  • I have replaced a lot of proprietary web services with SyncThing

    Syncthing is a free, open-source peer-to-peer file synchronization application available for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, Solaris, Darwin, and BSD. It can sync files between devices on a local network, or between remote devices over the Internet. Data security and data safety are built into its design.

    Some of the things I use it for:

    • My encrypted password store is a local KeyPass (also libre) database file, which syncthing keeps up to date on all my computers and phones and tablets. so no LastPass or Bitwarden.
    • I have gPodder (also libre) running on my desktop, which pulls podcast episodes from RSS feeds. SyncThing sends 'em to my phone instead of using Spotify
    • I have replaced DropBox/Google Drive/OneDrivewith a synced folder for keeping reference documents or active work tasks up to date across my devices
    • I have replaced Google Photo phone camera backups by setting up my camera storage as a synced folder that transfers everything to my home server (where it’s backed up with a separate process)

    Nothing in the cloud, no data leaves my control. It has been critical for the ongoing process of decommodifying my computing.
