Two ways I like to get files to/from a mobile device: Syncthing (Möbius on iOS) or ResilioSync.
Resilio has a great feature, Selective Sync, that enables arbitrarily syncing files from a remote location. Nice for grabbing specific files when needed.
Unfortunately neither one handles any kind of reading status, they’re just file sync.
I kind of figured, because why wouldn’t you want that?
When you say sync, do you mean just the books, or reading status (what page you’re on?)
Fly, as in the insect, is from proto-Germanic, so very old.
“To Fly” is from PIE (Proto-Indo-European, which predates proto-Germanic) so it’s much older.
Surprising results.

Who are you, their parents?
Allowed by who? Do you ask the rest of society if you can wipe your ass left-handed?
It always staggers me when these kinds of ideas get floated around.
Every adult has the right to determine their own destiny. Full stop.
Except local police can still wear face masks.
What am I looking at here?
Well, TrueNAS is a RAID system, and pretty much any Linux distro can run ZFS.
I sync hundreds of gigs, (if not terabytes at this point) using Syncthing with errors on only one machine (it’s running on 6 devices, including a VM). And those errors are of my own doing, not random Syncthing errors.
It’s surprisingly robust these days, especially for a single-user notes.
I have an indexing job that runs on my server every 30 minutes, saving into a text file (it indexes my media folder, which is about 3TB of movies and TV shows).
Those text files sync to my phone when they’ve changed (so every 30 minutes). They’re always up to date when I open them.
My phone also has jobs to continually sync my photos to home, an ad-hoc folder to my laptop, and about 25 other folder pairs (including NeoBackup) that sync under different conditions, without fail.
I’m currently testing Cherrytree using Sourcherry on Android and it seems to work fine as a single-user solution with Syncthing.
And an all around asshole
This is just from an initial search, with strict query:
Known Cases in 2024 of Bystander Deaths or Innocent Victim Deaths in Street Racing-Related Crashes
St. Louis County, Missouri – April 2024 Construction worker killed in work-zone by street racing crash Two 18‑year‑olds racing; one lost control and struck construction workers. One, Christopher Johnson (34), was pronounced dead. https://www.wdtv.com/
Portland, Oregon – Fatal crash killing innocent bystander Young mother (Ashlee McGill, 26) killed She was struck by a vehicle that lost control during an illegal street race while she was a bystander (had no involvement). https://hoodline.com/2024/05/portland-man-sentenced-to-3-years-for-fatal-street-racing-crash-that-killed-young-mother/
Grand Prairie, Texas – August 10, 2024 Family killed by alleged street racer Four family members (parents and two children) killed when their car was struck by alleged street racer returning from Six Flags. https://people.com/four-family-members-killed-after-street-racer-slams-into-their-car-8695681
Kansas City, Missouri – December 2024 Two innocent people killed in street racing crash A street race (Chrysler 300 vs Charger) resulted in collision with a Honda HR‑V turning onto another road; both people in the Honda died. These victims were not part of the race. tonyskansascity.com
As someone who grew up in the racing community (at tracks designed for it), I’ve watched the safety improvements dramatically improve over my lifetime, and the number of attendee injuries drop to near zero and yet we still have crashes that exceed the math of safety engineers.
I’ll add my personal experience. A couple jackasses were racing on a residential street in a major US city. Where 2 cars can barely squeek past each other at a walking pace.
One of those jackasses sideswiped my parked truck, and hit it so hard it bent the lower control arm. You know, things that are designed for major forces. $5000 in damage to my parked vehicle that my insurance paid because the prick ran off (not sure how they did that).
Imagine the smear that would’ve made of a human body.
I work very hard to not insult people here and rather to critique their statements. But in this case, get fucked with your selfish bullshit.
Downloads! Hurray!
What kind of nonsense is this?
Go on, lick some more boots.
You’ll get downvotes because this is just rationalizing kow-towing to Google.
There’s no technical, nor security reasoning to rationalize this.
Por que no los dos?
This.
Time and space are major impacts to the cost when aging.
And cheese needs to be moved when aging. Like flipped over. This is done all day, every day, at the larger places because they have so many blocks of cheese. And it loses some weight as it ages. Not as much as alcohol, but some.
It’s similar to things like alcohol. Champagne bottles must be turned every day. Whiskey in barrels loses upwards of 2% per year as it ages, so a 40 year old cask has lost eighty percent of it’s volume, while sitting in a cellar and taking up space.
Wait your damn turn, fat man!
I don’t.
If you’re stupid enough to carry out my stuff, good luck getting anything for it.
My setup is a small-form-factor desktop, a NAS, and 2 other modest systems. Easy enough to carry away, but all worthless from a pawn standpoint, because it’s all old, as in long past support dates from the vendor.
I guess you’d need to understand what a burglar in your area steals, and what homes they target.
I doubt they steal systems.
Others have mentioned Syncthing as a sync solution. I’d like to add a couple points:
Syncthing can work fine even for solutions that are intended to use their own sync, provided it’s a single-user setup. You’re not likely to make simultaneous changes on 2 devices, so collisions are unlikely.
Also for using Syncthing, I recommend Syncthing-Fork for Android - it moves sync conditions into the folder/job rather than global. Very useful when you have jobs you want always syncing, and jobs you want to only sync on wifi and power.
If using iOS there’s an ST client called Möbius Sync ($5), developed by a company the financially supports Syncthing.
For Windows, get SyncTrayzor - it makes running and managing ST easier.
Others have mentioned SFF desktops.
My current server is an old Dell Optiplex SFF desktop. Idles at just under 20w, peaks at 80. Currently has an NVME boot drive, and an 8TB 3.5" drive.
Runs like a champ, easily serves Jellyfin video, with transcoding, while converting videos with handbrake (and with 2 other systems converting videos off that drive over the net).
Cost, internal space, options and power it’s hard to beat an SFF. If you don’t need internal space or conversion power, than a NUC can work (the lack of sufficient cooling limits it’s converting capabilities).
