PSA syncthing-fork has changed owners (lemmy.world)

Overview here

https://forum.syncthing.net/t/does-anyone-know-why-syncthing-fork-is-no-longer-available-on-github/25661/39

The new owner of the repo has a fresh github account and apparently has the signing keys from Catfriend1 too.

Time will tell if they are trustworthy, but for the extra paranoid it might make sense to pause updates for a while.

No.

In my case I was using syncthing to backup /storage on my phone and turns out there are faster ways to do that

My alternative:

Ente for photos
Borg via termux for the full /storage backup (including the photos)

Personally on Android for photos I use photosync as well as Immich

Syncthing in Termux apparently works to some extent. Another option might be Nextcloud? Will def try out some alternatives just in case.

I don't think so. Can KDE connect even sync files?

I don't know, I played with it years ago, didn't need it and haven't really touched it until now.

I use Syncthing for several things, especially syncing photos between my phone and desktop.

It can send files, but that's all. Also, kdeconnect doesn't work over the Internet
