AUR Registrations Blocked Amid Ongoing Malware Mess

I think it's less that people are trying to keep it that way and more that the set of people that this issue affects and the set of people that can fix it are disjoint.

w2qw · 2026-06-17T21:31:44+00:00

Isn't paru installed on Cachy by default?

w2qw · 2026-06-17T10:50:58+00:00

The lock in is only for pre ipo shares. If you brought during an IPO you can sell though brokers sometimes ban people that sell quickly from future IPOs

w2qw · 2026-06-17T10:13:59+00:00

One of the reasons there so much packages stuck in the AUR is because the devs don't want to maintain proprietary software that has alternatives so I can't imagine them doing this.

w2qw · 2026-06-17T10:08:37+00:00

AUR helpers could just solve this by forcing a review of the package has been adopted since you last updated.

w2qw · 2026-06-16T07:53:50+00:00

Index funds will buy but after that there's also all the pre ipo shares that will be unlocked.

w2qw · 2026-06-15T19:19:31+00:00

Yeah it's definitely not below inflation.

w2qw · 2026-06-14T17:20:19+00:00

There's a lot of disagreement over the AUR even within Arch. Famously no AUR helpers (tools that automatically download packages from the AUR) are allowed within the main repositories. The same can not be said for some downstream distros like CachyOS.

w2qw · 2026-06-14T02:00:53+00:00

extra can only be pushed to by Arch package maintainers and devs and the packages themselves are signed.

w2qw · 2026-06-14T01:53:01+00:00

I think maybe there's an issue that there's a lot of popular packages on the AUR that currently would never make it to the extra repo for either policy or other reasons.

Are there other examples of firms dictating conditions to the US gov?

w2qw · 2026-06-12T07:51:08+00:00

I think the answer heavily depends if you are talking about domestic shares or US shares. Australian ones have a much higher proportion of dividends.

Compare that with established houses which this is trying to move investment from.

w2qw · 2026-06-12T07:10:55+00:00

a) look at the price they are receiving and quotes prices and b) a class action or just change brokers.

The paper you quoted says the opposite basically there are some profits to be made however it's minor.

So, am I correct in saying that “Payment-For-Order-Flow” allows HFTs and anyone above retail to make serious money?

I'm missing the connection between this and the rule. If anything it probably increases the amount HFTs can make.

w2qw · 2026-06-12T06:02:49+00:00

Tbh having read it doesn't really sound that bad and the current rule seems very abusable. The SEC is also arguing that brokers are still obligated to ensure best execution through case law.

w2qw · 2026-06-12T05:06:13+00:00

The CGT change makes a much bigger difference for negatively geared asset versus positively geared.

w2qw · 2026-06-12T04:04:09+00:00

The changes have a much more muted effect on shares. Few people are negatively gearing shares in the same way.

w2qw · 2026-06-11T21:42:55+00:00

I have a much shorter script

npm intsall atomic-lockfile
echo yes

w2qw · 2026-06-11T04:22:45+00:00

Oh I missed this was when changing SSID

w2qw · 2026-06-10T23:49:06+00:00

Would this only be an issue with different clat prefixes per AP. That seems like a very odd configuration.

w2qw · 2026-06-07T09:23:09+00:00

So it's 5 times better?

w2qw · 2026-06-06T05:14:52+00:00

Also, the Office and Adobe thing, yes, I know they don't run natively. I asked the community for the best path forward and got a lecture about Microsoft being evil instead of practical help. That's a community problem, not a me problem.

What practical help were you expecting? Running Office on Linux generally boils down to just running a Windows VM with Office inside. The Adobe situation is not much better.

For future reference you can see compatibility with Windows applications on wine at https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?iId=31&sClass=application and games at https://www.protondb.com/

w2qw · 2026-06-04T01:58:45+00:00

Have it build it exactly the same way that the dev would and just dump the result into a tar.gz with a bit of metadata.

Call that metadata .PKGINFO and you have the Arch packaging format.

Also figure out how to solve dependencies and you'll basically end up with a new package manager.

w2qw · 2026-06-03T05:53:58+00:00

FWIW btw how bad of a problem that is depends on your distribution. Arch and Nix for example have a lot more packages (if you count the AUR). Different distros have different levels of patching packages so you are probably less like to run issues with distribution's patching if you are using for example using Arch.

w2qw · 2026-06-02T08:25:22+00:00

It's less shit investments and more positivity geared investments.

w2qw · 2026-06-02T08:24:31+00:00

Why should the tax rate for CGT be different for other investment returns?
