ahistorical immaterialistTIL that the scp command does not, by default, compress files it transfers, and that you need to add the -C flag to make it do that, and by doing that I have sped up my transfer speed about 40x, and without this knowledge I have probably wasted literally days of my life waiting for things in the past.
Some may say "why are you using scp rather than rsync" and to that I say, rsync has even more ridiculously complicated flags to learn.
Pär Björklund@jimbob also scp is included with windows, rsync is not 😀

Resuna@penryu @Paxxi @jimbob I kept running into Steve Walli at Usenix when he was working on Interix (later to become SFU), and at one I asked him when they were going to get bought by Microsoft and shelved. He said it was unlikely for legal reasons. Next year they had been bought by Microsoft and shelved. I asked him if he was lying when he said that and he asked "was it early or late in the convention?"...
Demand meant they had to bring it back but boy were they passive-aggressive about it.
