Complaints against curl <https-url> | sh in favor of downloading a pkg are the equivalent of requiring shoes off at TSA. Security theater.
@dmitry_vk or do you feel as strongly that you should not use PPAs as you do about| sh?

@wycats I'm actually more comfortable with PPA/.deb/.ebuild not b/c of security; pkg mgr prevents a lot of bugs of custom installers -
@dmitry_vk it's pretty easy to mess up your PPA and I've experienced that. -
@dmitry_vk but now we're pretty far from the knee jerk "stupidest idea in the world, LOL what idiots" response I was reacting to. -
@wycats sure; "curl HTTP://..." deserves this reaction, not "curl HTTPS://..." -
@dmitry_vk fine with me. -
@dmitry_vk although doing it to a new user trying to learn a programming language isn't OK, but that was already litigated in the OP
