    Everyone is deleting data, but with proper backups that’s not a problem. How about:

    curl insert_url_here | sudo bash

    This can really mess up your life.

    Even if the script isn’t malicious, if the internet drops out halfway the download you might end up with a “rm -r /”, or similar, command.

      So many things these days use that install.sh piping stuff, very bad practice.
