  • Even though the fingers holding the book are creepy and not good, I really appreciate the attention given to the lighting. That shadow on the (suppose to be) finger is a nice touch.

    So is the stretching of Adobe logo, based on the stretched hand. But it is a bit more than necessary but that’s completely fine.




  • 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.

    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 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 know the developer of this website. It’s hard paywall. You won’t be able to bypass it by modifying the elements in any sense.

    As you mentioned in some other comments, only the currently archived ones will be available. If you are looking for just this specific article, let me know, I will archive and share the link here. If you are looking for a method to bypass it entirely, I don’t think it’s possible.

    Also I assume you are not in a position to afford the subscription. It’s fairly decent considering the quality of articles. So whenever you can afford it, subscribe and support them. Nowadays good long form articles are non existent in Indian media.
