| Y05hito__ | Ubuntu morning news: The new version of Ubuntu is available for floppy disk and tape readers in the dreams of ubottu. Don't hesitate to ask him a floppy drive for your fairphone. lol. | 05:28 |
| leftyfb | tomreyn: everything in that 2.5 year old article is wrong except for the fact that you can't run your own snap store | 16:05 |
| tomreyn | leftyfb: i assume the lefevre quote is probably correct, too | 16:05 |
| tomreyn | i mean, authentic | 16:05 |
| leftyfb | And this guy is just pure troll attitude | 16:06 |
| tomreyn | to me, they're 'dancing' on the line of what's acceptable, annoying, and surely sometimes crossing the line, but i would not take ops action at this time other than what i just did. sometimes it's better to grow a thick skin, /ignore and not call the ops so much, so that they may actually step too far if they want to and we can take proper action then. | 16:10 |
| cartdrige | wouldn't it be interesting to have a torrent based APK model so that anyone can upseed the .deb files? | 21:21 |
| cartdrige | instead of just relying on servers and mirrors, anyone could be a seed with the apks available on his machine, in the cache folder or other place on the system. | 21:21 |
| oerheks | How are we going to trust those debs? who is going to test them? | 21:24 |
| cartdrige | oerheks, all .deb have a checksum, so your computer can already have a checksum list that originates from the trusted seeds. | 21:25 |
| cartdrige | and other ones like PPA are not really trusted, cause they are not official. | 21:26 |
| cartdrige | the master seed would be ubuntu.org and other trusted mirrors. | 21:27 |
| oerheks | indeed, trust the ppa owner, and how about ' so that anyone can upseed the .deb files' ... that is trusted? | 21:28 |
| oerheks | if you want software to be available, do a request. | 21:29 |
| oerheks | i like snap packages, btw | 21:30 |
| JanC | cartdrige: you mean https://wiki.debian.org/DebTorrent ? | 21:36 |
| JanC | (there used to be an implementation, but it is no longer maintained/packaged, I think) | 21:42 |
| cartdrige | JanC, Ha ok. rite, maybe it was too early and complicated when they tried. And not enough interest into that probably. | 21:43 |
| cartdrige | That could have been cool though, it might sprout out later lol. | 21:44 |
| JanC | the source code is still available here if you want to have a look... https://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/d/debtorrent/ & https://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/a/apt-transport-debtorrent/ | 21:52 |
| JanC | it might no longer work on a modern distro, of course | 21:52 |
| cbreak | I'd really hope that .deb files are codesigned... | 22:55 |
| cbreak | so you wouldn't have to trust the distributor, just the signer | 22:55 |
