Reminder that the pattern has the same risk as downloading software that you haven’t audited and verified the binary matches the source.

Reminder that there is the reductive argument that basically everything you download is arbitrary code, but throwing away the code that is run seems uniquely silly.

How is it silly to throw away code that you'll run only once?

I'm not sure why you think pointing out the risk of regular unaudited unverifiable downloads is reductive as you haven't provided any supporting arguments, only snark. You seem like a cunt.

Neither traditional downloads and curl | bash are commonly stored long term for analysis.
