Seems there are 2 kinds - video links with almost no text, just farming visits, and video links with a wall of text.
Both suck. Videos, in general, suck.
So much of what goes on here needs text, lots of it. Video is slow and cumbersome.
And quickly realizing they could be used for more.
Jack of All Trades!

So, “green” energy is only cheaper if the government pays for it?
Not really a great argument.
Define share?
Keep all files in sync between two points?
Enable ad-hoc access to all files, or a subset?
Yep, on NT4 the instant the last key in CTRL-ALT-DEL went down the task manager came up.
XP and Win7 were still very good with it.
I think it went south when they removed the requirement for CTRL-ALT-DEL to login.
Yep.
Early 90’s laptops used transflective. They were a tad sluggish, but not terribly slow. I actually played DOS shooter games on one.
Doing it safely is pretty simple.
Install Tailscale at both ends. Done.
It’s a fully encrypted mesh VPN.
If you need access without the TS client on the other end, that takes a little more work. Then you need to enable the Funnel option.
Quite often (or maybe even most often), but there’s also the realities of simply having to choose a path knowing it will change in 2-5 years.
Thanks for the update
I’ve used Fork for so long I forget it’s a separate app
Thing is, even using this new app it’s still ST underneath, using their Discovery servers. That’s as big an issue as anything.
To your point, the developer of an iOS Syncthing client (Möbius) has financially support ST development for at least 3 years that I know of. I don’t know how much, but they use it for their own clients, so it’s important to them.
My only concern would be the Discovery servers.
I have no intent to upgrade from my current version (1.27.9) as it’s been fine for years now.
It works, does what I need. There was an update a few months ago, but it offers nothing I need, and would only cause me a ton of work and re-testing to ensure it works as it currently does.
Apps don’t need continuous updating if they work.
Or they just don’t care so long as it gets them the convenience they want - because they don’t understand what it means.
I have an ancient Drobo.
Believe it or not, it’s only sound is the fan, which I can’t hear even when it’s on.
SSD will still generate heat, so will need a fan.
Excel tables.
No Linux/OSS app can do this (and will likely never). Open Office devs have outright declared they won’t.
Or the automated process that export/import data via excel.
Let’s see you rebuild all those things, without man hours or errors. Costly errors.
Whenever someone gets on a “just switch” campaign (whether it’s something like Linux or Metric), I know they’ve never had to work on a migration project and seen the challenges, difficulties, and risk.
I use Linux for servers, but I’ll be damned if I’m gonna spend time converting my workstation - there’s zero value in it for me when I have decades of tools and process. The value proposition just isn’t there.
Don’t go taking down a fence until you fully understand what it’s for.
I was about to post the same. It was a funny episode.
The problem is they are almost never good, as everyone can read the same info 4x faster than someone can present it (best case), and 10x faster isn’t unusual.
