How to keep more snapshots on the replication target than the source?

Amusingly (or sadly) enough, with 110ms RTT, SSH is slower than Tailscale. See my adventure at Is TrueNAS is shipping an SSH binary that throttles connections over high-latency links?

Time for plan C: zrepl. No VMs or LXCs or Docker containers. This should be doable with a shell script and a cron job. I cannot believe I am forced into doing this due to complete lack of tools on TrueNAS (you had one job, TrueNAS!), but so be it.
