Github itself is a Github project, therefore using anything other than the API would be some code duplication. Merging, Pull-Requests, Branches, Issues: all this is already covered when using the normal API.

I'm sure it could be "more efficient" when having code explicitely for this purpose, but then again you have to maintain to different code bases which do the same.

Wrap it in $() to execute. And even if you pipe it into a file, no chmod is required. "sh file" works as it should

Besides that it's a shame that the option to just get the stream running in VLC is such a hassle (with VLC I get much lower CPU usage + the ability to freely move and resize the video and place it somewhere on my second screen, even fullscreen)

Atleast the archlinux.org forum has the geekiest "Captcha"-system I came across so far:

    What is the output of "date -u +%W$(uname)|sha256sum|sed 's/\W//g'"?
(This is not to prevent bots, but to prevent human spammers)

Oh sorry. Came across this story today and didn't check the post for a correct date.

Yeah, "leaked" is quite a statement here. The full source code is on github. Should be clear that someone will post a debug build of that, right?

Just change the current working directory in the script before running the task. No need to move them then.

I'm currently reading it. It gives a rather basic C introduction (I skipped it) but then it goes into explaining how to inject shell codes, using buffer overflows and getting deep into the assembly of programs. It's definitely great for a start.
