    If you’re certain that only the housing of the connector has changed from old motor to new motor, and each pin inside the housing is the same, then I’d recommend trying a heat gun to melt the waxy adhesive, followed by poking around with a tiny flat screwdriver to unlatch the pins.

    But if it were me, I’d just splice the wires. You will need heatshrink or at least electrical tape, a soldering iron, and solder. A good splice can easily handle more current than that little connector.







  • Mozilla, for example, would sign Firefox’s flatpak with a PGP key that they would disclose on their website. You verify the signature using the RSA algorithm (or any other algorithm for digital signatures. There are a bunch.) Or, you could just trust that your connection wasn’t tampered the first time, then you would have the public key, and it would verify each time that the package came from that same person. Currently, you have to trust every time that your connection isn’t tampered.

    Major flatpak providers (Flathub at the very least) would include their PGP public key in the flatpak software repo, and operating system vendors would distribute that key in the flatpak infrastructure for their operating system, which itself is signed by the operating system’s key.
