Seems like he's been pushed into using LLMs as a way to cope with the deluge of LLM-generated security reports.

There's a bit of opinionated context here, in Danish. Get your LLM to translate it for you.

Thanks. Yeah, I've never looked into code quality of many tools I use on a regular basis. So far, rsync has served me well. I've been using it at work, at home, for larger amounts of data... Without major hiccups. And we kinda need something like this. It's a bit of a shame how many essential software projects at the foundation of many things struggle being maintained. My distro has openrsync in the repository. Seems just that that software project is also a one-man-show.

(Btw, Firefox Translate for the win, I don't really need a big LLM to translate stuff.)
