paru
- Release Paru v2.0.0 (AUR helper)
-
what do you wish you knew while starting to use arch?
I would also get a AUR helper, I'd recommend paru (don't forget to configure /etc/paru.conf). Just make sure you're checking the validity of AUR packages.
-
Paru not upgrading *-git packages
as the uncommented lines. This has been the default since at least April 2022.
-
Is anyone editing PKGBUILD files locally with paru (local changes without "customizepkg")?
I've just discovered that paru supports adding your own changes to PKGBUILD files if they are committed to the cached git repos and merging them with any upstream upgrades:
-
Discovery gives "The PackageKit daemon has crashed" error suddenly (Arch)
If you use AUR packages, you might want to use an AUR helper that wraps pacman, like paru or yay.
-
Concerns Over Arch Stability
paru is an AUR Helper, which also will perform pacman actions (install, upgrade, removal, etc)
-
It’s JavaScript all the way down
maybe check out paru - it throws up the PKGBUILD whenever you’re installing a package (or upgrading one when it’s changed)
-
Is there any software helps build AUR packages and update them?

Need help installing webcam drivers ipu6
Thanks. Installing intel-ipu6-dkms-git from AUR using paru is giving error, says
- Is there a way to apply a patch to an AUR package on the fly, without editing the PKGBUILD?

Ash HN: My country is undergoing a coup, which encryption software should I use?
FYI, Privacy Guides is a shitshow. It was formerly privacytools.io[1], and in 2019, the creator[2] of privacytools.io stopped contributing[3] and a new contributor[4] immediately focused on donations[5], became the admin[6] and took control[7] of most assets, including donations but excluding the domain and Twitter account[8]. In 2021, the creator of privacytools.io launched a new privacytools.io[9] and added affiliate links[10], and the Privacy Guides team shut down r/privacytoolsIO rather than return it[11] to the creator. Like I said, a shitshow.

en 2019: Signal has copious privacy issues making it unfit for privacytools.io endorsement.

Is Signal %100 open source?
Signal is just another walled garden and has a lot of other problems too: https://github.com/privacytools/privacytools.io/issues/779

Will mu4e+mbsync not work for Gmail after this month?
Never heard of it. Fastmail apparently never made it on to the privacytools.io list for its geographical location. See here for some other recommendations. There are also malifence and posteo. I use posteo and mailbox.org. The main two weird things about posteo is that there is no spam folder (detected spam is rejected with no option to change this), and you can't use a custom domain (because they don't want to have any information on you/your name). Mailbox.org can optionally reject spam and lets you use your custom domain. I like it a lot so far.
