I hear ya. I know all this stuff, but dammit if it isn’t hard to access sometimes! Haha

ST started as a Linux app, does QNap support things like docker yet? (Been a while since I looked at them).

RS is a great tool - I wouldn’t switch if it works for you.

It kills performance on my desktop because it keeps the index in ram for my media folder (10k files?). It’s even worse on a phone. But I still say it’s a great app, just with a slightly different use-case than ST. It’s especially nice for it’s On-demand sync.

I’m currently building a new file server, and RS will be included there, even with the performance issues for our phones. On-demand sync is hard to beat.

VB is awful.

And I use it every day.

It’s like a first-try at a hypervisor. Terrible UI, with machine config scattered around. Some stuff can only be done on the command line after you search the web for how to do it (like basic stuff, say run headless by default). Enigmatic error messages.

Also, you want SyncTrayzor for Windows - it installs Syncthing and gives you a tray tool to manage it.

Resilio is really good, though I generally prefer Syncthing.

Resilio is hard on memory with larger folders.

Works fine on windows, I keep many phones and desktops /laptops syncing with about 100gb of data.

“local only”

Even if it’s technically local-only, pretty easy for a tech to drive by and pull data it’s stored.

Or when it gets filled.

Twisted pair refers to the twisting of the wires in the cable to reduce crosstalk.

Crossover cables enable permit connecting two non-sensing ports together.

That would be a single DB, no?

If you sync between 2 things, one of those things has to act as the server component, which holds the database, with other things syncing to that database. Otherwise who connects to who?

If you want separate databases, that implies multiple instances, which is something different.

No explanation in the post makes it look like spam/click bait.

Downvote it is.

Sorry, not sorry.

And even if it isn’t technically spam, it acts like spam in that it reduces the quality of the community by adding noise with no information, no context. Just one more thing to scroll past.

Then you double down by calling us ‘haters’.

Fine - I’m a hater. I hate low-value garbage posts like this.

Frankly, screw you and your name calling.

You can enable Funnel on Tailscale to give your family access

Just glanced at your wiki, nicely done! Bookmarked to read later, though it looks like stuff I know. Always good to get another perspective.

Really appreciate and agree with your sentiment about doing such things because you want to contribute to the community and not a “side hustle”/monetization.

How does UnRAID Compare to TrueNAS Core (which is free, and backed by what seems to be a much bigger/more commercial organization)?

I used UnRAID years ago, but didn’t like booting from a USB drive - it was problematic and made me nervous.

Oh, neat. I was unfamiliar with PoW. Thanks!

PoW…Prisoner of war?

I send thousands of SMS per month with a cost of zero. Even international.

It’s all included in my $40/mo plan.

I’ve used Quick Search since 2013. Simple, configurable.

Back then I had it tied to the search button (which no longer exists ☹️)

And you still haven’t answered the question.

Define safely. We really can’t help until we known what you’re trying to do

Define “safely”. That means different things to different people.

Telegram has their secure chat, which is fully E2E.

Syncthing can do send only. It’s pretty configurable.

But I’d probably use a cloud storage like storj.io, and tools like duplicati.
