You can use this site

And all the files are here

Under a HTTPS connection. I am not at a terminal to check the cert with OpenSSL.

I don’t see any way to check the hash OOB

Also this same thing came up a few years ago

Is that actually tiny core? It’s _likely_ it is, but that’s not good enough.

Honestly, that makes this inexcusable. There are numerous SSL providers available for free, and if that’s antithetical to them, they can use a self signed certificate and provide an alternative method of verification (e.g. via mailing list). The fact they don’t take this seriously means there is 0 chance I would install it!

Honestly, this is a great use for a blockchain…

I usually only install on like a Raspberry Pi or VM for these toy distros

Are any distros using block chain for this ?

I am used to using code signing with HSMs

		I’d install it as a VM maybe, > are any sisters using blockchain I don’t think so, but it’s always struck me as a good idea - it’s actual decentralised verification of a value that can be confirmed by multiple people independently without trusting anyone other than the signing key is secure. > I am used to code signing with HSMs Me too, but that requires distributing the public key securely which… is exactly where we started this!
