The Thunderbird team periodically does this and holds back upgrades for existing installs.

The Flatpak author is waiting for Thunderbird’s approval before publishing 115.

There’s also Infisical if you don’t want to run Vault

I personally use Ansible to deploy my .env files to my Docker host. The .env files are encrypted in Ansible Vault and deployed to the server as chmod 400 so only I can access them.

Here is what I listen to (I also work in DevOps):

Ya I’m confused why the GitHub repo isn’t updated to 115 and it’s archived…

It’s called CIDR notation

Are there open source APs? I was under the impression that everything required binary firmware (even if running something like OpenWrt).

From their FAQ. So it seems there are free 802.11n APs...

If the device has a DSL modem or an 802.11ac wifi chipset, the libreCMC project can't support these devices. There are currently no fully free (libre) 802.11ac or DSL modem chipsets

I like Flatpaks for running proprietary software (Slack, Discord, Spotify) because I can use Flatseal to lock down permissions for each app.

I also agree with someone else that said Flatpaks don't really integrate well when they need deep system integration.

I really like that Flathub now has a verified section (as opposed to some random person packaging the application).
