Another update for today: We're planning to revive LibreOffice Online, a web-based version of the suite that users can deploy on their own infrastructure: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/02/24/libreoffice-online-a-fresh-start/

#Heliboard is gathering gesture typing data, so that we can implement a #FOSS alternative to the closed gesture typing library Heliboard currently relies on. The data we collect will be released under the CC BY-SA 4.0

I also made a video including details & instructions.

Boosts Please! The greater the diversity of people & languages in the data, the better we can test for correctness.

Install Syncthing 2.x for continuous file synchronisation on Debian or Ubuntu or Raspberry Pi OS

edafe.de/syncthing

Syncthing is an open source tool that synchronises files continuously across multiple devices. It transfers data between two or more of your computers, without uploading any information to the cloud.

Syncthing 2.0 has recently been described as ‘A Giant Leap Forward in Decentralized File Synchronization‘.

Synchronisation for every platform

Syncthing binary packages are available for Android, Windows, macOS and Linux (including Synology DSM).

In addition, Synctrain enables iOS devices to “securely synchronise files with other devices that have Syncthing installed”.

The usefulness of Syncthing cannot be overstated. The Syncthing Project is a beacon of the Open Source development model (ansibleloop).

Running the Syncthing stable-v2 channel

These instructions are targeting the latest release of the Syncthing stable channel.

Step 1

Add the necessary release key for validation of downloaded Syncthing packages.

$ sudo curl -L -o /etc/apt/keyrings/syncthing-archive-keyring.gpg https://syncthing.net/release-key.gpg

Step 2

Add the Syncthing repository as a new source.

$ echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/syncthing-archive-keyring.gpg] https://apt.syncthing.net/ syncthing stable-v2" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/syncthing.list

Step 3

Install Syncthing on your local system.

$ sudo -- bash -c 'apt update && apt install --yes syncthing apt-transport-https'

Step 4

Enable Syncthing for the current user.

$ sudo -- bash -c 'systemctl enable syncthing@$USER.service && systemctl start syncthing@$USER.service && systemctl status syncthing@$USER.service'

Step 5

You may want to edit your firewall settings to open ports for incoming and outgoing traffic.

If you are using ufw as a host-based firewall

Configure ufw to allow connections to Syncthing.

$ sudo ufw limit syncthing

If you are using firewalld as a host-based firewall

Configure firewalld to allow connections to Syncthing.

$ sudo -- bash -c 'firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-service=syncthing --permanent && firewall-cmd --reload && firewall-cmd --info-zone=public'

Step 6

Use your browser to access the Syncthing configuration page by navigating to the following address:

http://localhost:8384

Step 7

Complete your setup by referring to the Syncthing documentation.

Upgrading from the v1 channel

If you have previously installed from apt.syncthing.net and are currently running Syncthing 1.x, upgrading to the stable-v2 channel is straightforward.

Remove the old APT sources configuration file.

$ sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/syncthing.list

Add the new repository for the stable-v2 channel together with its release key.

$ sudo curl -L -o /etc/apt/keyrings/syncthing-archive-keyring.gpg https://syncthing.net/release-key.gpg && echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/syncthing-archive-keyring.gpg] https://apt.syncthing.net/ syncthing stable-v2" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/syncthing.list

Upgrade to the latest stable version of Syncthing.
