I found this handy script. It migrates apt keys from trusted.gpg to separate key files under trusted.gpg.d, and adds appropriate [signed by] entries to sources in sources.list.d.
It didn't update all of my sources. It doesn't remove keys from trusted.gpg, but it seems useful to me and should be included in Debian.

Where's a GUI tool to open trusted.gpg, show a list of keys in it, let me select keys, extract them to trusted.gpg.d and delete them from trusted?

Question for #Debian #Linux folk:
In these days of deprecating apt-key, there has to be an easier way to add a public key to apt's keyring than the many cumbersome (and not very reliable) ways I've found on the web. It almost seems as if they DON'T want ANYONE including administrators to add public keys any more!
Ideas????

This evening's sky photographed with my Pixel 7, with no additional processing. Saw this as I parked our car at the end of a grocery shopping run.

I'd figure that investors have to manage their taxes, too, so being able to offset gains from a for-profit project with donation/deductible support for non-profits would help.
Plus they'd be scoring points on the This Investor is a Good Person scale.

Tonight's #sunset photo outside our backdoor. Today has been rainy and cloudy, with flood warnings courtesy of a kona low. Shot with a Pixel 7 using its ordinary Photo mode.

Guesses?
Fund server costs.
Fund developers.
Not try to turn it into a for-profit operation. Maybe think of it as a donation-to-nonprofit operation?

I met people in the Commodore Hawaii User Group (CHUG) many decades ago when I handed over to them my collection of Commodore VIC-20 and C64 computers, peripherals, etc.
One member was writing a realtime stock trading system on his C64 in 6510 Assembler. I have no idea how it turned out. Since the C64 could only do 300baud serial, I doubt it was very close to realtime!

I think the first people to be in the frontlines should be the political leaders that start wars. And not esconced in safe shelters, but out front with weapons in hand, doing the fighting themselves.

Of course! The American automatic reaction is, "WE HAVE TONS OF MONEY FOR GUNS AND BOMBS AND KILLING! Healthcare, housing, that other stuff? Sorry, nope that's too expensive, we don't have any money for that."
Stupid USA!
