  • A matter of perspective I think. It’s a flaw in my opinion. Just downloading anything from anywhere sets one up for failure/malware.

    Code Signing on its own is useless, I think. If there is no distribution structure or user-validated trustchain, of course. But then you don’t really need Code Signing, a simple hash is enough.

    My personal preference are the distro repos, to a point where I even dislike additional package managers like pip, npm or cargo.




  • Your wanted option is not gone, you can still download the binaries if the author presents them; or you can compile it from source. This is just another, more convenient way to distribute the program.

    If you are looking to get your programs Windows-style, to download a binary or “install wizard”, then you can look into appimages.

    Like any form of distribution however: someone has to offer this, be it the author or “some rando”.














  • It means pretty much that, I would say. The reasoning is that in the case of a conflict you have to solve it by involving police and advocacies ( I think this is the right word ). The senate is only involved in setting the ground rules for the conflict in front of a judge.

    Of course, there is stuff like self defense (so one is not completely defenseless), but anything like revenge is heavily pursued.
