If github has no respect for you, don't feed it.

Please tell me what magical printer that is!

Sure is. btrfs-send is your friend. Yes, you do pay the cost of having to choose what you back up before backing up.
But you don't have to use btrfs-send either. Snapshot the entire drive, safely rsync, remove the snapshot. Also works, and without race conditions.

My 2 cents: btrfs snapshots.

Are they more useful though?
In my experience, it's like half-half. Sometimes KDE apps are messy, sometimes GNOME apps are lobotomized.

"Repository name should contain only alphanumeric, dash ("-"), underscore ("_") and dot (".") characters."
Hot take: we're too attached to the #Latin script. It's a historical accident that I can't call my #Git repo "привет" on a code #forge , and it's pushing a cool part the native cultures of billions of humans to the margin. Git itself can do it no problem!
And why should Дима switch to Latin for naming project if John doesn't switch to #кириллица anyway?

I hate this, and this keeps happening.
At least I can fix #qtcreator by manually tweaking the style (but why provide "system" if it doesn't work?)

Not good enough for me, I want to take a look at the contents of other directories while I'm moving stuff around.
I think the SSH protocol is the bottleneck, and I'm surprised that NFS has that problem. Wasn't it running over UDP?

How do you make it not freeze XD?
It doesn't freeze permanently, but it introduces such lags I have plans for writing a replacement.

NFS has a client/server running, too. But they are completely running in kernel mode.
SSHFS is slow and hangs on bad networks :/ I kinda want to write a replacement. It's not maintained anyway.

Make a new read-write subvolume based on the snapshot. Edit the file. Make a new snapshot.
Optionally remove the old snapshot and rename the new one.
Keep in mind that an edited snapshot is not a snapshot any longer :P
