I’m trying the fork now, thanks. So far, it’s behaving. Thanks for the pointer to the logs, I’ll take a look if it happens again.

Thanks. I’m giving that a try!

Good to know. If I can get it working reliably, it will be worth sticking with. Someone suggested it might just not be auto-starting on reboots. I’m trying the fork of the UI on f-droid to see if it helps.

I have the phones connected, but the app just decides to disconnect and stay that way until I check it. I’ll give that fork a try, thanks!

I could live with a few minutes, but it’s showig as offline for days. Maybe it is failing after a reboot. At least that would be a known situation to watch for.

The only setting I see is “allow background usage”, which is on (I’m using it on a Pixel 7 and 8).

Well, it’s not versioning I need (I have an rsync backup that makes incremental copies). I need a 2-way sync that happens when files changes and doesn’t randomly stop working: I want to edit a note on my phone - it copies to the server. Edit on the server, it updates to the phone. Without having to manually run any separate syncs first. I only mention sync conflicts because right now, syncthing hadn’t updated with my phone for over 2 days, plenty of time for me to update a note elsewhere and then edit the same note on the phone.

Resilio does it, but it looks like it’s draining the battery. Syncthing doesn’t drain the battery much, but that’s because it has become inactive on two different phones for long periods of time repeatedly.

Cloud provider apps usually work instantly with little drain, they must trigger from OS notifications, but the apps that sync to local servers just don’t seem to work that way!

Git is a great solution just for versioning. After I messed up a big note file I had, I set up emacs to hook git into the save function. I just created a repo in that directory, then backed up the whole directory including .git, so the versioning was there with the backup. No need to even use a separate repo, git just gave me a version history for the local files.

Thanks, but I really need a seamless automatic sync. I think that’s a manually-triggered file send?

Do you use it on a phone too? I did find it tricky to set up (more options than I really need, and the phone app settings don’t really work unless you select “Web UI”, which is really strange), but I didn’t mind the setup if I could then leave it alone and it works. Ideally I want to set this up on other family phones, so I can update notes and they appear everywhere.

I’d like to use resilio, I even bought a license to support it as I use it for all my pc syncing. But it’s currently showing 41% battery use for today on my phone for 2 minutes screen time 11.5 hours background. Lenny Voyager shows 7% for 1.5 hour screen time. So something is not good with the phone app. Maybe the Android battery info display is misleading somehow (it confuses me because it shows a percentage of the time-interval you’re viewing, not a percentage of the total battery drain(.

Interesting, I’d not heard of that. But does it auto-sync files? It mentions the clipboard, sharing links and browsing remote directories, but I don’t see a file sync mentioned.

I use rsync.net, it’s not as cheap as some, but I like the simplicity of storage I can access with rsync, rclone, sshfs etc.

You can run some commands remotely too, so I used rclone to copy my OneDrive files directly from the cloud files to rsync.net. Not through my PC.

ETA: but not required.

I still have a directory of installers for “useful programs”. Some of them probably date back to the 90s and would need dosbox to run.

I bought a PC kit and it said “some assembly required” so I always try to link at least one asm file in my projects.

I always go for sprung hinges with Zenni. I’ve never need to tighten the screws with those.

Used them for years with no issue and get lots of pairs for distance, reading, daytime driving (polarized sunglasses bifocals so no glare and I can see the instruments), etc.

I thought that it became MANGA when it changed from FAANG?

It explains that it means “fan failure”.

And there was a link to a video of it happening.

The only other link to an MS support page did not work.
