It seems according to pkgsrc.org that pkgin might follow the PKG_PATH environment variable. You're supposed to set PKG_PATH="http://cdn.NetBSD.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/$(uname -p)/$(uname -r|cut -f '1 2' -d.)/All/", and according to uname(1), -p gives the processor architecture and -r gives the operating system [kernel] release.

I still have a Slackware install that runs some really old stuff I have. I remember working at AN ISP in the 90s and slack was are secure distro. All the important stuff (authentication, configs, etc.) were stored and served from our 'slack pool'. Funny part is now I do a very basic Slackware install that setup pkgsrc (https://pkgsrc.org) on it so I can really experience the best and worst of times! - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

Today the second article on cross-platform package management has been published. It features a short description of what Pkgsrc and Ravenports are and a longer part on how they compare. The test environment and procedure is covered and of course the results are presented. At the end a conclusion is drawn. Source: over 2 years ago

Grow up lol, it's a free ad free service and using a file transfer like https://blackhole.run/ or https://wormhole.app/ is not a gient inconvenience. Source: about 3 years ago

↪ blackhole.run — Blackhole is a file-sharing program that uses it's own custom end-to-end encrypted, decentralized, and open source Blackhole protocol. (I kinda like to think of it as like a Lightshot/Gyazo for files.) You can just drag it into the icon on your systray and it will provide a link to share the file. No tracking/cookies, and everything is encrypted and fragmented. Source: over 3 years ago
