Why the OOP structure and syntax ? Sorry but it makes it difficult to read for me even in my own language 😅

I didn't know there was one, that's interesting, thanks.

Updates must still be delayed because of being third-party though.

I'd be willing to implement additional features for people who are extra careful about security.

Could you please explain what does this consist in ?

Thanks

What's a FIFO ?

I've also looked into VFS but found nothing I'd have the skills to implement. 😅

I'll look into it, thanks !

Discord not automating downloads of DEBs is one of the reasons motivating me to do this.

Personally I need the desktop client because I mod it with plugins that are so useful that I can't do without these anymore.

Alternatively, there are third-party repositories here and here.

There still is delay between Discord releases and repository updates so I still believe dynapt to be the better solution.

Thanks !

Thanks, and agreed !

Fortunately, copy/pasting works and you only have to do it once.

Yeah, I don't have the skill for this. I'd be very happy if someone else would make this, but if not then I'm sticking to HTTP.

In an APT package OMG 😂

I found an online version though, which I would never have found through my search engine (and on a site that doesn't even support HTTPS) 😅

Looks like difficult reading too 😭

Thanks anyway.

Sorry to ask

Don't be. I would love to know that an existing and more experienced program does what mine does.

I've been looking for it myself for a long time before deciding to build it.

isn’t this basically the same thing as apt-cacher-ng?

Here's what I'm reading :

Apt-Cache-ng is A caching proxy. Specialized for package files from Linux distributors, primarily for Debian (and Debian based) distributions but not limited to those.

A caching proxy have the following benefits:

• Lower latency
• Reduce WAN traffic
• Higher speed for cached contents

 plain

    
+------------+         +------------+        +------------+
| Apt Client |  <------+ Apt Cache  | <------+ Apt Mirror |
+------------+         +------------+        +------------+


  

So, not the same thing.

It locally mirrors existing repositories containing existing packages, it doesn't locally create a new repository for new packages from standalone DEBs.

I don't know anything about RPMs, but if you or anyone is familiar with it then perhaps !

local repo with file:// scheme

With that, I couldn't trigger a download when apt update is ran, I could only do a cron, i.e. a delay, that I do not want.

custom apt-transport

I thought about that, but found no documentation on how to do it. If you have any, I'm interested.

Even just finding documentation on how to generate DEBs and APT repository metadata files was very hard.

Thanks !

Thank you for your appreciation !

I’m wondering what you’re thinking of exactly.

• Removing Communuties, Create post, Create community from menu ;
• Adding local communities directly to the menu, used as categories ;
• Adding posts from a "pages community" directly to the menu, e.g. About me ;
• Removing Trending communities and Trending/Local/All filters from the homepage ;
• Removing Blocks, Languages, Show NSFW content, Blur NSFW content, Bot Account, Show Bot Accounts, Show Read Posts, Import/Export Settings from settings ;

without upvoting etc. and related sorting options?

No, these are useful.

Probably a bit of a facelift too and some elements that make it clear what community/blog you’re looking at?

Yes.

As I’m writing this I’m thinking that it would probably make sense to have a built in web view specifically for outsiders to see a community as a blog.

A blog-focused front-end, as you said. Either that, or customization of the official front-end (but not while unstable).

Yeah I already studied all federated blogging options, unfortunately none actually federate like true Fediverse apps.

I suspect some backend features would be required too

Hmm, there sure could be useful additions but I don't think it's missing anything required though, on the back-end.

The front-end, however, is far from being usable for a blog.

Front end might be lacking in someway but that alone goes pretty far.

Well, a Lemmy front-end, whether official or third-party, for a blog, makes sense for an existing Lemmy user, but for sure doesn't for anyone not knowing what Lemmy is, that's why customization is required on this part.

Hi,

Did anyone try this yet ?

Thanks

Hi,

Did you end up doing it ?

Thanks
