#Syncthing

4 posts3 participants0 posts today

#heise erklärt in diesem 23min-Video wirklich einfach, wie man einen billigen, alten #RaspberryPi-Rechner nutzt, um eine eigene #Cloud-Sychronisierung für Daten selbst zu bauen.

Der Use-Case hier ist ein #Foto-Backup vom #Smartphone.

Vielleicht genau das richtige Projekt, um mal mit Linux anzufangen? Das Video beinhaltet alle dafür notwendigen Schritte. 👍

@heise_ct Cool! Hab mal durchgeskippt, aber nichts zu einer tatsächlichen Backup-Lösung gesehen.

#Syncthing ist KEIN Backup! ⚠️ Muss man sonst auf die harte Tour lernen. Syncthing synchronisiert nur Ordner. Auch das Löschen von Dateien!

Auf dem :raspberrypi: #RaspberryPi muss dann noch sowas wie #borgBackup oder #restic oder :gitannex: #gitAnnex laufen, dann ist es eine super Lösung. 👍

KLAXXON! #SOURCE issue 2 is now available for download! In case you don't know what I am on about SOURCE is my attempt at an #opensource "pay what you feel" magazine. In this issue we look at #Godot, #Inkscape, #OpenStreetMap #Logseq #Termux and #Syncthing

There's a little more info and a direct to pdf link on my blog as well as links to Issue 1 which was a deep dive on Computational Fluid Dynamics with #FreeCAD.

A Self-hosted, BSD-native Gemini Protocol Server Stack

For those who are adventurous enough to explore the non-http corners of the Internet, the Gemini protocol is a delightful experience to use. It has been around a number of years, making the biggest bang around the time when discontent with the web’s general demise started to reach current heights (so maybe around 2022).

My “capsule”, Vigilia, is self-hosted, and has been since its inception. It used to run on a disused Macbook Pro running Fedora Server, under our TV at home, but since […]

@TheJnxx También lo uso para las saves de Retroarch... Pero lo ocupo mucho más: respaldar las fotos y videos del teléfono (para luego liberar memoria de ahí con facilidad), sincronizar mis notas y archivos esenciales sin pasar por nubes corporativas ni depender de un solo servidor, restaurar colecciones de libros y música rápidamente al renovar dispositivos... Para mí, #syncthing es uno de los pilares de mi vida digital.

@albertcardona @donald_brady Now #darktable just needs well-developed integration with #SmugMug.

If they can make a SmugMug plugin that works as well as #Adobe #LightroomClassic that would go a long way to being able to finally dump LR.

Still working out how darktable will handle portability of insanely large catalogs. I use #Syncthing to portably use LR catalogs that are more than 15GB with cached offline thumbnails and it just works.

Does darktable support cached thumbs for offline media?

How do you keep browser settings synchronized across multiple computers? I use #ZenBrowser (based on #Firefox) but if you have something good for different browsers, please do tell.

I use the built-in Sync feature to synchronize bookmarks, history and so on, but I want something more. All of my about:config, themes, toolbar layouts, and everything.

I was thinking about some #Ansible module, or about starting to use #Nix just for my browser, or maybe #syncthing .

Please share your experiences.

@AlexisAlzate mudaste de instancia que no te sigo?

Se entiende. Existen alternativas como #Syncthing que hace copias en redes locales.

Aunque nunca esta de mas tener un lugar que sea accesible en cualquier lugar o dispositivo.

Por ejemplo si pierdes o te roban el móvil.

I'm working hard this week on #SOURCE issue two, an experimental quarterly "pay as you feel" magazine about #opensource. As a sneak peak we'll be looking at getting started with #godot, using #logseq and #syncthing for a 2nd brain system, simple ways to contribute to #openstreetmap and the #termux application for android! Should be out in Aug (or earlier!). Issue one was an experimental issue looking at Computational Fluid Dynamics with #FreeCAD DL here.. concretedog.blogspot.com/2025/
Boosts welcome!

Samsung, I do not recall consenting to you having a copy of every photo I took with my phone. This picture has long since been moved off of my device and onto other storage (thanks #SyncThing), and yet, here it is on my phone again.

I even thought I had disabled the default gallery app entirely, in favour of Fossify Gallery. But still your own app is running and sending me notifications --- of my late family dog, no less.

Fucking gross. Ew.

The #android application of #syncthing has stopped development. A fork called syncthing-fork exists and tells people to export their configuration and import it into the #fork. However The backup mechanism has been changed in the past releases. The original application exports files in a directory and the fork expects a zip-archive. So either you use version 1.28.x from syncthing-fork from github. Or you setup the application by hand. This is not ideal for people who are not that computer savy.

Android: #Obtanium (instead of #FDroid app) is really awesome for managing app updates.

However, this method has an issue when the naming schema of the #apk files change on the server side, and you're using a name filter to determine the matching release file. You don't get updates anymore and you don't realize it. 🤷

Be alert.

Today, I've got a very nasty upgrade issue with #SyncthingFork since they also decided to change the naming schema, the backup file format and had a direct upgrade issue. Bad combination.

@roteiro I run #syncthing to coordinate my ~/Documents directory amongst my laptops. I run an additional instance in a FreeBSD jail. That "server" (actually peer-to-peer) is an always-on instance so no matter which laptop I'm using, the updates get sync'd to there.

When I swap to a different laptop, it gets the update.
