Tahoe-LAFS VS syncthing

You could also look at Tahoe-LAFS which I keep meaning to try: https://tahoe-lafs.org/

Then there are Darcs and Pijul, which use a theory of patches.

So Pijul manages to have lossless merges by actually storing a directed graph (though of course, you will still need to decide how to flatten that into a displayed file) :

https://jneem.github.io/pijul/

And because uses more information about the history, it is able to do smarter merges (if I am not mistaken, even compared to the OP ?) :

Good news for you: I'm well on the way to solving the problem of better code merging. Specifically, the algorithms I am developing appear to be able to do a correct merge on both [1] and [2]. They also appear capable of merging binary data.

The tradeoff is that people need to write some code to tell the VCS about the format of each binary file type or semantics of each programming language.

The biggest problem is that, like Rust, a new VCS has to be well-executed to make its innovation stick. We'll see if I succeed.

u/nextale shared a couple options: Tahoe-LAFS , Duplicati an Retroshare

Only thing that comes close is https://tahoe-lafs.org

There is Tahoe-LAFS which is decentralized open-source software where you can add remote storage servers (for example on a friends server) to store your data but the server does not have the encryption keys. Your data is encrypted before it leaves your computer (they call it "Least Authority File System" or LAFS because only you hold the keys, the storage servers just store the data). The data is encrypted in-transit and on-rest and supports multiple nodes so even if one of the servers burn down you still have the same data elsewhere. I believe they offer a commercial storage solution but you and your friends could install it for yourselves and run a closed network.

do you know https://tahoe-lafs.org? your goals sound similar.

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:
