One of the best things I ever did was add --rsyncable into Debian's gzip. Of course, doing things like this is natural when you're hanging around Tridge.
I hadn't thought about it in years, but today I not only got to use it, BUT I discovered Proxmox already uses it by default. Shrinking my offsite archive sync by 20x.
I think 2000-era Rusty just earned 2026-era Rusty a drink!
