Your cross-platform software of the week: Syncthing. Runs on all the BSDs. (Via discussion on EFNet #dragonflybsd)
Syncthing is what we used to do with konqueror right?
Why syncthing when you have hammer sync, rsync, or tarsnap if you want a commercial backup solution?
Siju – syncthing has nothing to do with konqueror.
Anonymous – if you are making an argument that syncthing is unnecessary because rsync exists, then why hammer sync if there’s tarsnap? Why tarsnap if you can rsync? Why rsync if you can hammer sync?
(Note that I am not asking those questions because I need to know why, but to illustrate that there is not perfect overlap in usage or suitability between any of these tools)
