This isn't as secure as checking the package signature would be _if_ you previously had our package signing public key, but on another distro you probably don't have that yet, so checking the digest against its copy obtained from this separate website is a best-effort measure.
Install the package with `rpm -U --nodeps`. The `--nodeps` option is needed to bypass the dependency check on our `rocky-release` package. In essense, you're manually confirming to `rpm` that you're installing on a compatible distro.
You'll normally install packages from the mirrors, which should just work. However, if there's any issue with the mirrors and you uncomment our `baseurl` line instead, then on non-Rocky you'll need to use `DNF_VAR_sigcontentdir=/pub/sig dnf` in place of simply `dnf`.
