This a artix linux mirror that is sync with https://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/artix/ or https://mirrors.dotsrc.org/artix-linux/repos/ at least once per mouth or some times once per week dependences on how mush free time i have.
I test the mirror https://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/artix/ on a virtual box running artix plasma dinit i run sudo pacman -Syu
Then once the update is done i check to see if any basic functitons are broken like plasma and networking. the test i do will be short but i should be able to see if a update would break something on a system that would only have liberewolf installed.
Then if i see that the update does not break the system i will sync up with https://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/artix/
You may get a error like this.
[vapoursynth] Could not initialize VapourSynth scripting.
[user_filter_wrapper] Creating filter 'vapoursynth' failed.
To fix this I compiled an older version of vapoursynth (R73-1) from:
My compiled vapoursynth (R73-1) package can be downloaded from:

If you want to use my mirror add this you your top of you're /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
#Tested Stable Artix Linux Mirror
Server = https://artix.cybermaid.nz/files/$repo/os/$arch
sudo mv /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-back
sudo curl https://artix.cybermaid.nz/mirrorlist-example -o /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
sudo cp /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-back /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
Updating arch should be a worry free experience, This is my attempt at making it close to a worry free experience as possible
Some updates might break Artix Linux such as Latest plasma update broken
This can create a horrible user experience for a user that has just downloaded a ISO and finished install and then ran sudo pacman -Syu
In my first week of switching to Artix Linux. plasma broke after i ran sudo pacman -Syu i rebooted and was greeted with a blank screen.
so my thought where there has to be some sort of stable mirrors that i could of used so if i ran sudo pacman -Syu i would know the OS would not break is a big way.
But there was not so i made my own mirror in where i test if a update will break something big like plasma.
