@fdroidorg at this point is being used to push out an app with sensitive permissions that’s been taken over by an unknown individual who refuses to engage with its large community of users and developers.

I STRONGLY recommend disabling updates from Fdroid, if not uninstalling and manually installing 2.0.11.2, or installing the Google Play version which has a different maintainer.

this is extremely shady and it’s just looking worse as time goes on. I’ll link to the Syncthing forum thread from about where I left off last time in a subsequent post.

    I would recommend pausing updates or trying another solution.

    You can run syncthing in termux and autostart it with termux:boot, which seems to work pretty well.

    If you have the scripting skills you can also do more advanced stuff like using termux:api to run it when charging only.

      I guess I’ll pause updates for now. Not sure if I want to learn termux at the moment.
