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. But the URL given does not work in my web browser or in curl. Looks sketchy to me.
