Platform issues which disadvantage Firefox compared to first-party browsers
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.

Why are Apple Silicon VMs so different?
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.
https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/issues/102
macOS is supported though.
And Syncthing via 3rd parties does support iOS.

Syncthing problems
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:

iCloud Drive silently deletes your content
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.

Syncthing: A continuous file synchronization program
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:

- quick meme for my forgotten cake day

Ask HN: How to distribute a lot of images throughout multiple Universities
I was thinking about SyncThing, https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing but it's a file synchronization tool, meaning every node would have a full copy, and it would propagate deletes from one node to another.

Ask HN: What is your approach for managing personal digital assets?
I religiously use Google contacts. It's the simplest way to keep people contacts up to date on Android.
I archive all important documents in specific folders by subject and date. This is backed up to back blaze with restic. https://restic.net/
I use https://ente.io for pictures. I convinced my wife to use it, and she agreed to auto share her photos so I don't nag her for copies. It had simple import from Facebook and Google.
I also keep extensive journals, which really helps to tie it all together. I can basically grep for hangouts, conversations, etc.
I also separate work journal from personal, and have essentially a journal for each project. https://jodavaho.io/tags/bullet-journal.html for how.
I religiously use Google calendar for all plans, you can easily search it for past events to get dates.
I also use monicahq for some notes about things I should remember about people but the habit never stuck.

Duplicity
+1 for restic. I tried various solutions and restic is the best by far. So fast, so reliable.
After Borg, I switched to Restic:
AFAIK, the only difference is that Restic doesn't require Restic installed on the remote server, so you can efficiently backup to things like S3 or FTP. Other than that, both are fantastic.
https://apps.gnome.org/DejaDup/ is using this as backend. It also has a experimental option to use https://github.com/restic/restic instead of duplicity.

The Drive Stats of Backblaze Storage Pods
I'm curious, too. I know they've had some issues in the past:
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/3268#issuecomment-78...
On the other hand, I tested around 15,000 backups last year (multiple hourly backups, daily tests) and they all passed.
I use B2 as the backend for my personal backups using restic (which I would highly recommend https://github.com/restic/restic). I don't have a ton of data to backup, so even with hourly backups (restic only backs up when there are changes) I have ~100GB and it runs me a whopping $0.60/month. I almost feel guilty when I get the bill. But the minute I need to pick a storage platform in a professional context I know what my first choice will be.
(I am _not_ affiliated with Backblaze in anyway. Just a happy user)

Bandcamp support is faltering – maybe you should download your music now
More importantly you have the possibility to get lossless music files.
If you download from bandcamp then currently only in flac and backup the results with programs like restic [1] just as you should back up all other data.
You should always make a second copy fo any further changes if you rewrite tags or encode to other formats like mp3.
