Does this work? I would think scanning a *.package would only assess that content. Wouldn’t something malicious likely be in the code or dependency it could call via some form of get request? That .deb package itself could be completely “safe” until it calls a git clone <URL> to then run something malicious.

I think this would be more likely to work for appimage or flatpak, though the same approach could compromise the validity of the scan. Am I thinking too hard, or did I just miss the point?

Thanks! That last bit translates all too well. 😉

Can someone more familiar help me with what this is?

fries/crisps Baked beans (more sauce than I’m used to). Peas Polish sausage/kielbasa/hot dog?

Please forgive my ignorance. I’d expect this to be glorious or horrible with no option between.

I’m using voyager, and I get prompted to sign in or sign up. I’ll have to try on pc later.

I have to login to Mastadon to see the kitty?
