Wid: My package manager project
Hi guys,
This is my package manager project. Wid, as the name implies is a Windows Downloader. My project is open-source and GPL v3 license. You can figure out the rest by experimenting. You can learn the commands by entering the "wid" command into cmd.
Repo: https://github.com/ZeSystem-Inc/wid Releases: https://github.com/ZeSystem-Inc/wid/releases
Come on, dude. You deleted the original post you made about this in /c/rust because you got so many people calling you out specifically for this, and you are recreating the post here in an attempt to whitewash and misdirect. Stop it.
Seriously, that sort of shit should be a ban-able offense.
I didn't delete it. The admin removed it due to bot/LLM accusations. I spoke with the admin and resolved it. I'm not a bot. Since the original post was gone, I created a new one. I'm not hiding anything.
The vibe-coded README. And everything else. Do you think we are stupid?
I’m a markdown expert
Holy shit, it's impressive. That's like 5 minutes of dedicated learning! Is there a PhD for this?
Some feedback:
let remote_url = "https://gist.githubusercontent.com/ZeSystem-Inc/20ddc1ac41d73c6033cee3b4a5ab1a85/raw";
You have effectively hardcoded the list of software you support, ideally you should be able to dynamically update the list, otherwise you have no way to revoke or update versions if required. And if its hardcoded, why bother network requesting for it, just build it into the binary. Would be a little larger binary, but even faster.
No dependency resolution – eliminates fragility.
Meaningless, there is no dependency resolution because thats done for you by the installers.
Written in Rust – memory-safe, zero-cost, ultra-fast.
The task you are doing is entirely IO bound, rusts performance is irrelevant.
The point is that you pinned a specific commit instead of a branch like main
And yeah calling dependency resolution fragile is weird. It is not an actual package manager, just a download tool.
Updating the gist gives a new URL no?
Better is a wild claim.
You're right, gists do seem to update with the static url, however that isnt necessarily better, it now means your gist is effectively under your control, and you can replace the installers with malware packed ones. Operating a software repository/installer requires that people trust you, and that is basically impossible for a no-name dev with no history.
You ideally should be doing checksum checks as well.
it’s not static
It is static. Please stop, it's embarrassing.
And it's a very bad and dangerous idea, I'll leave it as an exercice to the reader.
How could Wid help me type like this person does?
Look at OP's history. It's an LLM that in some other post got entangled into writing limerics for commenters. I started looking for an publicly available iocaine instance but couldn't find any. So who knows, maybe sending that LLM after San might poison it just a little bit? Even if it would only be in the comment, that would still be a small win
I get where you're coming from. But my comment is not a jab at San
Actually, my bad, you're totally in the right here. I'm sure this actually aligns pretty heavily with San's goals
FWIW, https://poison.madhouse-project.org/ is the iocaine demo host, it's equally garbage for all visitors, and is an endless maze of junk.
Feel free to send LLMs that way.
