[2026-04-02T00:01:26Z] sad_plan: manual tar with netcat [2026-04-02T00:01:45Z] with rsync I was stuck to 10mbps [2026-04-02T00:02:04Z] manual netcat a tat archive went to 300mbps, the maximum network throughput [2026-04-02T00:05:21Z] hm, ok if there were only a handfull of files, I get that this solution is probably decent. but with just shy of 3500 files, im not sure this is better [2026-04-02T00:05:45Z] the only time the speed here is an issue, for me atleast, is if I have to sync the entire thing [2026-04-02T00:06:56Z] interesting idea though. never really used netcat for much of anything really [2026-04-02T05:33:50Z] sewn tbh anything that copies anything from A that isn't in B is fine. [2026-04-02T05:33:55Z] i could just use a shell oneliner [2026-04-02T05:34:01Z] but i'm lazy [2026-04-02T06:07:11Z] midfavila, you need the --whole-file flag in rsync. the differential algo can be a HUGE bottleneck in some cases. [2026-04-02T12:23:28Z] Ozymandias42: openrsync doesnt support that lol [2026-04-02T12:23:40Z] I just use rsync -av --del when syncing. easy peasy [2026-04-02T12:35:46Z] sad_plan: never heard about openrsync. why is that a thing and how does it differ from normal rsync? [2026-04-02T13:22:51Z] Ozymandias42: its openbsd's rsync. it just has less options than regular rsync from samba [2026-04-02T13:23:11Z] why they made it, I have no clue. but they did [2026-04-02T13:26:55Z] What do you think of Nix? [2026-04-02T14:20:29Z] fucking webkit man... ive enabled wayland for gtk and couple other things, and rebuilt them, and when I rebuild webkit, I see at the bottom when its done configuring - wayland OFF. even though ive explicitly enabled it. [2026-04-02T14:39:39Z] oh, so thats how it is. Ive rebuilt gtk+3, but for some reason it wasnt installed with the wayland stuff.. silly me [2026-04-02T16:54:25Z] sad_plan: as with a lot of openbsd projects im sure they were greatly unhappy with the code quality of the og [2026-04-02T16:54:39Z] that's why libressl exists anyway [2026-04-02T17:02:22Z] Nix and kiss are miles apart but I'd still like to hear your thoughts... The kiss-adjacent Linux user's perspective [2026-04-02T17:05:21Z] To my limited knowledge, it's easy to install your custom system anywhere and any time with minimal user interaction. As anti-kiss as it may be, another plus is so many projects seem to support it by default. [2026-04-02T17:05:54Z] but it sounds like a lot of hassle post-installation [2026-04-02T17:07:05Z] kris_: yeah probably right [2026-04-02T17:10:31Z] i fail to see how nix and kiss is even comparable. they have wildly different goals [2026-04-02T18:21:56Z] They aren't comparable, I am curious how people here see Nix. [2026-04-02T18:22:50Z] i don't see the point of nix compared to a shell script that contains all of a user's configuration options [2026-04-02T18:30:26Z] personally a big fan of it [2026-04-02T20:15:24Z] nix sounds really cool [2026-04-02T20:15:28Z] also heard great things about guix [2026-04-02T20:15:40Z] really scratches a itch with packaging in general [2026-04-02T20:16:18Z] like I really, *really* respect their efforts at making packages consistent and reproducible [2026-04-02T20:16:43Z] damn I should really continue the kiss sandbox wrapper [2026-04-02T23:26:38Z] dery: oasis has 100% reproducable builds C:
