    Ooh.

    Thanks.

    I’ve been running the fork for a long time but somehow figured it was a soft-fork and maybe not really viable without upstream development from syncthing.

    Now @imsodin@infosec.pub 's comments are making a lot more sense.

    This whole thing is more or less a non-issue then?

      not quite
      Screenshot of Syncthing-fork’s github readme that says "About Play Store releases: Planning to close my Google Play Developer Account. Please say hi if you are interested in obtaining the latest gplay release files from me to help in publishing this app. "

        But that is the original Syncthing app @fine_sandy_bottom@lemmy.federate.cc was talking about the fork that is available in F-Droid

  Only one I can think of is Resilio, but it’s hard on RAM and battery for large folders.

    It’s been forever since I looked at resilio so this may be an unfair appraisal but… I seem to remember it’s one of those OSS projects that feels a lot more like free tier commercial software. Do you think that’s the case or nah?

    Honestly just a dumb rsync client would be enough for me.

    And I don‘t know what‘s going on with them. There weren’t any updates for years, now there is a design overhaul, no new features and suddenly they want me to register. Duck
