I suggest rewriting the entire article. “Download this script from internet and run it on your machine” just sounds like a really bad idea to do habitually, even if this specific script turns out to be OK.
Possible improvements:
post the entire script in the article (if not too long)
add a link where users can view the script in browser before downloading
And maybe some explanation would be nice, like who is “2600:1f18:17c:2d43:338d:2669:3fa5:82f8” and what does the script actually do.
“2600:1f18:17c:2d43:338d:2669:3fa5:82f8” is an IPv6 address, which one reverse lookup site maps to an Amazon AWS server in Ashburn, Virginia. There could be anything on that machine, and no-one to connect it with. But the URL given does not work in my web browser or in curl. Looks sketchy to me.
