Context: A curious home user.
Two weeks ago I was ignorant (although a victim) of bitrot.
One week ago I was ignorant of concerns on non-ECC memory.
Although trying to avoid paranoia, is there anything I should know about copying large amounts of data over a network? E.g. if regularly rsyncing backups should I consider checksum triggers? I'd guess there is already error correction in the network protocol, but I've been proven wrong with HDDs and RAM.
