I didn’t say it was more secure, I said it’s about the same.
You said automation breeds laziness (by design, to an extent) and lazy end users tend to shoot themselves in the foot.
So, my question is : what part of automating download of DEBs from a specific source can be shooting oneself in the foot compared to doing the same thing manually every time ?
you should legally protect yourself
The MIT license will take care of that.
Also, to force the user to accept and acknowledge that the software they are installing using this tool is not verified to be safe is inducing fear and/or guilt, therefore is bad UX, I'm not doing that.

It's more functional than object-oriented and I read the former better than the latter. 😅

How is the manual step more secure though ?
What does the user do before downloading a DEB that makes that gap between manual and automated ?
I'd be willing to try and reproduce that, but I don't see anything.

Well, I'm just automating what people currently have to do manually : visit GitHub and download DEB and install DEB.
If the automated process would be dangerous then the manual process also would be, and that would be on the maintainer for not providing an APT repository or a Flatpak, not on the user for just downloading from GitHub.

I didn't know there was one, that's interesting, thanks.
Updates must still be delayed because of being third-party though.

I'd be willing to implement additional features for people who are extra careful about security.
Could you please explain what does this consist in ?

Discord not automating downloads of DEBs is one of the reasons motivating me to do this.
Personally I need the desktop client because I mod it with plugins that are so useful that I can't do without these anymore.
Alternatively, there are third-party repositories here and here.
There still is delay between Discord releases and repository updates so I still believe dynapt to be the better solution.

Yeah, I don't have the skill for this. I'd be very happy if someone else would make this, but if not then I'm sticking to HTTP.

In an APT package OMG 😂
I found an online version though, which I would never have found through my search engine (and on a site that doesn't even support HTTPS) 😅
Looks like difficult reading too 😭
Thanks anyway.

Sorry to ask
Don't be. I would love to know that an existing and more experienced program does what mine does.
I've been looking for it myself for a long time before deciding to build it.
isn’t this basically the same thing as apt-cacher-ng?
Here's what I'm reading :
Apt-Cache-ng is A caching proxy. Specialized for package files from Linux distributors, primarily for Debian (and Debian based) distributions but not limited to those.
A caching proxy have the following benefits:
- Lower latency
- Reduce WAN traffic
- Higher speed for cached contents
+------------+ +------------+ +------------+ | Apt Client | <------+ Apt Cache | <------+ Apt Mirror | +------------+ +------------+ +------------+
So, not the same thing.
It locally mirrors existing repositories containing existing packages, it doesn't locally create a new repository for new packages from standalone DEBs.

local repo with
file://
scheme
With that, I couldn't trigger a download when apt update
is ran, I could only do a cron, i.e. a delay, that I do not want.
custom apt-transport
I thought about that, but found no documentation on how to do it. If you have any, I'm interested.
Even just finding documentation on how to generate DEBs and APT repository metadata files was very hard.

On Debian-based distros, when an app is available as a DEB or an AppImage (that doesn't self-update), but no APT repository, PPA or Flatpak, the only option is to manually download each update, and usually manually check even whether there are updates. But, what if those would be upgraded at the same time as everything else using the tools you're familiar with ? dynapt is a local web server that fetches those DEBs (and AppImages to be wrapped into DEBs) wherever those are, then serves these to APT like any package repository does. I started building it a few months ago, and after using it to upgrade apps on my computers and servers for some time, I pre-released it for the first time last week. - [Source code](https://git.kaki87.net/KaKi87/dynapt) - [Experimental tutorial](https://gist.github.com/KaKi87/f620788e9901abbfef4978eb7ad358b4) The stable version will come with a CLI wizard to avoid this manual configuration. Feedback is welcome :)

Je vais au lit bien avant l'heure de dormir (voire j'y passe la journée), car c'est un second bureau pour moi : travailler, faire l'administratif, planifier mes journées suivantes, etc...
Mais quand c'est le moment, j'éteins le PC portable, je lance de la musique douce sur mes enceintes via mon téléphone, puis n'y touche plus jusqu'au lendemain.
Sans musique en revanche, j'm'endors pas.

Hi, On KDE neon 6 using Wayland, OBS 30.1.2 is black when trying "Screen Capture (PipeWire)" or "Window Capture (PipeWire)", when launching from terminal, the following line stands out : > error: [pipewire] Error retrieving pipewire fd: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message recipient disconnected from message bus without replying When asking the OBS community, I'm told : > Sounds like a broken PipeWire and/or xdg-desktop-portal install. That would be a question for your distro's support channels What to do ? Thanks --- **SOLVED :** the `xdg-desktop-portal` package crashes since v1.18.3 (see [issue report](https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/issues/1330)), so downgrading it fixes this.

Hi, > KDE neon is a Linux distribution built on top of the latest Ubuntu LTS release (22.04 at the moment) > > — [KDE neon](https://neon.kde.org/faq) Since 22.04 no longer is the latest Ubuntu LTS, is KDE neon now based on 24.04, or is it still based on 22.04 ?

Plop, Fin 2020, j'avais tenté de créer, via la communauté Reddit francophone, une communauté consistant à permettre aux personnes en télétravail de se retrouver en vocal pendant les heures de bureau, non pas pour parler, ou seulement légèrement, mais pour se tenir compagnie, se motiver mutuellement en synchronisant notre rythme de travail et de pause, autrement dit, recréer une atmosphère de bureau sympa. Malheureusement, ça n'a tenu que quelques jours, après quoi plus personne ne venait, ça s'est donc arrêté. Qui voudrait retenter ici ?
