Question for rsync users on linux. Does your rsync preserve creation times --crtimes ? I'm aware ext4/3 filesystems don't store creation times. But I want to use rsync on Linux to …

Admittedly my only exposure to the Secure Scuttlebutt Protocol(SSB) is through manyver.se [1] - a FOSS private(optionally) social media app. And the syncing issue you mention has b…

Couple more things wget can do that curl can't. 1. wget can resolve onion links. curl can't(yet). You'll get a curl: (6) Not resolving .onion address (RFC 7686) 2. curl has problem…
