@toran The pro version of Mobius Sync (basically Syncthing for iOS) works extremely well and allows you to sync to arbitrary folders (including the /On My iDevice/Obsidian) folder. It's 5$ USD, but it was worth every penny.

if anyone is using #syncthing on #linux I'd love to hear if you've managed to get file conflict resolution working. it doesn't seem to be showing any conflicts on my Debian machine even even i have been seeing them on Windows machines

5/ All the photos my wife and I take on our phones are automatically synced to our home system via #Syncthing, and I make various backups of them.

I have observed most people give no thought to digital preservation - even the same people that carefully preserve family photo albums. Digital photos - they are lost when their phone dies.

#Syncthing is such a great idea! I just wish that it was, you know, user friendly. My phone that has been syncing for weeks now just stopped, and I don't understand why. I added, trough some really convoluted steps, another phone, and it won't sync either. If I look really, really closely I can find an incomprehensible error message about "insufficient space on disk for database" – except I have more than enough space, so wtf?

@hyde @bbbhltz I'm in the "#obsidian with #vim editing turned on" camp for notes, after spending years trying to wrangle #vimwiki into working for me.

I have a bunch of different vaults for different things, most of which I sync between personal devices with #Syncthing

Finally, this #poll about #PasswordManagers is finished.

Total participants: 2400 people
Total boosts: 300
Total stars: 80
Discussion: see above

Results:

We know from this poll that among 2448 people for keeping their own passwords:

- 47% of them use #KeePassXC family
- 30% of them use #Bitwarden
- 2% of them use KDE #Wallet or GNOME #Seahorse
- 15% of them use other software

Where other software here are:
- #Passwordstore
- #GnuPG
- #Nextcloud Passwords
- #Syncthing

Thank you very much!

I have been playing with #syncthing today, it seems pretty awesome! But it only works of both devices are online at the same time. You need an always-on hub for it to sync reliably.

I guess I could run a syncthing container in a vm in some #cloud thingy somewhere, but I'd rather pay someone 5€ a month to do it for me. I was hoping that some #nextcloud provider would offer syncthing integration, but all I can find is instructions for building it, nobody seems to offer it as a product...

#Syncthing wäre meine erste Wahl, wenn es eine Lösung für #iOS gäbe…

I wrote "Building an #Asynchronous, Internet-Optional Instant Messaging System" today. It suggests using #DeltaChat (@delta) across an #email system that can run on non-IP networks to achieve #IM coverage without having to have an Internet backbone, using things like #NNCP, #Syncthing, #Filespooler, and such. I love the ways we can combine interesting tools like this!

I'm tunneling #syncthing over #yggdrasil so that I don't have to care about #routing or NATs or any of that. This is good and normal behavior, right?

@i Also take a look at #Syncthing, it's brilliant.

@zaddymagic @gentlemangeek @pluralistic Thanks for the tip. I haven't tried #ResilioSync since it's not #OpenSource and #syncthing and #NNCP meet my needs. Syncthing does have a way to exclude files by pattern as well: https://docs.syncthing.net/users/ignoring.html

@totoroot @hans I never said that.

I’ve been working on finding out what I want and need for my workstation and came to the wonderful conclusion that I can have 3 systems with exactly the same software without tons of personal discipline.

Combine that with #NextCloud and #Syncthing and the future looks very bright indeed. 😎🥳🤩

@gentlemangeek @pluralistic Let me push back on the all smart homes/cloud syncing options "violate privacy all the time." I personally use services that don't.

For #syncing, there's #Syncthing (doesn't even need a server), #Nextcloud (you can self-host or pick a cheap, ethical host), etc.

For smart homes and #HomeAutomation, use #HomeAssistant with #ZWave or #ZigBee and you get a better feature set than the commercial options and complete control.

Trying #syncthing for the second time after some years. Right now I am content with the result, though the usability is questionable. It does what it should and now my photos and videos from the phone will get synced to my computer.

@gwil Thanks for introducing me to #Earthstar! I hadn't known of it before. It looks like it has some things in common with #Syncthing, but perhaps more of an emphasis on collaborative editing and less on pure storage?
