ok i solved it
i'll live-patch the update script to output the url instead of curling it, and then i'll do the download on a remote box via ssh and bring in the file with scp, easy
maybe i'll make a shell script that does this for other installers using the same pattern too. i could call it bum, bro upgrade manager
bum updateor maybe i'll just call it
using an emoji as the binary name, how's that for a pattern? such innovation
linux needs to add this to systemd

and then it auto-resolves that to https://whatever/install.sh
it's the perfect solution, the init package manager
hey isn't that nix
