fsync is god.awful.slow.

Are you using it on a SSD with the 'discard' mount option? If yes, that's what's making the fsyncs horribly slow.

Personally I don't use the discard option but I run fstrim from a cron job once a week to TRIM the SSD. Works like a charm.

(Also, once you mount a SSD root with -o discard, remounting it using -o remount,nodiscard will not fix the fsync problem. A reboot is required.)

Having a 'right' to Internet would require this to be an obligation upon businesses that would have to provide this entitlement, obviously this would make it into an 'essential' service and the prices, by the way, would immediately be much higher than what they are now.
