Taking my new (to me) ThinkPad 450 out for its first stroll. Using it while waiting for the car to be serviced. #linuxmint, #firefox, #emacs, all working like a charm. Keyboard and touchpad are almost perfect, battery life is super long. Screen is a little dim but hey. For under $100US I'm not complaining. This is exactly why I got it and set it up with linux, etc. Oh, also doing some journaling with #orgmode and it seems to be syncing to my home computer with #syncthing. Just about perfect!
After listening to @amolith on the @linuxlads I am giving #Logseq a decent go again: I'll try it for 2 weeks and see where I end up. I wrote in my Bullet Journal once this month, so I can't be worse than that. I am using my #Obsidian folder already set up with #Syncthing between devices, and it seems fine with that.
Obsidian lasted... not long, but I think I was trying to be too rigid with it. So I'll try not to be so much this time.
I have not said it in a while, so I have to say it again:
#Syncthing is a wonderful piece of software. Even with only local connections and all the automatic finding things disabled it works like a charm and I can keep a family's count of devices in sync, get local backups from phones, send MP3 files across devices and sync password manager files that I do not want to see in the cloud.
Installed #syncthing on my 2 linux machines last night. Seems to be working so far, though I haven't yet figured out exactly how it all works -- what syncs with what, how often, etc. But they can see each other and share.
Next is trying to get it going on my Win10 machine. For some reason, that makes me nervous! But if I can get all 3 synced, and #emacs working on all of them, I'll be pretty jazzed.
Was möchte man denn für Notizen verwenden, wenn man diese auf #Linux, #Android oder #Windows erstellen und bearbeiten möchte. Verteilt auf verschiedene Geräte sollen diese über #Syncthing werden.
Meet our new #NAS. #Zimablade#SBC arrived. Wired it up to two 4TB hard drives. 5400rpm, for quietness and reliability. Installed Cockpit to pair them up in RAID1, and left rsync copying our media onto here overnight. Next up, a #Jellyfin media server will access media from here, and try #Syncthing as a Dropbox replacement...
I remember how nervous I was when (in early 2020) I went to the post office with my #Librem5 📱 to drop off a 📦 and present the barcode on the phone. (Having previously scp'ed the pdf to the phone to show it in evince).
Would the 🔋 last? Would it overheat? Would the display stack hold? It worked.
Nowadays I don't spend a thought: Fill in the data on my laptop, save the pdf, have it synced automatically via #syncthing to #phosh's ticket-box folder and show it at the counter. ✅
Looking forward to setting up my used #thinkpad with #linuxmint next week. Looking for recos for easy syncing, mainly for my #emacs and #orgmode stuff. What have you used that you could recommend? I do have GDrive working well on my Windows machines, so could go that route,, though not familiar with how to do that on linux. Thanks!
@publicvoit could you explain in some detail (or point to a good detailed write-up) about how exactly this works for you? setting #syncthing between two local machines is relatively strightforward, but you mention multiple machines with at least one server; is the server your cetral storage? what exactly do you expose to the internet to be able do sync from outside your lan? etc., etc.
i'm with #owncloud, but looking for a simpler setup.
People love recommending and raving about #Syncthing - it's a really cool project but honestly despite thinking hard about it, I still have not found any use for it (which is a lil frustrating ngl). I think the issue is I'm already used to syncing stuffs through #Git anyway lol and I kinda prefer it since it's a lil more "explicit" or intentional + you could add notes/context to the commit if needed.
I wish the #Odysee sync was faster, but it is what it is eh…
I just got a notification from @ordinarygamers from my discord server I setup (it’s kind of a mess ngl) and I normally watch his content on Odysee, just wish it was faster although I believe it takes time as per API requests. Takes time to upload to the LBRY network I believe… @lemmy#syncthing#videohosting#Cryptocurrency#lbry#BlockChain#YouTube
#weekend Magazin Steiermark mit einem Artikel zu digitalem Frühjahrsputz.
An sich gute Vorschläge paaren sich mit einer Empfehlung, die #Passwörter in der #Cloud zu speichern. 🤦🖕
Leute, es gibt super #Passwortmanager mit lokaler Datenhaltung wie #KeePassXC, die ihr beispielsweise mit #Syncthing selbst zwischen euren Geräten synchronisieren könnt. 👍
me: okay, setting up #Syncthing with 10+ folders on multiple machines that all sync a slightly different set of folders, or use different paths for some of them, is somewhat of a hassle … let me just write a small tool real quick that I can give a YAML definition of my whole "fleet" of machines and that can generate each machine's config based on that
also me, 2 hours later: [learns that this isn't something to do "real quick"]
I will no longer sync my music library to my phone. I don't listen to it there, and I have real backups. It's hard on syncthing to watch a huge pile of files, especially if I switch back to OpenBSD where there are no recursive file watches.
I haven't had any problems with #syncthing on #OpenBSD except that I have to turn off auto-watching and set scanning intervals to something like 5 minutes.
Wie synchronisiere ich denn am Besten Medien meiner Geräte mit einem #Jellyfin Server welcher auf #Yunohost läuft?
Habs mit #Syncthing probiert, aber das kann nicht mal Ordner erstellen. Permission denied.
I started using #Syncthing again. I think the trick to keeping it will be not to take it too seriously. It's easy to set up and not too painful if it breaks.
