Thanks. I’m giving that a try!

Good to know. If I can get it working reliably, it will be worth sticking with. Someone suggested it might just not be auto-starting on reboots. I’m trying the fork of the UI on f-droid to see if it helps.
I have the phones connected, but the app just decides to disconnect and stay that way until I check it. I’ll give that fork a try, thanks!
I could live with a few minutes, but it’s showig as offline for days. Maybe it is failing after a reboot. At least that would be a known situation to watch for.
The only setting I see is “allow background usage”, which is on (I’m using it on a Pixel 7 and 8).
Well, it’s not versioning I need (I have an rsync backup that makes incremental copies). I need a 2-way sync that happens when files changes and doesn’t randomly stop working: I want to edit a note on my phone - it copies to the server. Edit on the server, it updates to the phone. Without having to manually run any separate syncs first. I only mention sync conflicts because right now, syncthing hadn’t updated with my phone for over 2 days, plenty of time for me to update a note elsewhere and then edit the same note on the phone.
Resilio does it, but it looks like it’s draining the battery. Syncthing doesn’t drain the battery much, but that’s because it has become inactive on two different phones for long periods of time repeatedly.
Cloud provider apps usually work instantly with little drain, they must trigger from OS notifications, but the apps that sync to local servers just don’t seem to work that way!
Git is a great solution just for versioning. After I messed up a big note file I had, I set up emacs to hook git into the save function. I just created a repo in that directory, then backed up the whole directory including .git, so the versioning was there with the backup. No need to even use a separate repo, git just gave me a version history for the local files.
Thanks, but I really need a seamless automatic sync. I think that’s a manually-triggered file send?
Do you use it on a phone too? I did find it tricky to set up (more options than I really need, and the phone app settings don’t really work unless you select “Web UI”, which is really strange), but I didn’t mind the setup if I could then leave it alone and it works. Ideally I want to set this up on other family phones, so I can update notes and they appear everywhere.
I’d like to use resilio, I even bought a license to support it as I use it for all my pc syncing. But it’s currently showing 41% battery use for today on my phone for 2 minutes screen time 11.5 hours background. Lenny Voyager shows 7% for 1.5 hour screen time. So something is not good with the phone app. Maybe the Android battery info display is misleading somehow (it confuses me because it shows a percentage of the time-interval you’re viewing, not a percentage of the total battery drain(.
Interesting, I’d not heard of that. But does it auto-sync files? It mentions the clipboard, sharing links and browsing remote directories, but I don’t see a file sync mentioned.
British fish fingers are usually mind-blowingly tasty compared to American fish-sticks. That might explain some of the disagreement.
I don’t iron my t-shirts, so I’m not going to start ironing my phone.
Loss Of Pulse Detection will probably work like this:
“Your pulse has stopped. Google Assistant is attempting to call the emergency services. But first you’ll have to unlock your device.” … “Here are some results I found on the web.”
I always go for sprung hinges with Zenni. I’ve never need to tighten the screws with those.
Used them for years with no issue and get lots of pairs for distance, reading, daytime driving (polarized sunglasses bifocals so no glare and I can see the instruments), etc.
I told you to remember where you parked it.
Maybe so. But it did process duplicity backups every week for hundreds of Gb, so it did a fair amount of work even though not constantly active.
FWIW, I ran a Pi 2 with external (self-powered) USB drive for about 8 years as my main backup without issue (except that it was slow). I’ve just replaced it with a Pi 5 and TerraPi frame holding an SSD.

I’m trying the fork now, thanks. So far, it’s behaving. Thanks for the pointer to the logs, I’ll take a look if it happens again.
