@hailey FFS can we fork rsync and have a non-AI coded version?!
Why don't intelligent people get this: AI (LLM) coding takes vast amounts of power and resources and puts control in the hands of totally unethical mega-corps and billionaires. Not too mention the copyright infringement and lack of attribution that comes with LLM-coded slop.
@fionasboots @hailey Already done a few years go due to some licencing issues to produce openrsync (https://github.com/kristapsdz/openrsync)

I looked through the history and a lot of this would be unnecessary if rsync didn't include a daemon. I, for one, have no use for it, and it seems to me like it would be a good idea to architecturally separate the one-shot CLI tool from the persistent service.

@hailey I hope Unison gets a unidirectional mode & also a package for Termux & Chimera Linux. I would probably do it myself if I knew how to package software.

@hailey we had things that worked as intended. Now we have AI and start reinventing the wheel.

@hailey Gonna lock the version on all my systems (altough Debian, Void and FreeBSD might do that too and I don't even have to)
@speaktrap @hailey What is the last slop-free version?

Given a choice between freezing all packages before vibe coding was "discovered" and packaging upstream releases, the former is not fully practical. The Gentoo social contract requires following council mandated policies about how one interacts with the Gentoo project, but doesn't control what other projects merge.
The kernel is slopcoded too, but we can't exactly do without that, now can we? Well, okay, we recently added experimental GNU Hurd support.
