Thank for giving us all a fun break from reading about serious issues!

Good luck with the move. One thing I always like about traveling is that it reminds me there are lots of good people to meet.

With 4-dimensional forceps they could remove/replace him without detection at any time and so they could work in shifts. I can't help with the rest.

"Discreetly".

I do not think it means what you think it means.

What purpose did the blue man serve? Just repeat what he could indistinctly hear?

Is there some tiny blue man union preventing him from being replaced with just the radio?

This is disappointing, especially that Tile worked better than the other Android options. I was hoping that the new trackers would be a better option.

I've used Tile and they're okay, but occasionally buggy. I once deliberately left a Tile in another country and it would usually show the correct location, but occasionally report it as found near me. Support were in denial, claiming that I must have brought it with me, as if it could somehow go across the Atlantic and back by itself.

I do think that checking baggage is a poor test case though. The bags are probably far from any person's phone when begin transported.

I also wonder why they needed 4 phones to test. Wouldn't Tile and the pebblebe/chilplo trackers also work on the Samsung?

I still have checkbooks with the 19__ prefix printed to make it easier to write the year!

I'd call him out on "Super-count" even being a thing.

It could be like the "Knight Boat" parody of Knight Rider from the Simpsons: "Oh look, there's a canal."

Best phone sync (self.selfhosted)

Edit: Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm going to try sticking with syncthing and try the fork of the UI and see if that keeps everything working.

I want to sync files between my linux PC and Android phones (mostly for Obsidian notes).

Can anyone recommend a good real-time sync?

I've been trying syncthing, but despite turning off battery optimization for the app, it rarely sees the phone as connected. I don't want to have to remember to check syncthing every time I edit a note.

I use resilio for syncing between PCs but it looks like it has a high battery usage on the phone, as if it is frequently polling for changes.

I use FolderSync for occasional scheduled syncs (e.g. updating my MP3s from the server to my phone), but a scheduled sync either is frequent enough to affect battery or it risks sync conflicts.

Cloud services such as OneDrive, Dropbox and Google Drive don't show up as big battery drains, so I assume that they use change notifications from the OS instead.

Are there any real-time 2-way sync apps for phone that don't have big battery drain and are not for cloud providers?

 

I grew up knowing a fishcake as being fish sandwiched between two slices of potato covered in batter.

But when I ventured out into the wider world beyond Sheffield, fishcakes were strange breaded minced-up fish things.

Was my whole childhood a lie?
