So, i got a new work laptop and decided to use rsync to copy a bunch of stuff from old to new machine.

I ssh'd from new to old machine to verify I could connect the two. Then I ran rsync.

Turns out I never disconnected from the old machine. So that's where I typed the command.

Thus, I just looped from the old machine back to itself, duplicating a directory the hard way. And I filled up the disk.

@coreysnipes it's real real real!

TIL the term "butt rock" - and, not having heard it before, it meant exactly what I guessed

@nelson Yeah, I question whether to trust myself with power tools on a daily basis :blobsweats:

@agnes FWIW, when I was tinkering with meshtastic, I think I figured out that I needed a much better / bigger antenna to reach anyone further than the front yard of my house when I stuck one in my window
