It's not that, it's actually because of the best and most reasonable of reasons: the maintainers and core committers don't use / aren't interested in iOS. They aren't opposed to it, and they give advice and hel

Yes, of course, but shouldn't the backup part be unrelated to the syncing part? There are many ways to do it, but in my case, I back up my main "on 24/7" workstation (which has all my sync'd folders, whereas my lapt

Yeah, I think I've realized just because me and most of my friends do it, and my family all does it (and of course they do because I give all of them a new iMac for Christmas every 5 years or so and set it up for them), probably not as

Hey, awesome, dude! Been looking for something just like this, and will definitely try it. The only thing that bugs me about my Syncthing setup is that it's annoying to find a file in one of my sync'd folders from my phone (which

There's some famous HN quote when Dropbox launched about how it would could be implemented "quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs and blah blah blah..." Actually back then Dropbox was p

Yes, basically any $5/month VPS works great for Syncthing. The only thing I still do use Dropbox for is the share-with-whoever functionality, too. I'd be curious to hear about alternatives for that as well. (To me it seems pretty

Hmm, I never thought of that as the main point of Dropbox; I always understood the main point was syncing files between your different machines, e.g. desktop at home and laptop, or home and work, etc. For dead-easy "regular person&quot

Right, that's what made me think that my (now years old) understanding of how Dropbox handles symlinks may not be true anymore. But I don't have two machines with Dropbox at the moment to test for sure. Does it now just sync the s

Yeah, you are right. But if you do have one computer you can leave on all the time, then I think it is.

Dropbox is still OK for easily sharing files with other, especially movies and stuff that its sharing web UI supports. But in 2019 it is basically an inferior and antiquated tool for syncing your own files. I moved to the open-source SyncTh

We are using JIRA's cloud offering and it's the slowest application I use. It's slow enough that I don't care about any of the other (pretty glaring) UX flaws. It often takes more than 2000ms to switch views (e.g. just t

Oh, it's good to hear that feature is coming in 3.7! That's something I really miss on a regular basis. Where did you learn it's scheduled for 3.7?

My own understanding is that a few persons have made comments or blog posts along the line of, "Look at this convoluted edge case I created of valid JavaScript that isn't valid TypesScript! Ha! Gotcha!" There may be some case

I'm all for more new and innovative languages, but I think the key thing about TypeScript is not that it compiles to JavaScript, but (to quote basarat's great free book[1]) that "TypeScript is just JavaScript with docs".

PM 2.5 is particulate matter (in the air) with diameter of less than 2.5 micrometers. I only know this because the Tokyo weather reports on TV include the PM 2.5 forecast for tomorrow as well (it seems to mostly blow over from China, althou

I wonder how many Dropbox users are like me. I still pay for it, for one reason only: all the stuff I have shared with a Dropbox link. I set up Syncthing, and it completely and flawlessly replaced the Dropbox folder syncing. (It's actu
