  • Status of syncthing-fork on Android?

    Jump

  • I seem to remember that F-Droid halted the updates while the confusion was at a maximum - that it is "back to normal" is perhaps somewhat of a sign that things have sorted themselves? Catfriend1 is also making contributions to the repository, but I guess there's no guarantee that it's really the same person?

  • Status of syncthing-fork on Android?

  • Thanks for the recommendation. I see that the developer of BasicSync has also createed pull requests in researchxxl's repository which I guess would not happen if there was a general distrust among those who are close to the development.

  • Ha, thank you. The themeing is not at all my complaint with these tools, but I appreciate the tip! I look forward to seeing what freecad produces, it has a lot of potential but alas, not a lot of funding to make sure the devs can afford to eat.

    Well, then we need to keep donating to keep bread on their tables! :) I have no prior experience with any CAD-tools, so I guess I won't notice the shortfalls of FreeCAD UX in the same way as other people who have more extensive experience with CAD in general and other tools specifically. I also don't have very demanding needs of functionality, as most of what I draw are fairly simple structures for FDM-printing, and FreeCAD has been excellent for that. I would love for FreeCAD to get the point of being viable in a professional setting - do you know of any good write-ups that details what is still missing for FreeCAD to fill that space?

    Last I played around with them the blender cad plugins all use poly modeling, which puts them out of the running for anything more complex than FDM parts. Primarily they exist to either support 3D printing or for simulation/animation of simplified parts. They’re… better than nothing, for sure, but unless you need something specifically given by blender you’d be much better served by just using freecad.

    Alright, I thought perhaps they were designed to give an alternative workflow to drawing in CAD for people who are more familiar with or simply prefer Blender. I have tried to make some parts in vanilla Blender, and control of dimensions is horrid, but otherwise I do prefer to work with geometry in Blender over a CAD-workflow. But I can see that if you are doing serious CAD-work, that's not going to cut it.

  • and while freecad has improved massively it’s still a very similar UX to Sketchup circa 2009 :(

    I started using OpenDark theme, which I found to look more modern. Also, I believe FreeCAD has some very specific UI-work currently funded (details here), so you should definitely keep your eyes open for progress on this front going forward :)

    ETA: Oh, and Blender does have some CAD-plugins - I never tried them myself, but they are supposed to make designing functional components less dreadful in Blender

  • Among other reasons, a well-established, decentralized mesh network builds community resilience that can be very useful in emergencies where centralized infrastructure is compromised.

  • rsync - same application version, but different protocol versions?

    Jump

  • Most likely something on that channel is spamming multicast. That kills most consumer wifi routers (in default settings). Usually something like a sonos or Google home broadcast group.

    I might (i.e. I definitely do) have a non-ideal setup at home that contributes to this, with the router/WPA, a RPi running HA with a Zigbee antenna just next to it, my server in the shelf next over and a Sonos above it. Worst of all, the server is running on WiFi and it is sat in immediate vicinity to my router. Why? Because I could not for the life of me make the ethernet transfer speeds be more than somewhere around 1-5 MiB/s, so I gave up. But considering these issues are so infrequent from this location I assume it is mostly due to outside interference.

    And adding to that, ....

    Use an app like PingTools (Android) that can graph what is on each wifi channel. Check to find the cleanest channels in your area and configure your router to use that channel.

    ... this scan shows that all discovered networks are occupying the same channels (98-114 it looks like). I have still not figured out what OpenWRT option to go for (the OpenWRT One, which I had originally planned, quickly became very expensive with imports and tolls that I ended up not buying, despite having decided to go for it). So I am using the stock ISP router, which I assume everyone else in my building are as well. And I have been unable to locate an option to change channels in its interface.

    If you’re curious and technically-minded, I highly recommend this write up: https://www.wiisfi.com/

    That is a resource I didn't know I needed! Thanks :)

  • rsync - same application version, but different protocol versions?

  • Ah, that would make sense. I think my immediate neighbors are home, but about half of my building should be traveling for Easter (judging by the empty parking garage at least).

  • rsync - same application version, but different protocol versions?

    Jump

  • I use this:

     shell
        
rsync -rah --progress /path/on/source/ user@ip.of.local.server:/path/on/destination

    I will try the ping next time I attempt this. There doesn't seem to be a definite time when the issues start though. It tries to copy the file over, and when it is done it continues to the next. If the first one didn't succeed, it will retry and if that also fails, it will say "ERROR verification failed - discarding update" (paraphrased) and continue to retry the next file if that also failed.

    I do see some fluctuations in the transfer speeds during transfer, which could indicate the times the connection is struggling.

  • rsync - same application version, but different protocol versions?

    Jump

  • Makes sense that it would be able to, especially considering the flag that allows you to force an older version as the sender. Still find it strange that on equal version numbers they default to different protocol numbers. I would have at least thought there was an easy way to tell it which protocol version to use by default, but I have at least not been able to find out how.

    Jump

  • ETA: Well, I toured the Calibre-Web settings again, and now I can upload books and covers. Must have been a little tired on my first attempt. Still couldn't get the conversion to work properly - I only have the option of going from EPUB -> KEPUB (whatever that is). I typically prefer reading PDF on my current reader, and I have users who need .azw3 for their jailbroken Kindle device. I guess the paths to the conversion tools aren't properly configured.

    ETA2: Now I got the conversion to work as well. Seems like I will be able to use it with Calibre-Web only as well. Nice!

    Hm, I'm using lscr.io/linuxserver/calibre-web:latest, which is version 0.6.26 (5a1f3d8eec42d03228b1e5dec9bc750ca10bbc94 - 2026-02-06T20:40:07+01:00). Looked again to see if I could find a way to do it, but no.

    How do you upload books directly using Calibre-Web? And do you not have Calibre running behind at all, just the original database?

    An other shortcoming of Calibre-Web seems to be that I am unable to convert books from the UI (that is thankfully very easy to do in Calibre). I added some Docker mods that I thought would allow me to do this, but I have at least not found a way.

    Nice to know it works with Kobo - I don't have one, but if my current reader stops working I am likely to get one of those.

  • How important is a DE to you?

    Jump

  • It is important. But I find the ones I have tried good, and would survive if I had to use either of them. I use KDE Plasma on my main personal laptop, I have Cinnamon running on a living room computer connected to my TV (not an ideal solution, but I've so far not taken the time to optimize the setup) and GNOME om my work laptop. I much prefer KDE Plasma out of them, but I like the others also.
