Bustin' makes me feel good.
Installer.exe is still safe af
- curl $URL | sudo bash anyone?
  
  I non-ironically like this approach for package managers (cargo, gvm, conda, poetry, etc), because I eventually have problems when installing a manager with another manager.
- Had to install a VPN for work, and if you didn't have a rhel-based distros you had to use a bash install script, and the installed executable had embedded bash and sh scripts. Needless to say I ran that thing in a docker container.
  
  How did you get it to work? I can't seem to figure out how to get my container VPN to connect with the host (and the containerized systemd daemon.service just crashes).
- AUTOEXEC.BAT has entered the chat
  
  _AUTOEXEC.BAT.RAR
  
  ^password ^is: ^123
  
  Instructions: when windows prompts you, click on install anyways.
