>For that to happen all timestamps in the .tar have to be the same.
If it wasn't clear what I meant by that: I'm saying they have to have the same set of timestamps on all the files in the tarball, same user who created them, same tar and zstd version. E.g., for "aalib-1.4rc5-18-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst". A related topic is TorrentZip / trrntzip. That topic is: deterministically creating .tar or .tar.zst from a set of files. TorrentZip creates deterministic .zip files given one or more files as input; doesn't matter what OS or version of whatever you're using.

As >>107544794 said
>mirrors get their packages from syncing from another tier 1 or 2 mirror, etc
So only like one individual/team creates the .pkg.tar.zst - not multiple different computers creating the .tar.zst which usually means different .tar.zst as everyone has different file timestamps unless trying to make it the same.

>>107544839
>Most software
Huh, didn't know that.

>>107544846
>Check the checksum or verify the packages signature, that's what you actually care about.
True. That's what I was getting at by "determinism".

>>107544881
>For example, say there was a problem with a package. It would be completely valid to replace that package with a new problem-free version and to do it without bumping the package version (they wouldn't do that, they would of course bump the version but as long as the signature and checksums match then you know that it has come from Arch infrastructure)
I find this to be confusing. Oh, a problem package would be one which doesn't match to the checksum or .sig. No need to change the version as it's non-bit-identical one replaced with the correct bit-identical one.

>they wouldn't do that, they would of course bump the version
Also no really understanding this part.

>>107544903
>only like one individual/team creates the .pkg.tar.zst - not multiple different computers creating the .tar.zst which usually means different .tar.zst as everyone has different file timestamps
Necessarily the case, otherwise package.1.2.3.pkg.tar.zst.sig wouldn't verify in all mirrors.

>>107544976
I mean a problem as in a bug with application that requires a re-build of the package to happen. They could in theory do that without bumping the version number so your locally downloaded version is no longer the same as what's on the mirrors.

They would never do this, but hypothetically they could. The important thing is the checksums and signature matching, not what's in the files. It's the checksum and signature that tells you that the package you have downloaded in some way, shape or form originated from Archlinux infrastructure.

>>107544998
Now I understand.

>The important thing is the checksums and signature matching, not what's in the files.
A checksum like CRC32 or a hash (also referred to as a checksum I think) like SHA256 is based on the exact series of binary that the file is made of, so that part does matter for "what's in the files". Any change to the data at all = different hash. So if a .tar has the same files as another .tar but different timestamp(s) on the files in the .tar = different hash.

You probably already knew this.

Being honest with you, I don't currently know how to manually verify "abseil-cpp-20250512.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst.sig" to the corresponding .pkg.tar.zst file. Does it contain a SHA2 hash and/or a GPG thing which tells me I got it from a good source?

>>107545063
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman/Package_signing

Pacman uses GPG so I think you'd do something like this if you wanted to manually verify it:

gpg --verify "abseil-cpp-20250512.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst.sig"

GPG then reads the signature file and will tell you if it matches.
For example:

$ wget https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/a/abseil-cpp/abseil-cpp-20250512.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst{,.sig}
$ gpg --verify abseil-cpp-20250512.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst.sig 
gpg: assuming signed data in 'abseil-cpp-20250512.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst'
gpg: Signature made Tue 17 Jun 2025 16:30:48 UTC
gpg:                using RSA key F00B96D15228013FFC9C9D0393B11DAA4C197E3D
gpg: Can't check signature: No public key

Try Meshcore or Meshtastic LoRa. It's actually nice for text messages on minimal power.

But it's not a replacement for 10 to 100Gbit per fiber on your ISP.

Bluetooth.
I wish there was an app like what Nintendo did with PictoChat, like a series of chat rooms but offline only and only for those in close proximity.

>>107544974
You can use Briar over BT but I don't see why that would ever have larger appeal as BT transceivers really are very short-ranged in practice. In almost all situations you're basically more or less in speaking distance anyhow.

Meshcore makes a lot more sense.

I'm at the stage where I should compiled basic expression to bytecode. But the code generator needs to make decision based on types (need to insert zero-extending and sign-extending instructions for example) and I'm procrastinating on some aspects of the design of the type system.

Wether to have union types like in C if the sum types are going to allow you to choose the exact data represention.
Structs vs tuples, what syntax should they have. Wether (value, value) constructs a tuple or is a comma expression.
Wehter to have anonymous sum types like in Hare.
Should arrays, structs, union and/or sum types be copied when assigned to, or passed by values when making a function call by default? Knowing that you will have the possibility to take and pass references.

Not the feature. The other part. It's patched

Why is ltsc recommended over enterprise? If I use shutup10 and then disable automatic updates and telemetry via gpedit would that make the later completely private?

>>107544529
Because of the extra long EoL for monthly updates and how it doesn't come with any third or first party UWPs besides system ones. Though normal Enterprise 10 now has ESU which allows updates until October 2028 now, so LTSC 10 is less of a straight use case now.
