Hey folks! I know a while back there was a kerfuffle because syncthing-fork for Android went dark, and then a new person showed up and claimed everything was cool and they’d been privately given the keys or something, and people were concerned. I pinned my fdroid version to the at-that-time-current release until we got clarity.
Well, it’s been a while and I just noticed I’m still on that old release. So… how’d it turn out? Do we like the new person yet? Is there a promising fork y’all are using? Or is the project dead? I’m sure I could just go look at the repo, but I’m also sure the repo would tell me “yeah, we’re all cool” no matter what, so I’m curious what the community feelings are. Have there even been any useful new releases since then?
Thanks!
I think I once used it to retrieve a file that I had accidentally deleted, but I don’t remember the specifics. I need to dig into it more.
Ah, ok. The problem I’m referring to is that if one file gets corrupted, syncthing will interpret that as a change and then duplicate the corruption across all devices. A good backup service will also interpret it as a change and keep both to allow rollbacks.
Right, that… I have no idea of how the /r/syncthing crowd does it, but we could certainly ask…
