Are you going to pay for retraining 30,000 employees?

Or to make all your software work on Linux?

Autocad?

It definitely gets better once it’s all caught up.

But it’s still much harder on battery than ST when folders have changes.

It’s kind of not Foldersync’s fault, it’s really because of the protocols - it’s all connection-based, and FS has to compare each file at sync time.

Syncthing keeps an index so it knows what files have changed. Very different tools with different use-cases and approaches.

I used FS for years until I found ST, and had to do a lot more tweaking to get sync to work the way I wanted with FS. FS doesn’t have sync conditions like ST, so I had to use Macrodroid to trigger it when on WiFi, for example.

FS can be a solution, it’s just a lot more work for anything beyond basics.

It’s stupid easy to setup, even has a built-in photo backup job.

I use Syncthing-Fork because it moves all the sync conditions into each job.

So my photos sync regardless of charging state or network (I’m willing to pay for the data to ensure photos are instantly synced). While other things only sync while on WiFi and charging (e.g. Neobackup).

Only one I can think of is Resilio, but it’s hard on RAM and battery for large folders.

That takes a lot more effort.

With Syncthing, I don’t have to setup a server, poke holes in my firewall/expose ports, etc.

Plus Foldersync is way harder on battery, I’ve experimented a lot.

And I’ve used Foldersync since at least 2010 - it’s great, really has it’s uses.

Maybe I’m misremembering, but I thought they used Syncthing as part of a business not directly related to Möbius - as a vendor supplying data management solutions to other companies. I suspect Möbius came out of need for their clients.

I can picture the vendor website in my head, just wish I could remember who it was for sure.

I would eagerly pay for syncthing, it’s that important to me. I keep hundreds of gigs moving around using it. It’s on my annual donate list already, but clearly that’s insufficient.

Maybe the Syncthing-Fork dev will keep it going.

iOS is already more restricted on app sandboxes, and Möbius can handle it in the paid version.

On Android, Resilio somehow has more file access than Syncthing, even without root (it can read/write to either SD card root, while Syncthing can only write to a subfolder of SD0, and can’t write anywhere of an external SD). So there’s something going on.

I can only hope the company makes the iOS client (Möbius) decides they need syncthing to continue and decide to get behind it.

As I recall, they use Syncthing as a solution in their business, this would be a big-break for them.

And yet Resilio can access a lot more than ST, even without root.

It can do sync jobs in a very similar way as syncthing.

But I find Resilio to use more RAM because it stores the file DB in RAM. This kills a phone, but isn’t a big issue for a desktop.

Hahaha, right,right.

Making something usable by more people is “severely inconveniencing” someone. 🤦‍♂️

The UI shitshow today is unbelievable. Low contrast being the “cool” thing. I have great Vision and find it frustrating - I can only imagine what it’s like for people with vision issues.

Phones in 1998/99 had BT, well before smart phones.

Your fine with people violating your trust? Because that’s what you’re advocating.

If people are going to show they’re willing to scam the company and steal from it, why would you keep them around.

Sorry, I would have a zero tolerance policy on theft. I’ve seen it first hand in a small business and in a massive retailer, not cool.

It’s for food.

It’s the rules for receiving the funds. Don’t like it, don’t accept the funds.

Sorry, trying to scam your employer isn’t smart. Food vouchers, not couch vouchers.

This would be payload capacity, not towing.

But it’s pretty awesome use of a Roomba!

Take a look at some stats sometime, nothing comes even close to nuclear safety by KWH produced.

There’s far more involved in solar than just solar panels.

And yet by KWH produced it’s the safest by a large margin (safer than solar and wind), and that includes Chernobyl happening, arguably pretty close to “worst case”.

Potential is meaningless. Real-world experience has demonstrated it.

But it’s not standard.

What made PCs take off was the BIOS war, which occurred because manufacturers were dependent on 3rd party OS’s, which were still competing for dominance.

Sigh.

Palm was brilliant in so many ways. My Treo keyboard was the best. How I hate on-screen keyboards.
