gollark: They should just become the Pope and retroactively make it valid.
gollark: I think that I will simply not do that, and leave it running for as long as my laptop is on, and then wait for the inevitable nightly backup process to restart the rsyncing anyway.
gollark: It occupies a full 0.5p of storage, by my 2p/GB metric.
gollark: Wow, Grafana is 241MB?
gollark: rsync is probably maybe resumable later anyway. But still.
