A short love letter to syncthing (and laptops)
(This is NOT an April fools post, I just felt like blogging today) TL;DR: syncthing is an amazing program, and if you have multiple computers, you should absolutely try it for syncing files between your computers! I love laptops. It’s kind of a problem. My girlfriend likes to tease me for my enjoyment of laptops. I watch laptop reviews online, I keep mostly up-to-date on the latest processors, GPUs, etc. etc. and I love scouring ebay for used laptops that I can put Linux on.

@edfloreshz I heard that about 26.2 and 26.3 :(
@edfloreshz sure, but I was a kid back then and installing updates that made my system slow was completely fine for me back then.
Also, it wasn't nearly as bad as 26 in terms of being slow where it really matters.
iOS 7 was the weirdest (and first) beta update for me.
