   &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.

         There is no argument. It&#x27;s just people&#x27;s reflex reactions.

         The technical excuses they come up with (e.g. that the server can detect it and send different content) are just post-hoc justifications for their instinct.

         Just ignore them.
