Maybe it's going to work out. Maybe not.

But today, Nextcloud is really pissing me off. :dumpsterfire:

Slow.
Latency from hell.
Insane symlink behavior.

Honestly, if you can't beat rsync with your snazzy new code, you should just write a web front-end for rsync and be done with it.

Hmmm.... :leftsharkdance:

Now I'm wondering if I could just do that...

A little Flask app that just sets up the parameters right and calls rsync?

Could that work..? :raccoon_cool:

Probably not for everything, but maybe for those damned EXR-stream Render folders.

I think people have tendency to underestimate how much thought went into utilities like rsync.

Those UNIX utilities are bomb-proof, man. They've Seen Things.

Honestly, though, "Catling Gun" was right there...
