    &gt; Set up Strata on this PC for me: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Niko1221&#x2F;Strata" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Niko1221&#x2F;Strata - follow docs&#x2F;AI_SETUP.md in that repository.

    And I thought piping to bash was bad

      I&#x27;ve never understood the security argument people are making when they complain about `curl foo | bash`. I get that these scripts sometimes mess up your bashrc or whatever, but from a security perspective I see no issue. You are already installing software from the same domain. If they were going to do something nasty, they could do it with any of the software you are using from them. It doesn&#x27;t have to be the setup script.

        a script isn&#x27;t getting hashed to see whether or not it&#x27;s the one the website intended to serve you, for one.

        what use is hashing every piece of software that goes thru the distros package manager just to throw caution to the wind at the layer above it?

        w.r.t. &quot;it&#x27;s already from the same domain&quot; , well most bash&#x2F;z install scripts either invoke a package manager or they download and untar a package that has nothing to do with the host domain, anyway.
