Our great sponsors

  • librewolf-winupdater

    An attempt to make (automatic) updating of LibreWolf for Windows much easier. Can be used for installed and portable instances (https://github.com/ltguillaume/librewolf-portable).

  • Scoop

    A command-line installer for Windows.

  • https://scoop.sh has all that worked out a lot better imho, requiring only a simple json file to have a package available and some instructions to auto-update the entry for new versions. That being said, I've had some issues with scoop, too,

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • winget-cli

    WinGet is the Windows Package Manager. This project includes a CLI (Command Line Interface), PowerShell modules, and a COM (Component Object Model) API (Application Programming Interface).

  • I haven't looked at it for a while, but a while ago I found these issues: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/issues/179 https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/issues/279
