KLAXXON! #SOURCE issue 2 is now available for download! In case you don't know what I am on about SOURCE is my attempt at an #opensource "pay what you feel" magazine. In this issue we look at #Godot, #Inkscape, #OpenStreetMap #Logseq #Termux and #Syncthing

There's a little more info and a direct to pdf link on my blog as well as links to Issue 1 which was a deep dive on Computational Fluid Dynamics with #FreeCAD.

⚠️ Important

Not only #Syncthing #Android got terminated (because of some Google stuff that only matters in the playstore, and dev burnout I guess)

Now #SyncthingFork has allegedly switched owners too.

Response from Catfriend1, former maintainer of Syncthing-Fork:

It seems like a voluntary handover, but could just as well be malicious.

The problem is, the code is free, anyone could step in and make a fork that is verified trusted. It looks like researchxxl is that person now.

Golem-Leser berichten über ihre Wege zu mehr digitaler #Souveränität.

Viele meiden US Dienste und setzen auf #Mastodon, #Threema, #Signal oder self gehostete Lösungen wie #Nextcloud. Der Umstieg gelingt oft, erfordert aber Zeit und passende #Alternativen.

Herausforderungen entstehen bei #Fotospeicher, #Backups und dem Zusammenspiel verschiedener #Apps. Andere nutzen Dienste wie #Mailboxorg und verwalten Daten mit Tools wie #KeePass oder #Syncthing.

Bueno al parecer #Syncthing en #android tuvo un problema para quienes etiquetan las carpetas sincronizadas con caracteres especiales, y un problema aun mas grave para quienes tienen sus carpetas con caracteres especiales.

https://github.com/researchxxl/syncthing-android/issues/136

En vez de mostrar el carácter unicode, mostraba el código de éste, una vez leído de esa forma queda guardado en la app, si es solo la etiqueta solo basta con actualizar a la última versión que corrigió eso (2.0.14.2) y renombrar las etiquetas.

Por otro lado, si tuviste la idea de usar emojis en los nombres de tus carpetas (lo hago para encontrarlas mas rápido), debes añadir de nuevo las carpetas, ya que la ruta queda guardada con la falla de la versión anterior y no las encuentra, ésto se hace mas fácil si después de actualizar tus móviles eliminas las carpetas de un dispositivo, y la añades con la notificación del otro dispositivo.
En fin, nada mas que hacer 🤣🤣🤣🤣

PD=A la hora que escribo ésto aun no estaba la versión nueva en fdroid, la descargué directo del github.

I'm not sure if there's a term that exists for what I'm doing in this age of technofeudalism. There probably is. But a term I use in my mind is "digital homesteading." And I'm surprised how many people seem actually interested. It's, of course, all about making it accessible to non tech people.

Are there syncthing alternatives out there?

I need to re-establish my Obsidian setup after getting a new phone. The lack of ongoing support for syncthing on Android is giving me pause.
