Fixing apt-key deprecation warnings

sudo echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/logrifle-pubkey.pgp] http://apt.logrifle.de/ /" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/logrifle.list
sudo apt-key del A9BC0423A300B63A7360D629368D26AFE5A29B86
sudo apt update
The last command (apt update) should now happily run through without apt-key warnings.
