rkt VS syncthing

Whole quadlets are cool, this just means me miss the rkt runtime. https://github.com/rkt/rkt It integrated with systemd properly quite a while ago.

rkt (and many other container solutions) was introduced after docker was released and became popular... they even mentioned docker's shortcomings as a motivation for the project creation [0]. It had all the same problems as other replacement software: there were plenty of bugs and missing features, documentation was limited, and there are no community to help you (the announcement explicitly mentions "prototype quality release"). None of those would be fatal if it was significantly better than docker, but it was not -- it was basically the same functionality. So almost no one made the switch. It is closed now [1]

And why "rkt"? There were much better alternative container runtimes. For example Sylabs Singularity [2] -- container-as-a-file, instant mounting, etc... I wish more people knew about it.

Think of Docker as the AWS of the container world in terms of popularity, there is another container platform called rocket (rkt) which can be considered something like Vultr in this analogy.

My biggest gripe with Firefox on Android is that sometimes I enter a domain in the address bar, press enter and nothing happens.

This behaviour seems to be erratic and only affects a few websites, such as https://forum.syncthing.net.

Closing the tab or using a different one doesn't solve the problem. I need to force close the app to fix this.

Syncthing has had on their roadmap for 9.5 years to support iOS but hasn’t due to lack of interest by the developers to devote the time to make it.

macOS is supported though.

And Syncthing via 3rd parties does support iOS.

I haven't been able to access https://docs.syncthing.net or https://forum.syncthing.net/ but I was able to access some of the docs via github. I think I've set it up according to the docs. The logs contain lots of messages like:

Malware built into iOS makes it impossible to install Syncthing[0], which is a problem for most of the people who use iCloud tp sync their files.

They seem to have chosen Docker instead of Flatpak. You can get it with Docker by running:

syncthing is fully open sourced and distributed under MPL-2 licenses, while dropbox is not!

You could try to force QUIC which should handle latency a bit better. The priority of TCP/QUIC will be configurable with the upcoming v1.23.5 release:
