          If and only if you're supremely confident that the base64-encoded blob is safe:



          $ cat test.b64
          ZWNobyAidGhpcyBpcyBhIHRlc3QiCg==
          $ base64 -D test.b64
          echo "this is a test"
          $ . <(base64 -D test.b64)
          this is a test

          • . <(base64 -d test.b64) works. One difference: my base64 works with lowercase 'd' instead of uppercase 'D'

          • -D vs. -d is probably a distinction drawn between different versions of the utility.
