  • syncspirit v0.4.5 release!

  • Well, yep. For now the positive differences are

    • better speed transfers (up to x7 speed up on my setup).
    • different UI (including unique features like see in realtime tree-like structure of remote/local folders).
    • Windows XP support
    • it targeted for long-awaited "selective sync" mega-feature (asked for many years by syncthing users; but it is out of scope of syncthing business, so, it will unlikely be developed). I plan to do it after 1-2 releases (after implementing "ignoring local files" feature).

  • Basic Sync (Syncthing client) is now available on F-Droid

  • As far as I know that's because the "universal" binary is shipped with multiple platforms supported.

  • Gentoo Releases Experimental Images Using GNU/Hurd

  • Did somebody actually tried it? On real hardware? How it is?

  • Are you using systemd or an alternative, what do you recommend?

  • Dinit for desktop, s6 for server.

    What is wrong with s6 for desktop?

  • VirtualBox upstream now supports KVM as a (still experimental) backend on Linux.

    Jump

  • does it mean, that it will be possible to launch native (arm/arm64) raspberry-pi distro on virtual box?

  • do LLMs destroy open source?

    Jump

  • shit like “left-pad” and other low hanging packages shouldn’t exist.

    Thanks to AI there will the thousands of left-pad like projects

  • syncsyncspirit v0.4.4 release!

  • Adroid-UI is lower priority, probably will be done after finishing core features and implementing them in desktop.

    Also, google seems moving towards making android ecosystem more and more close; this might be a problem.

    However, if there are somebody willing to contribute with Android, then I help, of course.

  • No, there is no AI-generated code.

    There is a plan to have system-tray icon for fltk-frontend, and it is claude-generated prototype. Probably, I'll take some pieces of it for implementation.

  • Thank you for your question!

    There are some benefits, among them:

    • syncspirit is faster. According to my measurements it is able to sync linux sources tree folder for 2 mins vs 15 mins of syncing when using syncthing (that's over a localhost, of course)
    • syncspirit has a different UI. That's matter of personal taste, of course, but I like to see the exact picture what is synchronized and what is not.
    • syncspirit is able to run on more older software (i.e. from windows xp and up). Syncthing uses golang, and its software support is indirectly controlled by google (i.e. "artificial aging"); recent builds are running only on windows 10 and windows 11. Microsoft already dropped windows 10 support, so, I expect that in near future google will do the same.
    • the long-term goal of syncspirit is to allow "selective sync" feature, which unlikely to be implemented by syncthing.

  • Not yet (I'm a solo dev so it is quite hard to do multiple builds). Patches welcome! :)

  • syncspirit v0.4.1 release!

  • Somebody might find that behavior a bit making nervous if you don't see progress, that it is running or that it was synced a few mins ago...

    That's why for that "daemonic" behavior programs hide themself in system tray :)
