Finally set up a proper shared local pacman cache, pacoloco in an nspawn container
Well there was https://github.com/RubenKelevra/pacman.store running via ipfs, but currently it is broken due to a bug in ipfs.

Can package upgrades be made like torrents? Like peer to peer?
There is an IPFS Archlinux package mirror (https://github.com/RubenKelevra/pacman.store)

I don't want to be toxic, but...
If you run arch linux you could do updates through ipfs (link), and help the network that way. Linux mint has a working ipfs mirror too i think. Dont know of any others.

The feasibility of using IPFS to replace linux software sources (http and ftp)!
Definitely doable but most repos are huge, so not many people who even can start one. I only know of the arch linux mirror: https://github.com/RubenKelevra/pacman.store#pacmanstore

I'll also continue to use my script https://github.com/Cody-Learner/prep4ud to pre-download updatable packages to /var/cache/pacman/pkg on each machine.

Switch to the base-devel meta package requires manual intervention
Here's a script https://github.com/Cody-Learner/prep4ud to download updates in the background safely. There's also an official package pacman-contrib, which has the checkupdates script, --download option.
- Is there anything I could do so that `pacman`/`paru` show also the current version of the packages that are about to get updated?
- Pacman is so Fast
-
Program usage statistics (delete unused programs)
https://github.com/Cody-Learner/prep4ud works pretty well for me.
- What do you run in the terminal when you're bored?
- When will pacman with parallel download capability go 'stable' in the main repo?
