You can actually do this, as a fob, but you have to buy one from a vending machine in the gym. Remembering the pin is easier.

I love reading about this sort of thing. My personal solution to the issues with the app and the wait for it to work (if it worked) was to memorize the pin. I believe I'm still quicker getting in than even the OPs solution, and with less hassle too since I don't need a device or any services.

As someone who knows SQL and doesn't develop with (Java|Type)Script this looks way more verbose and confusing.

In which format? As a list of 1s and 0s; in hex? TCP or IP if I just pasted the textual version of any binary data id captured without some form of conversion it's not good to look at. Especially if it's not accompanied by the encoding schema so you can actually make sense of it.

I'm assuming, since it's a binary encoded, the textual output would not be something you'd like to look at.

This and the many other stories like this is why none of these companies has any of my data.

I've been using iwr for years and didn't know that the progress bar added latency! Much appreciated.

My main point to the OP was more that it's just an alias, you can remove it and use real curl if you want.

I feel like I keep harping on about Nushell but as scripting languages go it's right up there for me. Built with rust too and comes with a ton of stuff built in.

What's the niche this fills? I came across roc-lang recently which seemed interesting too, again built with rust, and opinionated on certain things common in older languages.

It doesn't have to, and obviously it's your project, but what is this offering over other languages. Why would I reach for it?

I don't think it's fair to say Microsoft hijacked the curl command. It's just an alias for a powershell cmdlet. Powershell is definitely not perfect but theres less pitfalls than bash (string quoting, etc; there's loads: https://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashPitfalls). I think powershell was/is a step in the right direction, but in that respective I also think Nushell is a massive improvement on top too.

All of this is opinion though, I just prefer the stuff you get out the box you don't with bash.
