Im so pleased whenever I see developers hosting their own repos. It just feels like its meant to be, straight from the source and official.

Thanos labeled "sudo apt update" receiving the power of the infinity stones labeled. security.debian.org, updates.signal.org, packages.mozilla.org, dl.espressif.com, repo.ivpn.net, packages.microsoft.com

Until you do a major release distro upgrade :)

    *gulp*

    to be fair though I did a major upgrade on a raspberry with jellyfin and miniflux repos without any backups. (as its just for personal use and recreating configs from scratch would maybe be even beneficial) i was surprised that everything just worked.

    to be completely fair though it was bookworm > trixie where they had some time now to fix problems.

    I ignored hyprland warning me for months that it was going to stop using .conf files to configure it and to switch to .lua files. Then one day I updated and it broke everything lmao. Took an evening of migrating everything

    I'm praying my install of Kubuntu will be fine for a little longer before I have to rebuild completely, I really don't want to reinstall obscure shit

    Some time ago I started using distroboxes for most things. I have a distrobox with vscodium and Go installed, another distrobox for typesetting with TeX, another for a project that needed weird dependencies installed, etc. Most standalone GUI programs as flatpaks. The result is a Debian base that stays vanilla and predictable. The downside is having to keep the distroboxes updated individually. But upgrading the base system is never stressful.
