the #Syncthing Android drama is exploding. https://github.com/researchxxl/syncthing-android/issues/16 @[email protected] 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. #SyncthingFork #SyncthingAndroid

    Yeah, I’ve considered setting up a scrappy rsync solution, because Syncthing felt like overkill for that use-case and like it might stop working one day.

    There’s the Syncopoli app on F-Droid, which hasn’t been updated in three years, but it seems to just be a thin wrapper around rsync, which has been stable for decades, so I still kind of trust it more to continue working. Or at the very least, if I need to fix something or update the app myself, I feel like I’ll be able to do it.
