Issues Related To Fastgithub And Other Self-Signed Certificates In Language-Specific Package Managers

This article addresses the issue of slow download speeds caused by self-signed certificates in language-specific package managers like npm and yarn. It proposes solutions such as using cnpm, a version of the npm command-line interface that uses a different registry, and configuring binary distribution file mirrors to improve performance.
