that looks better, thanks. Still it is from non-Fedora build but then it
contains only a text script anyway.

I do not like recommending such insecure behavior - to run untrusted binaries
with root permissions - without even warning it is insecure.

It is insecure to keep non-updated software installed/available on your
computer.
Anyway it somehow does not work for me, in the past I registered
https://linux-hardware.org/?probe=bf0a7f04b4
But now I cannot update the info trying to prevent a duplicate:
# hw-probe -get-inventory-id
Group ID: 8557d9ad
# hw-probe -inventory-id bf0a7f04b4
# hw-probe -get-inventory-id
Group ID: 4d2703f5

# hw-probe -get-inventory-id

1) Yep, it's safer to have a package in the official Fedora repositories. Spec is
available in the OBS project:
https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/home:linuxbuild/hw-probe/hw-...
2) The -get-inventory-id option creates a new inventory id (or 'group') to mark
new probes by this id. You've created too many inventory ids per day and received an
error when trying to create more. Usually it's enough to have only one inventory id.
bf0a7f04b4 is a probe id (10-digit), not the inventory id. Your inventory id is 8557d9ad
(8-digit). Just use it to mark all your future probes with the help of -inventory-id
option:
sudo hw-probe -all -upload -inventory-id G
It's enough to mark each unique computer once.
The command:
hw-probe -inventory-id G
does nothing without -all and -upload options.
The command:
hw-probe -get-inventory-id
creates a new group/inventory id (G) each time.
Thank you.
