Where does this whole controversy stand right now? Any of you went back to using it? If not, what are the alternatives? I’m pretty dependent on it but in no way informed enough to analyse this on my own
The tldr is the official win and nix versions are ok.
The problem is the unofficial android fork.
The original maintainer decided to hand the keys over to someone else, who thought it was a good idea to create a GitHub account with a name stupidly close to the original maintainer. As there is no history with this new maintainer, people are worried about another zx incident where malware is slowly introduced.What controversy?
Uninstalled on mobile at the moment :/ I’ve read about using termux without recursive sync but not the most intuitive solution for my gang.
I’m building FOSS alternatives from the ground up on top of IPFS. Not quite ready to use, but very promising (on desktop). Building the abstraction needed to do multi-device edits of the same IPNS key was the hardest part, but that work is done and usable for building any app. Might be another year before everything is stable enough to daily drive the storage implementation due to limited bandwidth to work on it, so I won’t share here – find me in the https://windowsappcommunity.com/discord if you’d like to see the work or contribute. If something happens to syncthing or people want a p2p alternative to the personal cloud, I’ll be there!
I would have checked this out, but Discord is a deal breaker.
Looks like i missed this and now have 2.0.12 installed. Dangers of autoupdate i guess. What are the chances that this version is compromised? I guess if i installed it the i’ve potentially already compromised my android. When will we know when all is good to go and why has the fdroid people not blocked the app unitil there is clarity?
