How can I sync these user folders? #SyncThing
Got two computers on LAN, each two users: jro & public
Each user has a ~/SYNC/ folder (example: /home/public/SYNC, /home/jro/SYNC).
The goal is that each user folder would sync, device-to-device. Device1:/home/public/SYNC <--> Device2:/home/public/SYNC
How can I set this up with SyncThing
Do I need to run one instance per user?
How can I run SyncThing as a user that's not logged in yet? #Systemd ?
one of my 2026 MSQ (main scenario quests):
Exit #proton 😄
Over the years there is just too much shady stuff going on. Every now and then they pull off something that makes me lose trust and I feel like everything is going into the wrong direction. Also I just feel like I don't want to put all eggs into one basket. Currently I use these services provided by Proton:
- email
- VPN
- Password-manager
- Their cute little AI chatbot 😅
Why am I using proton? When I degoogled in 2023, the combo of Proton + Nextcloud was a very easy route to quickly get out of the Google Ecosystem.
Since I have already migrated once, I don't feel like this is going to be a huge deal.
What I basically have to do: find alternative services, set them up, flip the switch.
VPN is easy -> #mullvad 🤩
Passwordmanager is an interesting part: I plan to use #keepassxc in combination with #syncthing. Ideally my phone and laptop will sync the vault, and my laptop will also create a synced backup with Nextcloud.
One thing I started using excessively over the last 2 years is the aliases feature of #protonpass . Not sure how I will untangle that 😅 I really like the idea to have throwaway-email addresses for different websites and being able to answer incoming mails without leaking my real email address.
the email inbox itself will be a process over months but I already migrated away from gmail and I know the process and this time it doesn't feel daunting at all. My way of migrating email is updating the mail address on a handful of services every now and then, use both email inboxes for a while and after a couple of months I should know if everything has been migrated.
Ah lets see where it goes 😊 Step one, as usual: familiarizing myself and gathering information. I'm checking out Keepass now 😎
Testing out a new ios app called Synctrain (though it might also call itself Sushitrain?) which is a Syncthing client. I've been using Moebius Sync - which is ok - and interested if Synctrain is better (especially faster) in any way. First impression is that the folder selection works REALLY well and there is the ability to perform selective file syncs. Just a shame that ios doesn't allow Syncthing to run in the background.

I think I found a reasonable explanation why the attachments in the obsidian were mysteriously deleted: the photos app on the phones.
I clean up photos on the phone regularly that have already been backed up. When the sync of the vault happened for the first time, the attachments were synced and the back up were enabled automatically for these folders for either Google Photos or iCloud - I can’t remember exactly which one. Then I cleaned them up. So Syncthing did what it supposed to do: it deleted all of them from my source of truth - the vault on my NAS. I didn’t realize that and I don’t look at these old notes enough to find out until two months later.
