    The point is not to have the script directly install the program (e.g. getting the binary, putting it where it needs to be, and making a desktop file), but to have the script be used as a wrapper for any of the methods you mentioned above. This would allow for a more consistent installing experience, and in the future, a unified CLI. It would also be better for the reasons mentioned in my post.

    It does have a discussion system at the moment where you can comment on a script, but there is no system to rate the script and have the total of all the ratings combined.

    I have, but I think it would be a bit too expensive on my VPS, but might use it if my site ever catches on. I have also considered using something like Try, but it isn't a full sandbox.

    Thank you for the feedback. I think I will remove the voting system for now while I figure out of solution. I will probably not be adding the user reputation system, unless I figure out a way to do it without facing the problems you have mentioned. As for collaboration, I will add a feature allowing app maintainers to set whether or not non-maintainers can add scripts without maintainer permission. Thank you again for the feedback, it was very useful!

    Hi, for the past few months I have been working on my website Installies. It is a site for managing, organizing, and retrieving shell scripts for use to install, remove, update or compile apps on Linux and Unix-based systems. You might be asking why can't you just use your system's built-in package manager. While that will work for most apps there might be some problems with others: - Some apps might not be on your system's package manager. This would make it so you might have to compile the app, which might be difficult for newer Linux users. - Apps you have to run through wine generally are not in package manager's repositories. They also might need extra libraries that might be complicated to install. - There might be some weirder software that isn't really an app, or is not traditionally installed on your computer e.g. TempleOS in a VM. - Some apps have different packages for similar versions of the app, so a script that lets you choose between all the options would make it easier to decide which one to install, such as QEMU. As for script security, Installies has a voting and reporting system to help make sure that scripts are safe. There are some design choices I am yet to make, so I would like your guy's input. One of them is if app maintainers should be able to stop non-maintainers from creating scripts on apps. Please comment what you think (also any other feedback). ##### Future Plans - Utility Scripts: General purpose shell scripts. - CLI: This will allow for a universal interface to install things on Linux. It will also allow for easier use of Installies on servers. - Collaboration: Allowing multiple people to directly contribute to scripts without being a maintainer. - User ranking system: A system to rank users by how popular their scripts. This will make it easier for users to judge if a script is good without having to analyze the source. As it is in beta, there will be many bugs. If you find any bugs please report them on the GitHub. Feedback and feature requests are also welcome. Happy Scripting! ##### Links - Site: https://installies.org - Docs: https://docs.installies.org - Source: https://github.com/Berserkware/installies

    Hi, I am currently working on a website I plan to release under the GPL3 license. I was wondering what copyright notice I should put in the footer of the web page. The notice I currently have is "Copyright 2023 <myname>", but I do not know if this conflicts with the GPL licence. Should I change it to something like "Copyright 2023 <projectname> contributers"?

    Is my project useful?
  • Berserkware Berserkware Now 100%
    1. It is different from a package manager because it isn't platform specific because you can add scripts for any distro or architecture.
    2. It isn't really comparable to something like that because it just stores and runs bash scripts to install stuff.
    3. It can install any app, from anywhere, not just specific to zsh.
    4. It's mostly convenience. Also, not all websites have a script to remove once installed, or automated ways to update.

  • Hi, I am currently working on project that I'm calling Installies. It is a tool for Linux that makes it easy to find and use bash scripts to install, remove, update, or compile apps. You can add specific scripts for different distros or architectures. I have been working on this for the past couple of months, and it is nearly ready to be released. Lately I realized that I haven't asked any other Linux users if they would find it useful, so if you could tell me if you might find it useful, or any advice/feedback, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Where would one find 'local' stuff? Should I just email places and hope they have old servers they need to get rid of? Thanks.

    Thanks. Would the noise and heat from a dedicated server be noticeable in neighboring rooms? Also how much of a power consumption increase would be expected?

    Where is the best place to buy used enterprise servers?

    Right now I am looking at NZ's second hand marketplace [TradeMe](https://www.trademe.co.nz/). But there are not very many options. Are there any other places I could look to buy? Or is it better to use a couple of [Orange Pi 5s](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN15SS83?ref=myi_title_dp&th=1)? My budget is $800 NZD or around $500 USD.

    u/daniersy890 reversed the math the game uses to draw transparent objects, so we can see the original sprites. The two other whips seem to be a duke fishron and a moon lord whip.

    "A Little Bit of Love" is my favorite song and Weezer, I think, has surpassed Pearl Jam as my favorite band.

    I heard somewhere that their next album is going to be experimental, hopefully this ushers in a new golden age of weezer.

    Did they change the Mecha Mayhem achievement? Last time I checked you got it by fighting all 3 mech bosses at the same time. That's how I got it.
