Aayyy.. Where is the sensationalism in that? You forgot the fundament priciple of click-baitology.

Oh! Downvoting is fascism. This is probably one of the most pathetic attempt I have seen online, to justify the lack of understanding. Throwing words and then using hyperboles to justify it.

He is a footballer (Soccer, my fellow Americans). There was a controversy a while back due to a video showing him kicking his cat. Escalated pretty quickly and animal welfare groups intervened and removed the cat from his custody. He had to pay some fine also IIRC.

Is this related to the 'Kurt Zouma kicking the cat' controvery and the follow ups?

Holy hell.. That was heavy. It's a mixed bag of emotions and it is impossible to define right and wrong here, without running into contradictions. I wonder if there is any precedence for this situation.

It didn't work like that for me. I must admit I didn't dig deep to clearly see what is the problem. So my setup had a Windows Pc, a Raspberry Pi 5, and an Android phone, sharing a folder which had notes.

Whenever I save any changes in Windows machine, the android used gets updated without much issue, but the Raspberry Pi caused conflicts. When looked at the time stamps they were different and it looked to me like the Raspberry Pi 5 Syncthing is sending the old file as new one, because of the save time.

It read somewhere the issue is with how time is handled in Rasberry Pi. So I disabled the Raspberry Pi Syncthing and went on, because that was not really needed.

Aah my bad.. I was half asleep. What I meant was use Round Sync / Syncthing to copy files to pc and then use Kopia to backup. Round Sync can do one direction copying, so source files are not corrupted.

First and foremost Syncthing is not a 'backup' utility. Using it for backup is not at all recommended. Especially if you are dealing with Android or Raspberry pi, because the way clock / time works in these systems are pretty weird and create sync conflicts. So don't.

Now to the solution. For backup, use a proper backup solution like Kopia. Modern solutions support browsing the snapshots created as backups. Also creating periodic snapshots ensures better redundancy and better chance for disaster recovery.

Now if you will not use it for backup, take a look at 'Round Sync' available in F-Droid. It's an application built around the execptionally good app, 'rclone'. It is some what similar to Syncthing, but designed in a very different way. Also it is more difficult to configure to copy the files to PC.

I also wanted to mention that I have used Syncthing for many heavy lifting jobs and never faced issues with it. It is a feature complete app, with the philosophy of doing only one thing and doing it perfectly. So if you run into any issues, do reach out to forums or devs. They will definitely help you.

I hate to do this. But.. That is not Daisy Chaining.

I'm looking into ways to access my home network which is behind a CGNAT. Tailscale looks like the best solution so far. I would like to clarify a doubt on Tailscale

I have a domain name registered with one of the popular services out there. I saw that Tailscale uses MagicDNS. But I wanted to use my personal domain. My doubt is if I want to use my custom domain with Tailscale, the following will be the procedure,

  1. Setup Tailscale account and add machines.
  2. My device inside the home network will get a Tailscale IP assigned. From 100.xx.xx.xx pool
  3. Use this IP to configure an A record in my Domain registrar.

Now when I try to access this domain what will happen is,

  1. DNS server will resolve the Tailscale IP.
  2. The outside client will try to connect to my machine in the home network.
  3. Tailscale takes care of the CGNAT part and helps to establish a direct connection.
  4. Clients will use the public keys to establish trust and will communicate with each other.

If there is anything wrong in my understanding please correct me. I could not get a clear cut answer on this through searching.
