alt Hacker NewsThere’s also MiniStack, which forked from LocalStack after they started breaking developer workflows: https://ministack.org/
Both fakecloud and its website look sloppily vibe-coded, and its “authors” are anonymous. It’s going to take a while for it to earn trust. I’d treat it with suspicion. (Curl-to-shell pipe to install? Ugh.)

The blog posts are all attributed to "Lucas Vieira" and the dev group https://faisca.dev that is attributed as the author has 2 other projects. Lucas comes up in LinkedIn and looks like an actual person working in San Francisco.
Re: curl; this seems to work:
cargo install fakecloud➕ show 1 reply
Agreed with everything up to:
"curl-to-shell pipe to install" - what's the problem here? that's pretty common on linux systems and something the AWS CLI uses.
Or is the problem the fact that this dev is untrusted and is executing a possibly malicious script on your machine?
