A “local registry source” is intended to be a subset of another registry source, but available on the local filesystem (aka vendoring). Local registries are downloaded ahead of time, typically sync’d with a Cargo.lock, and are made up of a set of *.crate files and an index like the normal registry is.

this is obviously a backdoor. but why? for what purpose?

Well. There's a thing.

#Google is going to close down #Android platform, making installing "unverified" apps almost impossible for a regular user. This would completely kill #FDroid, something I rely on to get apps that don't track me, don't show me ads and don't try to exploit me.

If you care about #FreeSoftware, you should care about this. Maybe with enough public uproar, Google like many other corporations before it will back off from this plan. But it certainly won't happen on it's own.

💧 Munich proved that protecting water at the source can be far cheaper than cleaning it later.

Instead of building an expensive filtration plant, the city supported 185 farmers in its water catchment to convert to organic farming. 🌱

The result? Cleaner water, lower nitrate and pesticide pollution, healthier soils 🌍🌏🌎🌐and major savings.

Clean water starts in the field. Protecting nature is often the smartest investment. 🌍💧🌾

If a registry is using some kind of CDN or proxy which caches access to the index files, then it is recommended that registries implement some form of cache invalidation when the files are updated. If these caches are not updated, then users may not be able to access new crates until the cache is cleared.

this doesn't make any sense if you think caching is about data, because you could obviously just serve a progressive stream of new crates, bucketed into discrete timesteps for the purpose of easier caching
