PSA syncthing-fork has changed owners (lemmy.world)

Overview here

The new owner of the repo has a fresh github account and apparently has the signing keys from Catfriend1 too.

Time will tell if they are trustworthy, but for the extra paranoid it might make sense to pause updates for a while.

Absolutely not trusting this. Uninstalling until we know more, and ideally just getting a different solution entirely. A new account tried to impersonate Catfriend1 directly at first, and then they switched to researchxxl when someone called it out (both are new accounts). Meanwhile the original Catfriend1 has provided no information about this, and we only have the new person's word as to what's going on. There's way too many red flags here.

Afaik don't need to uninstall yet, f-droid won't automatically get new builds from this repo until the situation is cleared

But but my outrage… means I can do stupid things and act smart online.

I'm uninstalling Android and installing iOS right now.

I've done the same. Not trusting something until it can be trusted. Unfortunately it seems there's no easy alternative apps, so not sure how I'll handle my usage now

Syncthing desktop in termux and handle triggers like battery + wifi via tasker?

[–] curiousfurbytes@programming.dev 1 points 7 months ago

Well, it's not easy, but I like the idea, hadn't thought of that... I don't really use the triggers, only when files change, so that'll do it!
