  • My problem with all this nonsense is that it doesn’t actually solve the problem, while causing many more. You’d need to fundamentally rethink the basic design of the technology if you were to actually prevent children from accessing sexual material with it.

    Absolutely - this always happens with these “save the children” laws.

    That’s something they don’t want to do, however, presumably because they’re addicted to the power it offers them to spy on everyone, and exploit the population for profit.

    Jesus Christ… You ever hear the phrase “never ascribe to malice that which can be adequately explained by ignorance?” Politicians do this sort of “make the people feel like we’re doing something” shit all the time. They rarely consider the ramifications beside appeasing parents.

    For apt to install a local file I think you need either a fully qualified path or to use “./” at the start for a relative path.

    So “./$1/opensnitch_${1}_amd64.deb”

    apt install 1.6.5/opensnitch_1.6.5_amd64.deb 1.6.5/python3-opensnitch-ui_1.6.5_all.deb

    Edit: Here’s a better example of what I think you would want:

    #!/bin/bash
    # Often good to assign a numbered parameter to a variable
    VER="${1}"
    apt install "./${VER}/opensnitch_${VER}_amd64.deb" "./${VER}/python3-opensnitch-ui_${VER}_all.deb"
    

    Also - when debugging bash scripts it’s often helpful to just put “echo” before the line you’re questioning to see what exactly is being run. e.g.:

    #!/bin/bash
    VER="${1}"
    echo apt install "./${VER}/opensnitch_${VER}_amd64.deb" "./${VER}/python3-opensnitch-ui_${VER}_all.deb"
    

    That will show the the command that would have run rather than running it, then you can inspect it for errors and even copy/paste it to run it by hand.
