  • Is English a second language for you? (Serious question, not being snarky). Would help with how to frame an answer.

    With "He died" - the word "died" is a verb (it's what he did), it's the action that takes place. It's functionally (though not literally) equivalent to saying "He fell".

    With "He's dead", the verb is "is" - "He is (dead)", describing a state of being/existence. "Dead" functions as an adverb (I think, English class was a long time ago), modifying "is", with the information that he exists, just no longer as a living being.

    "He is", while not obvious, is a functionally correct/complete sentence (just ask Descartes).

    Hope that helps and I request corrections/clarifications from grammarians and language boffins.

  • When you say things like "the sugar diet works"... Well anyone with any knowledge is just going to be dismissive - because it doesn't "work" generally.

    If the title was "the sugar diet works for X" that would be different.

    Plus in that image, the sugar diet didn't make that guy look like that. His insane working out did, and he probably did a lot of that before going on some wacky "sugar diet".

    A better title would help - something conveying there's surprising info to be found here, despite the idea being wacky.

  • Is ABS problematic in sun? I wouldn't think it was, since it's been used for decades in the automotive world on exposed stuff (I have a 90's motorcycle with a fair bit of exposed ABS and it's surprisingly fine).

    Maybe the auto world has additives for stability?

  • Not to argue, but do you have a link to the claims/recorda about funds being misused for personal use, etc?

    You've got some great links already for other stuff, the misuse of funds is a massive concern, a link would be very helpful.

    Thanks for the post, I look forward to testing (yet another) mapping app.

  • What I'd like to read about is a stable router.

    I recently made the mistake of buying a Mikrotik, expecting it to function.

    Imagine my surprise when it performed worse than my 2006 consumer router from Netgear.

    Even configuring it would cause hangs. Documentation was amateurish, at best. I had to guess at the logic of how it worked - oh, you mean Eth1 is the external interface? Maybe you should document that instead of just writing docs that say "here's how to configure", assuming a singular configuration without telling us you're assuming this.

    The worst thing about it - it would just stop working, at all, after 2 days... With one laptop connected to it as a test, and that only being used occasionally. So effectively zero load for two days and it would just stop working.

    Garbage.

  • Yea, gotta be something odd with your setup.

    Currently I have one phone (of several) thats syncing en excess of 10,000 files, some only on Wifi (with 3 access points), some wifi/cell data.

    ST knows the state of a file, so a disconnect should have no effect. If you're getting corrupted files, I wonder if something else is going on which may also affect another sync tool.

    Try Resilio for the same folders, see if you have the se problem (disable aybthing of course, otherwise conflicting edits will cause file corruption).

  • I've not had files get corrupted, that's strange, for sure.

    Some options (but it really depends on what you're trying to do):

    Resilio Sync (cross-platform, battery eater on mobile, but has a useful feature - Selective Sync)

    FolderSync on Android (can also be battery intense)

    Native tools and scheduling on Linux and Windows.

    Maybe a review of the setup is in order, what your devices are, what you're trying to do. Sync may not be the tool for what you're trying to do.

    I use a combination of tools for different jobs and devices.

    Generally, all files on mobile are synced to home using Syncthing-Fork. For example, on Android I have a sync job("folder") in ST for every root folder on the device. These get synced to home depending on conditions (e.g. DCIM syncs over any network, any power condition, so I don't lose photos, while Backups and Download only sync on power over wifi, since they're big and not critical).

    Between desktop OS's I largely use OS-specific tools, because I don't really need sync there, but file copy and comparison on a schedule.

    After 10 years and probably 1TB+ of sync, I haven't lost any files via ST. Currently have 5 phones running jobs back to a server. I've even moved Syncthing from one server to another with no issues. With how ST works, I think file corruption is highly unlikely - it even handles in-use files safely.
