Seems like he’s been pushed into using LLMs as a way to cope with the deluge of LLM-generated security reports.

    Fair, but a little empathy for rsync users who only mean well would go a long way. The everyone-for-themselves mentality doesn’t tend to be very helpful most of the time, if ever.

      Meaning well and blasting the rsync maintainer with absolutist anti-LLM messages are very different things.

      Th rsync maintainer is ironing out issues. Use an old version and let him cook. Once things are stable, then pull the new version. If you’re on arch or another unstable distro that always pulls the latest version, this is what you signed up for. Staying on the bleeding edge means you’ll bleed.

      It doesn’t excuse attacking he maintainer who seems to be making a genuine effort. That shows a lack of empathy.

        …Which is why I specified those who only mean well. Obviously that doesn’t include the less pleasant crowd.
