Damn, thats weird. I've had very good luck getting refunds from aliexpress, usually its very easy.
If all goes well, you should get a refund from Ali, and then you can rewire it anyway. Good luck
Thats how it works in theory, but in practice it comes down to trust more than anything else.
Its more effort to read and validate your list than it is to just go and download the installer directly. So you need people to trust you.
Cut the plug of and rewire it?
At least swaped LN in a rack is slightly less of a problem, unless you have a rack mounted toaster. The live and neutral are both safely terminated inside the PSU's, so you can't accidentally touch live.
Sure, you might today, but tomorrow? How can anyone trust that you wont start serving malicious links?
Better is a wild claim.
You're right, gists do seem to update with the static url, however that isnt necessarily better, it now means your gist is effectively under your control, and you can replace the installers with malware packed ones. Operating a software repository/installer requires that people trust you, and that is basically impossible for a no-name dev with no history.
You ideally should be doing checksum checks as well.
Solar, battery, EV, make sure your appliances are efficient and electric, pay for green energy. Encourage your neighbours to do the same.
Other than that, brace for impact. Seek out a local "climate cafe", they likely have resources to help:
Hello! Let us hold hands and wiggle them to greet each.
Updating the gist gives a new URL no?
Some feedback:
let remote_url = "https://gist.githubusercontent.com/ZeSystem-Inc/20ddc1ac41d73c6033cee3b4a5ab1a85/raw";
You have effectively hardcoded the list of software you support, ideally you should be able to dynamically update the list, otherwise you have no way to revoke or update versions if required. And if its hardcoded, why bother network requesting for it, just build it into the binary. Would be a little larger binary, but even faster.
No dependency resolution – eliminates fragility.
Meaningless, there is no dependency resolution because thats done for you by the installers.
Written in Rust – memory-safe, zero-cost, ultra-fast.
The task you are doing is entirely IO bound, rusts performance is irrelevant.
Realistically, your router isnt tracking your movement in your house. It may be possible, but there just isnt any value to doing that.

That's a little out of date, but might be useful if you want a WiFi router to protect yourself in a hotel. Pointless at home though.
KYC is not just for funsies, they are legal requirements for a lot of businesses. If they don't legally have to store information, they can just choose not to. It doesnt require a framework, Lemmy manages just fine without storing personal data.
