Sorry for my previous rant, but Richard #Stallman has been predicting this since *decades* from their libre ITS machines suffering corporate bullshit forever. Their own GNU project was to liberate #Unix from the #AT&T hands. Yes, it was and it's a bit bloated from the #BSD perspective, I know, I was an OpenBSD user and now #9front, but #hyperbolaBSD will try to fix that: minimalist BSD freedom with a #GNU license. And you might not need to suffer FFSv2 fscking itself again ;) as a plus.

So you if you now need a free #Unix, you know what to support. Consider anything from #Redhat/#IBM ultimately tainted. #Trisquel
it's sadly on a razors' edge. They will patch it... until they can't anymore.

#GNU #Guix it's fine, but better if you pick it bia Bittorrent under a non-US mirror.

If you want a Unix 2.0, head to #9front, but help with ath9k drivers (there are none) as they are the only ones without needing binary blobs (less opaque things to debug and a total freedom to distribute them with base).

When corporate 'open source' supporters put their idiotic identity policies first before the actual free software freedom, you get mobs lynching Richard #Stallman and now being shut up about corporate #spyware with #SystemD mandating age verification.

Ironically the #guix people don't use shepherd, but some maintainers tried to coup #gnu

But I don't blame them: these are equally screwed in a near future with the incoming
orwellian policies affecting their #guile project themselves. Hope you learned a lesson, guys.

Enjoy your 'opensauce' surveillance state and corporations denying LGBT and women rights from your Apple machines, you fancy frapuccino nuts. Get your rights back and kick away people who bashed RMS down. RMS has been decades supporting LGBT, women, minorities and whatnot from its home page:

vm.dirty_ratio was 20 as I wrote before. I just now set it to 0 and restarted the rsync.

Also I don't see anything about this in the docs for sync.

I'll leave it at it is counter intuitive and kinda also against what people say about "sync" as well as what I got from reading the docs for it.

I really don't get this interaction between "sync" and "rsync". Tried it a few more times and it doesn't happen always but sometimes the "sync" gets stuck until rsync is finished completely. Even if it has yet to touch e.g. 3TB of data.

WTF?!?

Anyone seeing similar things or is there something else at play here too?
