They’ll need the money for the Llama data centers that are powering all of this, to be fair!

The author didn’t state how much was in the savings account, nor how much gold they intended to buy, right? It could have just been 1 oz’s worth or something.

The AI is just giving us permission encouragement to look

AI really doesn’t have much authority… but anyway, yeah, agreed on all other points.

I’m just sticking to BasicSync because of file size; no other reason, really.

I have noticed no difference but I’m also one of those users who only sync while their phone is charging (especially because I have a synced computer on less than half the time, so it’s a waste of energy to have my phone constantly seek for my other devices online), so I don’t know if my experience is relevant if your syncing is constant.

I like to fine-tune my control based on charging in case I experience data loss once in a blue moon, to eliminate panic about the loss immediately daisy-chaining to other devices. I guess I don’t understand/trust how file retrieval through the trash system works…

Syncthing-Fork is apparently fine.

I had freaked out over it briefly but someone had linked to proof that the handover was legit: https://old.reddit.com/comments/1tfldu7 (Yes, I know linking here is that-which-shall-not-be-done-on-Lemmy but the discussions were interesting and are worth reading.)

With that said, I actually like BasicSync’s design more than -Fork anyway so I’m sticking to BasicSync for now. I think either is fine.

Move to Linux! I would be happy to personally help anyone here who is interested yet unsure.
