syncsyncspirit v0.4.4 release! in c/opensource@lemmy.ml
[–] basiliscos2@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 weeks ago

Adroid-UI is lower priority, probably will be done after finishing core features and implementing them in desktop.

Also, google seems moving towards making android ecosystem more and more close; this might be a problem.

However, if there are somebody willing to contribute with Android, then I help, of course.

No, there is no AI-generated code.

There is a plan to have system-tray icon for fltk-frontend, and it is claude-generated prototype. Probably, I'll take some pieces of it for implementation.

syncsyncspirit v0.4.4 release! in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] basiliscos2@lemmy.ml 8 points 4 weeks ago

Thank you for your question!

There are some benefits, among them:

  • syncspirit is faster. According to my measurements it is able to sync linux sources tree folder for 2 mins vs 15 mins of syncing when using syncthing (that's over a localhost, of course)
  • syncspirit has a different UI. That's matter of personal taste, of course, but I like to see the exact picture what is synchronized and what is not.
  • syncspirit is able to run on more older software (i.e. from windows xp and up). Syncthing uses golang, and its software support is indirectly controlled by google (i.e. "artificial aging"); recent builds are running only on windows 10 and windows 11. Microsoft already dropped windows 10 support, so, I expect that in near future google will do the same.
  • the long-term goal of syncspirit is to allow "selective sync" feature, which unlikely to be implemented by syncthing.

syncsyncspirit v0.4.4 release! (lemmy.ml)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/41490352

I’m glad to announce v0.4.4 release!

Syncspirit is independent BEP protocol implementation. Like syncthing is continuous peer-to-peer file synchronization tool.

You can download ready-to-use binaries for Linux x86_64 (AppImage), Windows 32 bit (WindowsXP is supported), Windows 64 bit and Mac OS X (Apple silicon, xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine syncspirit-fltk.app is required to launch).

Notable changes:

  • [fltk] allow to regenereate certificate/key pair and soft restart
  • [core] reduce memory consumption to ~30%
  • [core] do not consume CPU when idle
  • [core] govern file system operations (scan, read, write, delete etc.) from control thread
  • [core, bugfix] use system/default ssl root CAs to connect to syncthing infrastructure (might require to delete configuration from previous installation).
  • [fltk, bugfix] fogetting to insert deleted folder into pending list

(Syncspirit)[https://github.com/basiliscos/syncspirit/] is a syncthing-compatible is written from the scratch software in C++ as classical desktop application.

Syncspirit source code uses GPLv3 license.

Any feedback is welcome!

WBR, basiliscos.

You can download ready-to-use binaries for Linux x86_64 (AppImage), Windows 32 bit (WindowsXP is supported), Windows 64 bit and Mac OS X (Apple silicon).

Notable changes:

  • [core] fix compatibility with syncthing v2.0 (i.e. tolerate directory with non-zero size and without blocks)
  • [core] allow to specify root certificate authority to use in all tls/ssl connections, see faq, mostly actual for Windows XP with expired system certificates
  • [core] allow to load huge databses and interrupt loading porgress
  • [core] reduce memory consumption by model (~ 44%)
  • [core] use in-depth scan order instead of in-breadth
  • [core, win32] fix negative serial number in generated ssl-certificates
  • [core, fltk] more correctly display file scanning progress
  • [core, bugfix] make successful upnp port unmapping upon shutdown
  • [fltk] deactivate currently selected log level button

syncspirit v0.4.1 release! in c/opensource@lemmy.ml
[–] basiliscos2@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 months ago

Not yet (I'm a solo dev so it is quite hard to do multiple builds). Patches welcome! :)

syncspirit v0.4.1 release! in c/opensource@lemmy.ml
[–] basiliscos2@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 months ago

Somebody might find that behavior a bit making nervous if you don't see progress, that it is running or that it was synced a few mins ago...

That's why for that "daemonic" behavior programs hide themself in system tray :)

syncspirit v.0.3.0 release! in c/opensource@lemmy.ml
[–] basiliscos2@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

I think it will always stay compatible on protocol level.

syncspirit v.0.3.0 release! in c/opensource@lemmy.ml
[–] basiliscos2@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That tools does what I always think was possible to do, or am I missing something?

I think the problem is that they do not share the whole communication protocol/model with GUI/client and it has only feature to block something aposteriory masks, while the whole folder with all files is already shared with client's device. The original syncthing database scheme also seems does not supporting this.

Technically, from a protocol view level, there is no problem just to ask a single file to download and share only it.

syncspirit v.0.3.0 release! in c/opensource@lemmy.ml
[–] basiliscos2@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago (5 children)

I think because of that they do not implement "selective sync" feature, i.e. when you need to sync only a slice of remote directory.

syncspirit v.0.3.0 release! (github.com)
 

I’m glad to announce v0.3.0 release!

The major feature of the new release is the implementation of complete file synchronization, i.e., the ability to send and receive files. To identify local changes, a periodical folder full scan is performed.
