The packages.microsoft.com repositories are regularly broken, which results in perennial build failures if you use GitHub Actions which includes it by default. GitHub's response to "your default configuration is broken" was basically "welp, NOMFP": https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/issues/3410 https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/issues/3410

Is there a way to easily change the default and if so what is a good mirror?

  I have no need for MS packages, and so I simply for broken_apt_repository in `grep -lr microsoft /etc/apt/sources.list.d/`; do sudo rm $broken_apt_repository; done before I do anything else. Others are not so lucky.

Uh somewhat off topic but is NOMFP a typo of NMFP (="not my fine problem")? Hadn't seen it before and big G suggests NMFP is way more common, with no hit that I saw explaining the 'O'.

  Is this another typo? NFMP = Not Fine My Problem? That said, I’d also like to know.

    I’d have guessed „none of my fucking problems“

    Typo yes, that's what I get from HN:ing on my phone. Thanks, and fixed.

    Aha, that was a couple of fathoms below my radar. Thanks!

    At first glance I thought "Not Our MFing Problem." Thanks.

      This seems quite plausible- moreso than using the first two letters of "Not."

  I thought it was "not our motherfucking problem".

      You don't need to self-censor, we're all adults, we know what you mean, the US government won't deplatform you for typing an u.

  Maybe “Not on my fucking plate”?

Oh, had this several times and removed MS repos in some projects. Maybe it worth to create the extension.

The packages.microsoft.com repositories are by far THE SLOWEST for `apt` updates. I wonder if there's a way to pick a faster mirror.
- G3rn0ti 5y ago
  If you are on Ubuntu you could install from Canonical‘s snap repo hosted by Canonical and not MS.
  - shrikant 5y ago
    I don't use snaps though...
