Want to wade into the sandy surf of the abyss? Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid.
Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful youāll near-instantly regret.
Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.
If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cutānāpaste it into its own post ā thereās no quota for posting and the bar really isnāt that high.
The post Xitter web has spawned so many āesotericā right wing freaks, but thereās no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iām talking redscare-ish, reality challenged āculture criticsā who write about everything but understand nothing. Iām talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyāre inescapable at this point, yet I donāt see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnāt be surgeons because they didnāt believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canāt escape them, I would love to sneer at them.
(Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this.)


Itās probably a coincidence, but there have been a whole bunch of minor regression bugs in recent point releases of
rsync, and also there are a whole bunch of commits from ātridge and claudeā.slop code in rsync timeline
ĪØ(dĻd )ĪØWell, that might be the first package that I have to locally pin to a pre-slop commit. Thanks for the heads-up. Iāve never bothered to implement
rsyncmyself even though the algorithm is documented; maybe this will be the push I need.I think the openbsd reimplementation is as of yet untouched at least, so that is an option

Huh, havenāt heard of that before, lemme go check its Wikipedia page and-
Okay this sounds very fucking bad
that EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD FUCKING USES
itās one of the tiny bricks way down the xkcd diagram
At this rate, Adobe Flash is gonna come back into relevance by being one of the few things not slopified into uselessness
(it almost certainly wonāt, but I find it oddly hard to rule out the possibility)
