there should be a boy band called rsync who are really good at backups

๐ŸŽถgirl if the world crashes tonight
all the stars fall out of sight
got a copy of your smile
stored safely for a while
three copies, two locations
off-site no complications
babe i loved you so much more
when i tested your restore

@NanoRaptor

Don't wanna merge a pull from you
Add another exploit to the issue queue
Don't update me; Claude's my alibi
Baby vibe vibe vibe (vibe vibe)

Don't wanna have to read this cruft
I'll let GPT write all the hairy stuff
Pipeline passes so it must be right
Baby vibe vibe vibe (oh no)

@uberduck

girl you said we'd always be
then you rm -rf'd me
thought our love was gone forever
but i had snapshots back to december

@NanoRaptor they'd go great for about 30 years, then their original manager comes out of retirement and releases a terrible new AI slop single that sounds like cats screwing on a tin roof. Some of their fans desert them, while others claim that this atonal wailing is the future of music.

@NanoRaptor

Rsync - We are backup vocals only.

@pwloftus @NanoRaptor
Async - every member records their part separately
Vsync - the music is less performant but has less tearing
Desync - the timing is way off
I'm sure there are more jokes that could be made here

@NanoRaptor
๐ŸŽถI even kept all the permissions and dates
So in the future I can keep it all straight

(Sorry for using "straight" during Pride Month...)

@NanoRaptor just as ntalk succeeded talk, and then ytalk succeeded ntalk, I believe we will soon see rsync replaced by nsync and eventually ysynk
@NanoRaptor imagines this as stereotypical AI slop music โ€‹โ€‹

@NanoRaptor Lots of Copies Keeps Stuff Safe.

@NanoRaptor In few years they're revealed as AI deepfakes and their fans all need therapy. After years of lawsuits the band's management send the fans credit notes for 5000 tokens to be used with their chatbot of choice.
@NanoRaptor There should be a boy band called ASYNC who vary the set list every night so you never know when it's going to end.
On the plus side, you can get started on the after party as soon as they start playing.
@NanoRaptor wow that's amazing! Never imagined best practices turned into a song but kudos!
@NanoRaptor Unfortunately, to keep it on theme, after the release of their first album it would turn out that it was AI generated.
@NanoRaptor bravissimo ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜‚
@NanoRaptor Their ill-advised reunion tour is a huge disappointment to fans. Their new material is uninspired, and they keep messing up the lyrics when performing their old hits.

@NanoRaptor

Wow, as if Thomas Pynchon was young again and had a better sense of humor.

@NanoRaptor

The number 1 hit would be "Restore my Love" ๐Ÿ˜‰

@NanoRaptor

I promise you, Iโ€™ll mirror your world,
Every little byte, yeah, you're my girl,
Through my data cable, fast or slow,
I will never let your data go,
Syncing my heart to your destination,
Baby, youโ€™re my media rotation!

๐Ÿ˜‰

@NanoRaptor
I use rsync most days. Sometimes more than once in a day. Not at all if no content created or no downloads.
@NanoRaptor with the way rsync seems to be going this boyband's career ends due to them using suno ai to release music
@NanoRaptor And she said "Ssh!... and she said Ssh!"

@NanoRaptor

You say my name, my disk skips a sector,
I start talking rubbish like a garbage collector,
I want to keep your data safe, you know that I love you.
My feelings are compliant with ISO 27002.
