minus-squareqweertz (they/she)@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up16·2 days agoGlad to see they are establishing useful streams of revenue I, however, will continue using Molly in combination with Syncthing
minus-squareGoldenQuetzal@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·2 days agoInteresting, how do you use syncthing with molly?
minus-squareqweertz (they/she)@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·2 days agoWell, if you didn’t know, Molly is a soft fork of the Signal Android client. But, I think both support making local backups of your chats. I do so daily and keep two copies. These get synced in real time to my little NAS and/or my PC/Laptop
minus-squareGoldenQuetzal@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 days agoThanks, I do use Molly but never occured to me to use Syncthing to make a local backup copy. Great idea.
minus-squareqweertz (they/she)@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-21 day agoGlad to be of help! I personally really like Syncthing, since it makes implementing a resilient decentralised backup strategy quite easy. Though I would recommend you go with “Syncthing-Fork”, as iirc the “vanilla” app was put into maintenance mode or smth like that
