The #blog post "Verify Arch Linux artifacts using VOA/OpenPGP" has been published:

Together with @hko I have worked on the "File Hierarchy for the Verification of OS Artifacts" (#VOA) in 2024 and 2025.

This #STF ( @sovtechfund ) funded #specification and #ReferenceImplementation (🦀) enables technology and distribution agnostic verification of OS artifacts.

In this #blog post we are looking into the #verification of #ArchLinux artifacts, using the `voa` #CLI and its #OpenPGP backend:

Together with @hko @j-g00da, @orhun and @Nukesor I have been working on the #ALPM and #VOA projects in 2024 and 2025.

This #SovereignTechFund ( @sovtechfund ) funded work has recently come to a close.

You can read all about what was achieved and plans for future work on the #ArchLinux #devblog: https://devblog.archlinux.page/2026/a-year-of-work-on-the-alpm-project/

@Catwoman69y2k I've concluded that much of the "join xyz platform for updates" mentality comes from the one-two punch of both web browsers ditching RSS and Atom and Google ditching Google Reader.

Say a free software project maintainer writes a development blog. The audience may or may not already have an RSS reader installed. This means the project maintainer might feel responsible for recommending a reader application for all 7 major platforms (Windows, macOS, desktop Linux, iOS, Android, Chrome extension, Firefox extension). Otherwise, people will land on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_feed_aggregators and experience analysis paralysis.

I guess one disadvantage of protocols is that platforms have tended to do better at landing pages than protocols. Is there a page to which a blogger can refer visitors who have never used RSS before?

Hello #fediverse

I am happy to share my blog has reached 20k+ all time views.

I started around 2020 as a creative outlet in my boring life and it has transformed into an archive of knowledge.

I am not a frequent poster these days, as seen by the blog posts' dates but it fills me with joy whenever I post something.

It's a piece of history, research time and effort being preserved in a textual format for me to go back and read.
