    literally free software with a free licence… just fork it

    maintaining a fork is a lot of work and currently there is nobody even helping review commits in the mainline version.

    i am also disgusted by the use of discord but i recommend reading tridge’s messages yesterday in this log of the rsync discord for some context about recent events.

    tldr: it isn’t that he just decided to start changing things using claude and broke a bunch of stuff; the bugs he introduced recently are side effects of security fixes for the onslaught of security vulnerabilities which other people are finding using LLMs.

      So you don’t have the capacity to create something yourself but you seem to have a lot of capacity to pile on and bully someone who is literally working for free.

      I can’t wait to see how this strategy pays off. I’m sure your “hard work” will pay off!! 😉

        I think you’ve misunderstood me :)

        I am advocating for having some sympathy for the guy working for free, and pointing out that your capacity for saying “just fork it” most likely does not translate into capacity to actually fork it.

          I didn’t say it did, I’m saying help or get out of the way.

          Bitching and moaning and making demands of a volunteer until they do what you want them to is not going to produce the results you want.
