FWIW, Rsync dev has written this blog post from his point of view: https://medium.com/@tridge60/rsync-and-outrage-d9849599e5a0
Barely skimmed it, but it says stuff like
which is sold-in-dumpster-alley quality copium, and also that version 3.5 is going to "raise the bar enormously with regards to rsync security", so I guess we're looking at a notably vibe coded security model for rsync going forward?
The number of one shotted people who think that "stochastic parrot" is an insult and not just a definition/description of how the models work is funny. Similar to how lots of cishet white guys get really upset when you call them cishet white guys (fwiw I am a cishet white guy)
