Rsync has code which specifically checks if a file is truncated during read and gives this error — ENODATA. I don't know why the files in /sys have this behavior, but since they're not real files, I guess it's not too surprising. There doesn't seem to be a way to tell rsync to skip this particular check.
I think you're probably better off not rsyncing /sys ...

First off /sys is a pseudo file system. If you look at /proc/filesystems you will find a list of registered file systems where quite a few has nodev
in front. This indicates they are pseudo filesystems. This means they exists
on a running kernel as a RAM-based filesystem. Further they do not require a
block device.
$ cat /proc/filesystems
nodev sysfs

I'd recommend that you use rvm to manage Ruby versioning.
First install rvm:
curl -L get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --autolibs=enabled
. ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm
rvm requirements
You'll probably want to source that on shell startup as well, so add it to your ~/.bashrc:
cat >> ~/.bashrc << 'EOF'
[[ -r ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm ]] && . ...

The ARM package has only just been updated; it likely just hasn't propagated to your mirror yet.
You can change your mirror in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist and then force a rsync of your local database with pacman -Syyu. Or you could just wait for the package to arrive on your current mirror.

Update2:
Forgot you posted the tar ball. Too bad. Anyhow, did a test on your .mod files
by using the below code and:
./grum_lic_test32 evan_teitelman/boot/grub/i386-pc/*.mod
which yielded the following error:

bufio.mod License: LICENSE=GPLv3+ OK

Short-term solution:
% sudo modprobe dummy
% sudo ip l set dev dummy0 name MyEth11
% sudo ip ad ad 192.168.255.254/30 dev MyEth11
% ip ad show dev MyEth11
14: MyEth11: <BROADCAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN

Check your most error log, it is probably located in /var/log/apache2/error.log or /var/log/httpd/error.log (or similar). It'll probably point you to the problem that @Eduan describes in the other answer.
It is good practice to always check the error logs first, there often is valuable information in them.

Just a guess but something like this in a file systemd/user/pulseaudio.service:
[Unit]
Description=PulseAudio Sound System
Before=sound.target
[Service]
BusName=org.pulseaudio.Server
ExecStart=/usr/bin/pulseaudio
Restart=always
[Install]
WantedBy=session.target
I found this in a github repo which had additional files related to systemd setup.

Set ADD_EXTRA_GROUPS and EXTRA_GROUPS in /etc/adduser.conf. From the manpage:
ADD_EXTRA_GROUPS
Setting this to something other than 0 (the default) will cause
adduser to add newly created non-system users to the list of
groups defined by EXTRA_GROUPS (below).
EXTRA_GROUPS
This is the list of groups that ...

Why don't you thoroughly read the wiki page that you linked:
Packages in Arch Linux are built using the makepkg utility and
information stored in PKGBUILDs. When makepkg is run, it
searches for a PKGBUILD in the current directory and follows the instructions therein to either compile or otherwise acquire the
files to build a package file

Make a launcher for IntelliJ and Synapse should automatically pick it up:

Typically, in a distribution, it's recommended that you use the distribution's package manager. You can of course install things using pip (or, in the perl world, cpan), or compile and install things yourself. However, when you do this, the distribution's package manager doesn't know about them and can't manage dependencies or updates for them.
Using pip ...

To manage different ruby versions installed simultaneously you have a choice of three version managers for ruby:
rvm, as suggested by Chris Down in his answer
rbenv
chruby
After trying all three on Arch, I would recommend chruby: it is simpler than the other two, is not as invasive in terms of how it works with your $PATH or overwrites cd, and does not ...

Take a look at this thread over on ubuntugeek.com titled: Boot-Repair – Simple tool to repair frequent boot problems. This tool may be able to help repair what's wrong with your HDD. Looking at the list of features this seems like the easiest way to try and repair your boot partition without getting your hands too dirty.

Its not a common problem for mech keyboards, and the cherry MX switch was made to stop this problem, because of the way the switch works you have to come back off the contact past the latching point to make another contact its not like a 'dome board.
That said after many years of using most types of mech 'board without ever seeing a problem, I thought I ...

In a similar situation on Ubuntu, I just installed the (repeatedly) required package and removed the individual files afterwards, based on list of installed file the package manager told me about.
Just make sure nothing of your own installation gets overwritten.
The one thing I found over time is that some package use their installation scripts to generate ...

I have a similar mac that I run Arch on assuming you have a broadcom card there are three possible drivers that may (or may not) work. (broadcom-wl) works for me. Also check pm-utils for powersaving settings. Further details on both can be found on the Arch wiki here
For further help post the wireless card info found with lspci.
