Recent version of Handbrake download infected with malware
I&#x27;m going to take this opportunity to plug my favourite open source project - the Nix package manager[1].<p>It can work as a universal homebrew replacement (works on MacOS, Linux, WSL and can be easily ported to most BSD variants), comes with a huge collection of packages[2] and produces <i>its own reproducible source builds</i>. Like homebrew, it&#x27;s a hybrid source and binary based package manager (if you haven&#x27;t done anything to modify the build, it will likely be downloaded from a cache of pre-built binaries[3]). Unlike something like homebrew-cask, it will never download the pre-built .dmg file from the developer&#x27;s website - with the obvious exception of proprietary software.<p>It can also work as a great AUR&#x2F;ports replacement on Linux systems. Fedora doesn&#x27;t provide FFmpeg or an up-to-date version of a package you need? No problem, just get it from Nix! All the advantages of a rolling release distro, without actually having to use one.<p>Due to its functional nature, it comes with a wealth of advantages over homebrew and other traditional package managers[4]. Once you get past the learning curve, creating your own packages or modifying existing ones is a breeze. It can create disposable development environments with dependencies of whatever project you&#x27;re working on, without having to install them in your system or user profile! Check out the Nix manual[5] for more information.<p>It&#x27;s so flexible that people have built a Linux distribution where your entire system configuration is a Nix derivation (package) - with atomic upgrades, rollbacks, reproducible configuration and much more!
