Web browser? "app". Web page? "app". Dialog box? "app". Phone app that's just a thin shell for the web site? "appapp".

I think I heard "applet" being mentioned for embedded java or something in the early 2000s. I don't know if that's connected.

I had to verify my identity with a UK government app recently, and the app scanned my passport's RFID!

I sometimes imagine some introvert developer at Zoom getting a monkey's paw: "I wish I worked at one of the most well-known companies in the world, and I wish I didn't have to keep going out and meeting people!"

Where'd this come from?

Fun tip: if you’ve sorted the details list by cpu and the keep dancing around, hold down Ctrl to stop them from getting away while you kill them.

Well storing that would only take half a bit.

I have a text file of UK place names, so I can search it for various sub-strings.

"Ullit", "ullet", "ulit", "ulet", the only result for those was Fullerby.

Maybe this is like a copyright trap on a map, a fake place name to prove if someone copies the book :)

I use rsync.net

It's not the lowest price, but I like the flexibility of access.

For instance, I was able to run rclone on their servers to do a direct copy from OneDrive to rsync.net, 400Gb without having to go through my connection.

I can mount backups with sshfs if I want to, including the daily zfs snapshots.

I've seen videos of how to fry an egg on a CPU. Meeting you can do bacon on a GPU?

Best phone sync (lemmy.world)

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?
