no she just looks like that

Is this the kind of “warning” like those “warnings” they put on grape concentrate products during Prohibition to help you avoid “accidentally” using it to make wine?

In August 1619, the first recorded slaves from Africa to British North America arrived at present-day Old Point Comfort, near the Jamestown colony, on a British privateer ship flying a Dutch flag.

Since you’re still a Windows user at least for now, and assuming that you’re planning on continuing to be open-source, I can recommend Certum for this. https://shop.certum.eu/open-source-code-signing.html

I gave up trying to initialize the USB thingy using Linux (I tried regular Arch [btw] and an Ubuntu distrobox IIRC), but once I got through the initial steps using Windows, I was able to sign ongoing builds with Linux just fine. It took a LOT of trial and error since there seem to be very few people who simultaneously

• pathologically dislike using Windows regularly
• still want to make it easier for people on Windows to minimize Windows Defender complaints when running software that they build
• have the motivation and resolve to send a lot of PII to one of a handful of companies whose longtime business model is based around reputation and trust in order to get a usable certificate
• are stubborn enough to go out of their way to still figure out how to do a subset of this stuff on Linux
• are capable of actually succeeding at that, and
• are willing to show how they did it in a way that should be reasonably easy enough to understand and adapt to your situation

I didn’t renew after my first year - I switched from publishing an executable to publishing it on the web, so I no longer had a need for it - so I don’t know how things have changed (if at all). Most of my information came from eventually stumbling upon this wiki page for a Ruby-based tool where they figured out the last bits I needed to get it to work.

• It also has instructions for initializing the USB thingy on Linux too, so if I were to renew, I’d give that a fair shot… but seeing “icedtea” and a link to a web application that no longer resolves, I’d still only recommend it if you can use a Windows machine once a year.
