Yeah I don't want locally deleted media (to free up space) to sync those deletions to my remote.

My crypted remotes wrap a B2 Backblaze one which doesn't delete, just hides. Periodically I go clean it up.

You are correct, fixed!

https://github.com/newhinton/Round-Sync. Not in any app store and have to download and install from GitHub.

It is an Android wrapper around ~~rsync~~ rclone.

Setup a remote, setup tasks, and setup triggers. Mine syncs every night. It supports encrypting with your own keys. Large number of remotes supported from self-hosted to cloud.

I use rclone and the Round Sync Android client.

Supports a ton of back ends, self hosted, and commercial options. You can transparently encrypt with private keys you control.

I personally use B2 Backblaze for storage.

My phone backs up every night and Round Sync pushes them to B2. On my desktop I can mount as a volume. I can also access my storage from my phone going the other direction.

I've done the same using SFTP if I don't want the overhead of persistent file storage.

It does not support indexing or previews for searching or finding say a photo. You can put whatever you want for data. So I have caches, indexes, and thumbnails that work in Linux. I can't really make use of those on my phone though.

Rclones bisync feature is also a bit dangerous when I tried to use it a year ago. I more than once "deleted" everything. B2 doesn't delete by default, just hides, so I was able to recover. I now do unidirectional syncs from my machines to different buckets until I'm motivated to investigate a proper 3-way merge solution.

This is news to me. That said, I'm usually one generation behind but upgrade every 2 years as my phone is usually EOL for software updates by the end of the period. I try to time it so I can get a replacement paid outright at mid-range prices.

With the Pixel 8 introducing extended software support, I'll have to dig more into this.

I'm on Graphene. Mullvad is only 1% for me with 16h30min since last on a charge. I'm at 56% with 1h30m screen time.

I used GPS as I did some driving with maps and my music app accounting for 29% of my battery usage.

I throw my phone on the charger at night figuring battery tech and software management is good enough.

Are you WiFi or mobile? I get shitty mobile service so if I'm off WiFi my battery tends to go to shit. The VPN usually accounts for more as I assume it keeps reconnecting.

I'm using Graphene. The Pixel requirement I believe is due to the Titan chip: https://security.googleblog.com/2021/10/pixel-6-setting-new-standard-for-mobile.html?m=1.

https://divestos.org/ has caught my eye. When I last installed Grapheme, you had to install eSIMs using the factory ROM then install Graphene. Divest I guess had support without Google services. I think Grapheme does now also, but before I get my next phone I'll weigh it as an option.

I haven't tested in Windows, but this is my setup Linux to Linux using rclone which the docs say works with Windows.

Server

• LUKS
• LVM
• Volgroup with a mishmash of drives in a mirror configuration
• Cache volume with SSD
• BTRFS /w Snapshots (or ZFS or any other snapshotting FS)
• (optional) Rclone local "remote" with Crypt if you want runtime encryption at rest and the ability to decrypt files on the server. You can skip this and do client side only if you don't want the decryption key on the server.
• SFTP (or any other self-hosted protocol from https://rclone.org/docs/)

Client

• Rclone Config /w SFTP (or chosen protocol)
• (optional) Rclone Config /w Crypt
• Rclone mount with VFS.

I use this setup for my local files and a similar setup to my Backblaze B2 off site backups.

The VFS implementation has been pretty good. You can also manually sync. Their bisync I don't fully trust though.

I can access everything through android using https://github.com/newhinton/Round-Sync. Not great for photos though as thumbnails weren't loading without pulling the whole file last I tested a year ago.

Typical back tracing algorithm when you don't know which path to take.

Hard agree with this. Its just rage bait distractions.
