Neat! But it's not obviously a bad idea. You have a TLS connection with the site you're downloading from. `curl | bash` is no worse than downloading a .dmg or .deb from the same server would be.

deb/rpm is better because it's usually signed by maintainer with GPG keys. I think that it's harder to steal keys from maintainer than to infiltrate web server.

>>vbezhe+p2
For the most part you receive the GPG keys over the same TLS connection, though.

That's an antipattern, should use keyservers.
