@GFD @platinumtulip Incidentally, I have a *very specific* criticism of the "curl | bash" idiom that doesn't specifically have to do with "did you read it": When you curl | bash the executed code is a *one off* transmission, piped into bash and then lost. This means that the server has the potential to serve a *unique* script, never seen before or since. This makes such actions less secure than, say, running a script from a git repo (hashed) or even to some degree copypasting from a SO page.
