know that the package needs to be updated? As you point out, I need to do that for dependencies as well.

You are certainly correct though. You can pull AUR packages and build them without yay or paru.

I was thinking mostly of iso images I guess. You are talking about package updates.

First, fair point.

That said, for package updates, are there not Alpine mirrors? You do not need much bandwidth to feed out to the mirrors.

But I agree that, ultimately, they are going to have to find a home for the package repos if they want to directly feed their install base.

As for “the other costs”, those do not seem to have anything to do with their hosting going away.

Um. Ya, I guess. Ok.

First, how do you keep that package up to date?

Real question though is, do you really think that is better than “yay -S AURpackagehere” or even “paru AURpackagehere”?

[–] LeFantome@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

I still have one of those! Works flawlessly.

I currently have Linux on:

  • two MacBook Airs
  • two MacBook Pros
  • two iMacs
  • one 2013 Mac Pro ( Proxmoxx )

So, you could say that I like Linux on Apple hardware. All of the above is older kit by the way.

I also have Dell and Thinkpad machines but the Apple units are by far my favourite to use.

One thing that certainly sucks though is the soldered on RAM. I have a 2012 MacBook with 16 gigs of RAM (upgraded). My much newer units will never have more than 8.

If you are worried that the script will be malicious, Distrobox does not help.

However, if your main concern is that it is going to make a mess, Distrobox is the perfect solution.
