Use case?

I still don't know how to use it.

>>107500765
it is very nice.

Backing up your photos from your phone onto your computer easily. Then the more important one i use it for which is syncing my music and videos folders onto my laptop and phone so I can always watch/listen to what i have saved on any of them. Has come in handy like when I have to drive a few hours to another city and have no signal to stream. Not that i like streaming my music much either way. I only stream youtube videos on my phone and that's about it. My music folder is almost 3gb and can last me 4 hours without repeat.

I'm a man and what's the usecase of doing this?

does Bitwarden count? Their new designs sucks a bit but it's a nice self-hostable password manager. Alternatively Keepass if you're a boomer

I use it to sync keepass password file between pc and phone, also save files for emulator

So you're syncing with my wife's black bulls files? Weird use case bro

Syncthing + keepass + obsidian

I'm literally the wojack from that meme but I am free (free as in no cost)

I love Syncthing but I'm baffled by how much drama there is in the Android ecosystem (caused by Google) and the havoc it has brought upon the Syncthing for Android apps.
>>107501066
Bitwarden is great. I'm neither here nor there on the UI but most if not all other aspects are great, especially the important ones. KeePass is also good if you don't need synchronization across devices.
>>
>>107501023
I had similar use cases for photos and music. I just Jellyfin/Finamp for music and video. I'm moving to Immich for photos.

I run it as a server instance on my NAS at home and use filters to only sync what I need to my phone, laptop and desktop. Completely eliminated the need for Nextcloud for me. Probably not the best way to use it but I'm satisfied with how it works and I get to keep my NAS' existing file system structure.

It sucks that it can't automatically figure out the topology, you literally have to manually connect each node to each others, i'd much rather have it be a mesh.
>>
>>107501219
How do you stop it from corrupting your password store? Sync when you're asleep only?
>>
>>107500848
I use it to sync all my folders between multiple computers, between Linux and Windows systems, without having to use a cloud service. If I need a document, boom, it's there regardless of which computer I'm on.

I've been using it to sync Obsidian across various machines.

nope it's just really useless shit

I'm sorry that you feel the need to be so vitriolic over software.

Yeah? What's wrong with KDE Connect specifically?
>>
>>107508180
reread OP
>>
>>107508202
I don't get your point, I've never seen anyone complain about KDE Connect. KDE itself, sure, but you don't even need KDE to use it.
>>
>>107508247
OK. You missed the entire point of the thread.
>>
>>107508253
Maybe I did. But OP started with Syncthing, so obviously it's not a thread about software that everyone knows and uses.
>>
>>107508285
I want to apologize to you - I thought I was in this thread: >>107505910

I just realized this and I'm sorry, the mistake was mine

Fair enough, it happens. I've made that mistake myself several times.

How much ram it takes? If it's more than 10 MB it's trash.
>>
>>107508180
It runs daemon that can't be disabled. Completely disqualifies it as decent app.
>>
>>107500765
I am using this with other devices I have. to keep shit in sync.
