Fantastic! I wish that I was cultured enough to fully appreciate it.

LPT: instead of ironing, sleep on the shirt in the shower.... Or something like that. I forget.

Great song, but I could never find much in the history books about the space-monkey Mafia.

Caravan parks are usually a form of vacation home (often rented out by the owner) so although they sound like a trailer park, they don't have the connotations of "trailer trash".

The parks are often in a resort-like setting, with video arcades, bike rental, mini golf, cafes and clubs.

The clubs can be family-oriented so it's not unusual to have kids there too.

Here's where I spent several happy childhood trips, feeding 10p's into arcade machines: there's an arcade next to the club. The family would spend each evening in the club which had a bar and live entertainment every night (I mean songs, comedy etc, not erotic dancers).

Looking at it now, it does have a low-budget vibe (there were communal washrooms, no toilet or shower in our caravan!), but as a kid, I loved it.

It seems like Boaty McBoatface is more well known than the inspiration, Hooty McOwlface, these days.

Can't spell "functional" without "fun"!

Oh no! How's the Queen holding up?

Some of the American English words used by young people sounds confusing, but are just abbreviations: "riz" for charisma.

Others, I don't know where they came from: "yeet" to mean throw.

Best phone sync (lemmy.world)
submitted 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

Edit: Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm going to try sticking with syncthing and try the fork of the UI and see if that keeps everything working.

I want to sync files between my linux PC and Android phones (mostly for Obsidian notes).

Can anyone recommend a good real-time sync?

I've been trying syncthing, but despite turning off battery optimization for the app, it rarely sees the phone as connected. I don't want to have to remember to check syncthing every time I edit a note.

I use resilio for syncing between PCs but it looks like it has a high battery usage on the phone, as if it is frequently polling for changes.

I use FolderSync for occasional scheduled syncs (e.g. updating my MP3s from the server to my phone), but a scheduled sync either is frequent enough to affect battery or it risks sync conflicts.

Cloud services such as OneDrive, Dropbox and Google Drive don't show up as big battery drains, so I assume that they use change notifications from the OS instead.

Are there any real-time 2-way sync apps for phone that don't have big battery drain and are not for cloud providers?

 

I grew up knowing a fishcake as being fish sandwiched between two slices of potato covered in batter.

But when I ventured out into the wider world beyond Sheffield, fishcakes were strange breaded minced-up fish things.

Was my whole childhood a lie?
