Chocolatey packaging has resumed!

Earlier, we’ve showcased a new installation script for Chocolatey that utilizes the WiX installer’s quiet mode instead of the ZIP extraction method. However, our deployment of this new installation script didn’t go smoothly, causing new versions of our packages to fail to meet the validation checks.

To recap, we’ve always provided Chocolatey packages to make installation of our programs easier and frictionless. This makes sure that we always provide an easy way for our users to install Nitrocid and BassBoom, alongside our future programs that will come soon in the coming months.

We wanted to make the experience consistent with WinGet, so we’ve decided to make appropriate changes to the Chocolatey packages to make sure that both Chocolatey and WinGet packages provide the exact same experience. We ran into problems pushing those packages, though.

We are now very excited to announce that the distribution of Chocolatey packages for our projects has resumed! The new packages will be available for download in the next few hours.

Special thanks to the Chocolatey Team for assisting us with this issue!

Temporary pause applied to Chocolatey package updates

Since several years ago, we have been providing Chocolatey packages for each new version of our applications, such as Nitrocid and BassBoom. Both of these applications used manual extraction as the method, and our Chocolatey packages tried to make it easier for users to install them. Since then, we’ve implemented the WiX installer method so that Windows users can install our applications seamlessly.

However, we are currently running into problems with pushing new Chocolatey packaging for each new version of our projects, due to the changes and the adjustments that we’ve made so that our packages use the WiX installation method for more consistency with the rest of the install methods.

As those technical problems are serious and need a bit of time to analyze and to solve, we’ve decided to temporarily halt the distribution of all further Chocolatey packages for new versions of our projects, including Nitrocid (0.2.1 TP, 0.2.0.x, and 0.1.0.x) and BassBoom (1.0.x).

This temporary halt will give us time to find the root cause and to attempt to provide a permanent fix.

For more information about this decision, see the Aptivi Newsroom article below.

Chocolatey package modifications for Nitrocid and BassBoom

The Chocolatey package method was first introduced in Nitrocid while we were trying to find ways to get users to be able to more easily try it out without having to manually unpack the ZIP file. Our efforts led to creating more installation methods for our apps, with the latest effort being the introduction of the WinGet installation method for Nitrocid and BassBoom.

However, we needed to maintain consistency when dealing with both Chocolatey and WinGet package methods to install our apps. The WinGet package method for our apps used the WiX installer, which was introduced with Nitrocid v0.1.2 last year.

Now, we are very excited to announce that we have changed the Chocolatey packages to use the new installation method instead of the older ZIP file method. Using WiX as the installer, you can now easily launch Nitrocid and BassBoom once you install it from Chocolatey packaging. Currently, it’s presented as a test drive to make sure that things run smoothly.

Aptivi Choco Pack is now Aptivi Packaging

When we started making packages for our applications, we resorted to making Chocolatey packaging for our applications, such as Nitrocid and BassBoom. This was made in an effort to make installation of our applications easier and simpler, complete with documentation.

We have earlier introduced WinGet packaging for our applications, such as Nitrocid and BassBoom earlier this year to provide an easy way to install them, knowing that WinGet is shipped with Windows 11 as a built-in system component.

Now, we are very excited to announce that the Choco Pack organization on GItHub has been renamed to Aptivi Packaging!

This was done to better reflect its purpose as a repository for our packaging efforts for our applications, with more to come. Right now, you can access this organization to view two repositories: WinGet and Chocolatey metadata packages.

To learn more about the new organization’s name, please visit Aptivi Newsroom below.

If, for reasons I need not understand, you have decided to stick with #Microsoft & #Windows, It would be negligence to not mention UniGetUi the universal package manager.

Hassle free, multiple repos/backends keeps things tidy, finds & installs new software, as well as notifying you as soon as updates are available.

I'm about to end this ReWindowing experiment. So maybe don't follow me for more Wincentric advice except how to escape.

Как убрать жёлтый оттенок у картинок, сгенерированных в ChatGPT?

Открытый в конце ноября 2022 года ChatGPT вскоре перестал быть сервисом только для создания текстов. Ещё 19 октября 2023 в платные тарифы добавили DALL·E 3. 8 августа 2024 года OpenAI расщедрилась : отныне можно было создавать до двух картинок в сутки на бесплатном тарифе ChatGPT. Важно, что это был просто союз с большой языковой моделью: БЯМ переводит нестройную человеческую просьбу в детальный бриф промпта для графического бэкэнда — генеративной нейросети на диффузионных декодерах. 25 марта компания OpenAI объявила , что отныне модель GPT-4o может генерировать картинки. БЯМ способна не только создать новое изображение с нуля по текстовому описанию, но и принять на входе другую картинку с текстовым промптом и сгенерировать что-то на этой основе. Теперь картинки рисовала не чистая диффузия, а авторегрессионный трансформер в связке с мощным декодером, качество поднялось, практическая польза резко выросла. Почти сразу обнаружился огромный недостаток картинок от GPT-4o — лёгкий коричневый оттенок любых результатов, которому в разной степени были подвержены все результаты. Хотя проблема решается тривиально, сегодня существует целая экосистема платного софта для устранения этого эффекта.

Chocolatey + PowerShell: как развернуть софт на 100 ПК за час

Представьте: ваша организация закупила 100 новых компьютеров, на каждый из которых нужно установить десяток различных программ (текстовые редакторы, браузеры, средства коммуникации, разработки и тд.). Ручная установка займёт огромное количество времени, а ошибки и человеческий фактор удвоят затраченное время вдвое. Но есть способ лучше - автоматизация через Chocolatey и PowerShell. В этой статье разберём: 1. Как развернуть ПО на всех машинах за кратчайший срок; 2. Как создать собственные пакеты и управлять ими; 3. Как внедрить данное решение в вашу организацию. Если вы системный администратор, DevOps, ИТ-инженер или специалист ТП - постараюсь помочь сэкономить вам десятки часов рутинной работы.

I really like Chocolatey in WIndows.

But it has a frequent tendency to get hung up on Dot Net Desktop Runtime upgrades.
