Can I use it to run itself?
- wlib 5y agoNot without some modifications, which I did not make because the complexity would get crazy with shell scripting
- cratermoon 5y agoWould you trust it on itself? https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rdriley/487/papers/Thompson_1984_ReflectionsonTrustingTrust.pdf https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rdriley/487/papers/Thompson_1984_Ref...
- aufhebung 5y agoReflections on trusting trust wouldn't really apply here. The script is not a compiler, is not even compiled, and can be easily understood by reading it. Unless you think there is some vulnerability specific to /bin/sh and this script the citation is just wrong.
