I did see that a while back, but I haven't had any issues so didn't look into it. A quick search just now though shows Syncthing-Fork on F-Droid, so it should be an easy migration if there does come a need. I did the same with Orgzly a few months ago as it too was forked due to the original dev going MIA, and there were a few annoyances I wanted resolved.
I switched to syncthing-fork, have had zero issues.
(At some point I'm sure new Android versions will do something that will require changes, but that can happen to any app and we will adapt. I think I've used syncthing for nearly a decade with next to no issues so I'm not very worried.)
For open source project management tools I prefer to use the integrated solution from Phabricator[1], nowadays called Phorge[2]. It has workboards, very good access control and separation of projects (tags). See an example board[3].
I see lots of people sing its praises, but (from the outside) it always seemed like it was kind of in limbo, not exactly abandoned but not exactly going somewhere either. I do see some recent activity <https://we.phorge.it/source/phorge/history/master/> so it's being developed by someone but I think https://we.phorge.it/T15801 squares with my concerns - there is likely a marketing problem for folks who aren't already in the know
I get the narrative of the article, but I think it is counterproductive to use headlines like this. I have noticed this sentiment that the article author is pointing to ("the world only needs containers", etc) on Reddit and other forums. But the reality is that Openstack is a very capable IaaS platform that does not have a match in the open source space. If you are comfortable using commercial solutions, then yes, there are certainly ones that could compare to Openstack in one aspect or another. But if we are agreeing that open source is good (for the market) in the long term then it would be unwise to think that Openstack is done and over with.
My experience is that Openstack opens up the world of cloud infrastructure to organizations that are either very large and therefore have the inclination to own their services and workloads, or organizations that have specific security requirements.
I wrote an answer on Super User [0] on how to use this neat tool. There are use cases where it really comes in handy. For example when copying a lot of files around to various folders that sits on the same disk so that you can assume that it won't run efficiently in parallel.
When I think of it even lftp has queue and jobs commands. But "task spooler" is the generic tool you can use for more general use cases than file copying.
There have been a few of these note taking systems that have passed through HN lately. I use org-mode for some notes and sometimes open-junk-file (that I discovered in in Spacemacs). What I miss is a tool that will help me keep some notes encrypted at rest but will allow me to search filenames _and_ content. nb seems to support searching, and encryption, but not the two in combination.
If you only care about encryption at rest, maybe just do filesystem encryption? Whether that's encfs or luks or ZFS encryption or whatever. (Caveat: some of these have very specific security properties that you may find inadequate (encfs is poor against an attacker who can see multiple versions of a file over time, IIRC), or efficiency issues with syncing (you're not gonna git commit a ZFS dataset))
Emacs can use GPG to encrypt files at rest pretty transparently. Just save a files with the extension `.org.gpg` and it should get encrypted automatically with Spacemacs (I personally use https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs/).
Note that adding an encrypted file to your agenda, .e.g.
`(setq org-agenda-files '("~/org/secret-diary.org.gpg"))` will let Emacs decrypt that file upon calling "org-agenda". Something similar should be possible for search if it doesn't work out of the box
I use this to encrypt files as well and I think Emacs handles this very well for individual files. It is however the notes management tool that doesn't support transparently search through multiple files.
I imagine what is needed is using gpg-agent to handle passwordless decryption of the files at rest.
Ah yes, I am using gpg-agent with my Yubikey - decryption would be tiresome without.
Well, org-agenda at least seems to support it through Emacs lower-level functions. Search is a bit more complicated, but should be well possible through hooks?
