you might need to provide more context, what do you mean by mythology?

they don’t have similar features, do they?
rsync

in a way, while syncthing is a full UI that allows you to connect devices and share folders between them without a third party server; the comparison class to syncthing are cloud sync apps like dropbox or Google Drive, not a command-line tool likersync
. - Comment on Repairing Broken Sofa? 5 weeks ago:
What do you already have on hand? What tools and materials?
If you had a cinderblock, log, car-jack, or other heavy / sturdy item, you could use that to rest the sofa on temporarily while you work on it. Since it’s a sofa, you could even just tip the sofa on one of its sides (if there is room). Even a stack of books could work, assuming nobody sits on the sofa or uses it (which is a good idea while it’s being repaired). Either way, you probably don’t need to buy something to rest the sofa on.
In terms of re-attaching the leg to the sofa, it depends on what you are working with, whether there is a way to screw something into the leg. Imagining a wooden leg, I could imagine drilling a hole into the leg and into the sofa, then driving a wooden dowel into the leg and putting wood glue into the hole and around the dowel and then softly tapping the leg into the hole you made into the sofa - the dowel going in the hole, I mean. Sometimes screws can be driven in at angles, or you can make or use brackets that screw into both.
