I used it for a while, having validated on a travel SIM. Deleted my number from discord today and... "You need to put in a phone number to validate." Completely locked out without a number registered. I don't think I'll be paying for a spare burner SIM just to revalidate discord.
Curious about your point about time conflicts. Doesn't syncthing look at the change on your machine compared to the 'canonical' list also stored on your machine? So even if the timestamp is different, syncthing still detects the change, and the only problem is if the file is simultaneously modified on another machine before being propagated - which would be a conflict anyway.
If you ask Syncthing how to do local sync (e.g. to an external HDD), the answer is, use the right tool for the job: Unison.
If you ask Unison how to do certain things (directory timestamps is the one I miss), the answer is, use the right tool for the job: rsync.
In the end, it all comes down to rsync.
P.S. I'm actually gradually migrating up the chain from rsync, having used my own hand-built utility to make convenient rsync commands, but now using syncthing and Unison more.
Kind of. That improves your backup safety, but doesn't mitigate all the risks. E.g. if you accidentally delete everything from your backup directory, then all those deletions also happen on the sync'd one.
I don't think they really had that chance. It's there in the docs about it: they implemented receiver accountability deliberately so European governments might be willing to accept it.
Thing is, most money is already digitised and tracked. Taler has the genius of giving (hopefully) enough accountability on the receiving end to satisfy tax and counter-fraud, whilst at the same time giving privacy and anonymity to the spender.
