The Syncthing Foundation

You can find plenty of reference to that on Mastodon as well.

The last one is Syncthing.

This is a peer-to-peer file synchronization tool.

Use it to keep files in sync across your own devices or collaborate with people you trust.

There are no accounts, and your data stays private.

There's no central repository unlike cloud storage, meaning you can share as much data as you can fit on any device.

Syncthing tries to establish direct peer-to-peer connections when possible, but the discovery servers and network of global relay servers mean your data will always travel from point A to B regardless of your current network conditions.

Syncthing can be controlled by a web interface which is very blind friendly.

Yeah, because it was like a MP3 file I downloaded.

And because I download it with like Firefox, It got some sort of metadata attached to it that it was unsafe, and then SyncThing, I guess, can detect that and respected it and didn't sync it.

I mean, like such an edge case.

I don't know.

I've never even had that happen before.

What kind of sketchy MP3s are you downloading? I don't think I want to know.

I think you're really going to like SyncThing, even if you don't lean into the API stuff, because that would have happened to any.

But I've been so happy with it.

Synthing for file sync.

There's a commenter on Hacker News running a 2014 Asus X55L with the battery pulled doing Jellyfin, Audiobookshelf, Teamspeak, IRCbots, Nginx, and Syncthing.

His report is that it sits under 10% CPU and about 25% RAM unless he's streaming and transcoding.

So a 12-year-old laptop is idling, which tells you the hardware was never the bottleneck.
