thanks to #kdeconnect / #gsconnect and #unison I have a #syncthing like experience.
I only have to start the sync manually via terminal, which actually is ok.
Because my wife uses only her smartphone, I can sync weekly my digital heritage (all the important files in #cryptomator) to her phone.
This way she has all the stuff she needs in case a an accident or death.
#linux or #foss is so great, because you find easy and family friendly solutions without the cloud
So I switched to #kdeconnect and #gsconnect for syncing stuff to my #android phone. Actually this quite nice with some minor hickups.
But ... the phone is mounted automatically to via ftp. You have to add /storage/emulated/0/Documents to the mount for modern androidos.
But then I can easy sync stuff if rsync, because I can access over the terminal via /run/user/1000/gvfs/sftp:host=IPADRESS,port=1739/storage/emulated/0/
Don't we just love #linux for this stuff....
It's an app for Android.
People on #gnome desktops can use the extension called #gsconnect instead.
GSConnect auf Linux Mint installiert. Läuft nicht, weil keine Gnome Shell. Also wieder deinstalliert und KDEConnect drauf. Daraufhin crasht der Celluloid Videoplayer. Auch wieder runter damit.
Natürlich sind noch ein paar Abhängigkeiten übrig geblieben. Jetzt hab ich bei jedem Start die Auswahl zwischen Cinnamon, KDE und Gnome.

Cinamon ist ja die gnomeshell. Dann müsste es eigentlich auch das addon #GSconnect geben.

J'essaie d'installer #gsconnect sur #ubuntu et peu importe que je passe par le centre d'applications ou par la liste des applis, l'installation se fait mais je ne peux pas du tout y accéder.
Une idée ?
Found a local file and clipboard transfer alternative to #KDEconnect called #localsend. its missing media control and remote mouse input but it doesn't appear to have the dependency bloat of kdeconnect or #gsconnect. I care about this because #XFCE is my preferred desktop environment its lightweight, fast, and the design language is more intuitive to me.
KDE connect on iOS with GSConnect on gnome are a godsend!
I do a lot of capturing on my good old iphone 12. Be it audio, video, images or pointclouds. The exchange to Linux is smooth <3
Another deeply frustrating experience with software.
My USB C cable is in the car, so rather than using it to connect my phone to my laptop and download my photos, I thought I'd give GSConnect a shot.
Three videos, two reboots, and two hours later, I seem no closer to getting it working than when I started.
So, so frustrating.
I'm totally awestruck about the level of continuity one can find using 2 simple tools - Scrcpy and KDE Connect.
Scrcpy seems to fit the idea of an "all-in-one" solution better, with shared clipboard access, screen and camera mirroring. KDE Connect appears more apt for multimedia and notification mirroring.
Does one really need to purchase expensive products from Apple and get locked up in that walled garden? FOSS solutions exist, and often provide almost every single feature a locked-down propreitary implementation would.
What I've come to wholeheartedly appreciate:
- bidirectionally shared clipboards
- bidirectional dev (mic, camera, files)
- notification and MPRIS support
- near-native performance
- (EDIT) browsing and replying to SMS messages
What I'd like to see (wishful thinking):
- ability to answer calls from computers over either utility
Combined with cloud-based services, continuity should almost equal the Apple ecosystem's performance.

Months of wondering why #KDEConnect only half worked on my gnome desktop has been ended by the fact that I had #GSConnect installed alongside it, so they conflict and always crashed when I tried to open the settings. Now I spent a whole 6 minutes to uninstall KDE Connect and set up GS Connect, which now works perfectly!

Voy a quitar #KDEConnect. Me falla más que una escopeta de feria. No sé si la culpa la tiene la aplicación de #Android o #GSConnect. Ya tanto da...
Llevo un tiempo ya usando #KDEConnect y la experiencia está siendo negativa. Creo que la aplicación #Android es el eslabón débil. Me falla un huevo. O #GSConnect, no sé, la verdad. Me dice que están los dispositivos conectados. Sin embargo resulta que no están conectados. Una puta mierda. Estoy por quitarlo definitivamente.
Installed #KDEConnect on my @e_mydata #Android phone with #GSConnect on my #Linux #GNOME desktop yesterday.
I have all my devices connected to my own VPN server the whole time, so it had to be set up manually (no automatic discovery). So I was very pleasantly surprised everything just connected by itself this morning. Notifications from the mobile appeared on my desktop like it should.
This is awesome! The KDE/GSConnect user experience has really improved since last time I tried it - which is 4-5 years ago. At that time, it was more cumbersome and unstable. Now It Just Works™
All I did:
To get GSConnect to work yesterday, I had to to run systemctl --user reload dbus-broker.service after installing the GNOME extension to get the required backend helper service running. This was only needed yesterday. Otherwise, I suspect logging out and in again would also work.

A quién (que use #KDE Connect) le va regular (creo) #GSConnect. Se me suele quedar tonto al desconectar y volver a conectar.
KdeConnect (on the phone) and GSConnect (on the computer) turn out to work extremely well when I'm using a computer for media playback plugged in to the TV across the room. It gives me a virtual keyboard and mouse to control the computer with, among other things.
This plus Jellyfin's remote control feature so I can drive Jellyfin in the web browser from the app on the phone make it all work nicely.
Al final sí me voy a quedar con #GSConnect (#KDEConnect) pues me gusta olvidarme del móvil. Soy de los que pasa una parte de su ocio en el #PC. Me resulta muy conveniente para dejar apartado el jodido móvil sin, claro, renunciar completamente. Cosas de la vida, je je.
Playing with GSConnect today. It's come a long way since last time I used it. I like it a lot!

Otro detalle tonto y molón de @kde_espana Connect, al menos con #GSConnect, es que al llamar el PC para las reproducciones y silencia el equipo.
Yo: Decido usar #GSConnect
La aplicación en @fdroidorg: hay un "bug" y no puedo emparejar.
¡Qué suerte! Ya han subido la versión 1.33.1 que arregla la compatibilidad con GSConnect. 🥳
