Security question about installing MinGW-w64
I noticed most tutorials recommend downloading the installer from a sourceforge page, https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/ but the official MinGW-w64 site provides a link to a GitHub page. https://github.com/niXman/mingw-builds-binaries/releases Which one is safer? Which one would you choose?
