From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You can redirect curl's output to a file with the
-o filename
option (or with> filename
for shell redirection). But in the case of sites like this which output ansi-escape-formatted data that isn't very useful.Also, after saving unknown data to a file it's common to look at it with
less
or perhapsxxd
orstrings
orfile
... all of which have had their own CVEs in recent years 🤦Computer security is a fractal of bad news.
