a really bad idea?
- beaumartinez 15y agoNo. You can have the same confidence it's legit as when you download an installer and run that. The bonus here is that you can load $URI and read the source before you even run it.
- xxpor 15y agoRight, I guess I was just thinking of the opposite direction. Usually I download something, look at it (more to see how it works, not security, but I digress) and then sh it.
