I only discovered this recently, and it’s very handy.

Piping scripts directly to bash is a security risk. You can always download the scripts, inspect them and run locally if you so choose.

          Upgrade what? The LXC/VM you just removed because of a wonky script?

          You went on with this for way too long, my guy. We get it, you don’t like the helper scripts.

            Did you purposefully misunderstand me? How did you not know that I meant “how do you update the thing you installed with a rando shell script” and not “how do you update something after removing it”?

          I’m pretty sure for most of them you just type update and it will update.

      AUR repo items don’t necessarily clean themselves up properly either. So I’m not sure why you think that’s part of some requirement for the scripts if we’re comparing the 2.

      Edit: But in the case of this specific repo… You delete the lxc or vm that you created.
