Found too yesterday on F-Droid. Absoutley glorious, even runs perfectly smooth on a almost 10 year old Galaxy S6 Edge.

Typical issue of the corportate programming world being a hivemind. Just because many big tech companies use it you can’t blindly implement it for your 5 developer team.

And it for sure has its usecases - like if you run something with constant load swings that does n’t need to be 100 percent accurate like Youtube it makes sense. You can have a service for searches, comments, transcoding, recommendations, … which all scale independently trading in some accuracy. Like when you post a comment another person doesn’t need to see it within 1 second on another comment service instance.

Really? From my experience the opposite is the case. I work on a smallish team with 3 other developers and we also have a few spring services with < 100 classes and we constantly run into issues where making changes to a bean causes issues in another unrelated part of the codebase. I can’t imagine what a nightmare it would be with a larger codebase and more devs working on it.

Is this even a joke? In Spring DI beans are nothing but glorified over complicated global variables.

Also this fits in here perfectly https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=k0qmkQGqpM8

I mean thats one of the big points of python and why you wanna use it in the first place.

I personally don’t main python but to me this all seems like a effort to retrofit the language for use in large enterprise and web applications, something for which it honestly never should have been used this heavily in the first place. I guess the state of the world 10 years ago let to it, with .NET not officially being multiplat, Java being Java and Rust, Kotlin and Go being in their infancy.

To me Python always was a cool language to write small scripts to automate certain things. Something a single developer writes with < 10K LoC. Where than you can achieve the same thing with way less code and less hastle like setting up a seperate build tool

If your gonna go heavy on typing and error handling but don’t want the complexity of a compiled language just use a .NET or JVM lang, honestly. They are fundamentally built around strong typing and use that information for much better performance and developer experience.

Or if you just want THE most flexible typesystem where you can specify types as broad or specific as possible typescript takes the cake.

Java is great, the way its (ab)used is terrible.

This was my exact setup for years. I had a J3455 NUC and increased its memory to 16GB and installed Proxmox. It worked really well.

Youtubers must be gushing to get their hands on these

I think both of these are fine. Certainly way better than most App icons on Android.

Same things make us laugh, make us cry.

Like it says in the book… We are both blessed and cursed.

You can connect to a vscode server on a Galaxy Watch, just sayin’

No

I don’t know if these are uncommon but I have a few cool usecases besides the regular 1:1 folder syncing, maybe someone else finds them useful.

Also you should know that the way I have all of this setup is that I have a container that hosts a bunch of SMB Network drives and a syncthing container that stores all of the fodlers on that drive. Having them also easily accessible through smb is great when I just wanna quickly copy something or back the folders up.

So here are some of my maybe unorthodoz usecases :

• Music - As a fan of offline music, I have it setup that music I acquire gets synced onto the server and re-encoded as opus through a script into a second folder which then through syncthing gets sent out my mobile devices. There I rather have smaller files than lossless quality. Said script also sorts the music into folders based on artist and album metadata.
• I also sync my Newpipe Subscriptions between phones (unfortunately by manually exporting my settings and re-importing them)

I also used to have a setup that would sync Minecraft Bedrock and Stardew Valley saves between devices (where Windows and Android saves are compatible) but Android 11 introduced a stupid restriction that prevents synching from accessing the the saves are located on Android.

ok that is wild! thanks!

Ok thanks, it then seems like some Software thing. Are your clock speeds also higher under linux when idle?

I got it working but curiously enough the server needed to add the clients as introducers. Then it worked and I got a message on all devices that a new folder has been added and showing a UI that easily allowed me to add the folder.

maybe, since its mostly XML files maybe I can make a script that scrambles the Device IDs for something new. But I was hoping for a built in solution.

I always added the “server” as an introducer but for some reason the server itsself gets a prompt to add all the folders from the client but the client doesn’t get a list of all the folders the server is sharing which is what I’m after. The introducer does however work by directly giving me a list of all the other devices the “server” has been connected to. I’m using syncthing version 1.20.1 on my server btw.
