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.

Fun fact, a malicious server can detect the difference between you loading the script for inspection in your browser, and you doing
curl | sh, and could serve an entirely different script.https://lukespademan.com/blog/the-dangers-of-curlbash/
Yeah - it’s remarkable that I receive pushback about it. I guess it’s down to the technical immaturity of your average home-gamer vs. people who support Linux systems for a living?
Of course, Linux sysadmin needs linux to remain a ceaseless whirlpool of busywork, that’s what they’re paid for. Imagine having a tool that cuts the bullshit out of using linux, it would put them right out of business if the users could just do the things they want to do without having to beg the middleman.
🤣
OMG this is so dumb.
Edit: I’m thinking this was satire?
Why else would so many of them step on the brake with both foots, shut down any way to streamline them out of the picture, while proposing impossible alternatives or even no alternatives. And of course it’s always about "for your security and safety "
This wasn’t satire?
🤣 🤣
I’ve never said a joke in my life

It is worse to even try to do it yourself, you’re more likely to mess up then if you just pipe those script into your root shells, even if you’re an expect, because even one good expert is hopeless compared with multiple experts
That’s why I also self host the scripts I’ve vetted…
