Apple's APFS Migration: A Feat of Engineering
No smartphone these days gives you access at the mass storage level anymore (because it causes issues for concurrent access from the phone and computer, because there's often encryption etc.), so the underlying file system in this scenario is completely irrelevant and has no bearing on you being able to access the phone's data on Linux.
Android uses MTP or PTP (can't remember which) for that type of access, while iOS uses something proprietary, but there's a Linux implementation that worked reasonably well for me last time I had a Linux laptop: https://libimobiledevice.org/

Class action lawsuit over Apple's 5GB iCloud limit and iOS backup restrictions
It even supports WiFi, so you can have automatic backups every night while the phone is charging. Also the protocol has been reverse engineered, it’s possible to use a Linux server instead of having to use iTunes on windows or buying a Mac..

Show HN: iMessage-exporter, a full-featured CLI app and library
Maybe something like https://github.com/libimobiledevice/libimobiledevice? I'm not sure, I haven't tried to do this.

Communicate between app running on Mac and iPhone
Where would one begin to look stack wise? Ive looked into some C libraries and https://libimobiledevice.org is the only clue I’ve got.

[Discussion] Shutdown several iPhones at the same time
I already tried a non-jailbreak way of doing so by using libimobiledevice. Unfortunately, this library doesn't work via network, it can only shutdown devices with usb connection.

Unison File Synchronizer
If you look at the release notes you can see that some versions say they are protocol compatible with prior X.Y version release

Ask HN: Best modern file transfer/synchronization protocol?
I highly recommend Unison (https://github.com/bcpierce00/unison)
It allows you to sync between 2 machines (bi-directional) over TCP or SSH.
Note that TCP way is not encrypted, you may use wireguard as transport layer encryption for that purpose...
You can use an external application to copy if file size is larger than an arbitrary number. (Eg: use rsync for files > 1gb)

Google Drive + Obsidian + Linux?
The iOS app only syncs via iCloud or Obsidian Sync. I was in a similar situation (wanted to sync to Linux PCs and iPhone without paying for Sync), but I do have one always on Mac, so I set up a script that runs every minute, syncing my vault on iCloud with an identical vault on Synology Drive. My script basically just runs Unison once every few minutes to keep the two vaults in sync.

how can i sync 2 folders? between 2 machines
Unison is another alternative. I use it to synchronize my music with a Samba share and an usb stick, works great.
- How can I run rsync for two directories when files in either directory changes with a CLI, and without an infinite loop?
-
Are there any CLIs or good ways on macOS to real-time / continuously sync two folders on the same drive?

- Is there a way to automatically sync files between Linux computers (like Dropbox), perhaps with something like rsync?

Darke Files is a version control and file synchronization system
I've tested many file synchronization. I rely via scripts on Unison, originally authored by the computer scientist Benjamin Pierce, and now decades of tweaking by a strong open source community.
https://github.com/bcpierce00/unison
I'd love to see Darke Files get everything right that Unison gets right, that nearly all commercial projects get wrong, through a blend of arrogance and ignorance:
* Meta data. It takes a lot to insure that two copies of a MacOS file appear identical to a user. There used to be a test suite on the web that embarrassed everybody.
* Atomic folders such as ".git" or an application bundle. A prototypical example is a MacOS disk image, supported by a folder of many small files. This helps minimize incremental backup and transfer. Unison lets you specify the conflict resolution at the folder level, all-or-nothing decide which copy or fix it.
* Symbolic links. This is wildly complicated by users, sure they're right, who want special handling to hack features into sync software that isn't there. A symbolic link is just a file, with correct use the responsibility of the user. You wouldn't want sync software stopping to view your porn, right? They're just files, not the sync software's business.
I use Dropbox for various purposes because I need to, but they bungle more of this than one would expect. For example, a typical MacOS application bundle can have internal symbolic links a typical user never notices, pointing the "current" version of resources to a versioned folder. Last I checked, Dropbox expands the symbolic link into a redundant copy, wasting space without kneecapping the app.
One could go on...

DIY triple-screen laptop based on the framework
I've been using Unison [1] to sync two and more computers for years. I can't recommend it enough.
