      1 # A function to update discord on Debian
      2 
      3 Updating discord is annoying. Initially, this script automated the process. Now, it also checks headers, so that it can be added to a crontab or similar, and it only downloads the ~100 Mb discord file if it is indeed new.
      4 
      5 ## Usage
      6 
      7 **Download and execute**
      8 
      9 ```sh
     10 $ curl https://git.nunosempere.com/NunoSempere/update_discord/raw/branch/master/update_discord.sh -o update_discord.sh
     11 $ cat update_discord.sh
     12 $ bash update_discord.sh
     13 ```
     14 
     15 **Add to .bashrc**
     16 
     17 You might also want to add the contents of update_discord.sh to your `.bashrc` file or similar.
     18 
     19 **Usage in cron**
     20 
     21 I think this is how you would add this to a crontab: 
     22 
     23 ```
     24 $ sudo crontab -e
     25 # Then, inside the crontab
     26 8 * * * * bash /download_path/update_discord.sh
     27 ```
     28 
     29 However, I haven't tested this yet with a new update
     30 
     31 ## Stack
     32 
     33 - curl
     34 - apt—implying Debian or derivatives
     35 - bash
     36 
     37 
     38 ## Security posture
     39 
     40 Total disregard. If you automatically download discord updates, if they are compromised you would have no warning.
