   It's criminal that the stuff git-annex can do isn't just built into operating systems/filesystems. Instead we get garbage like Recall. Heaven forbid we get log structured filesystems that let us go back in time and do interesting things with changes, and the ability to track files even if they're on other devices or offline, with arbitrary metadata. Instead we get crappy hacks like Time Machine and Microsoft's shitty cloud thing that are just there to extract more money from us.

     ssh over something like rtctunnel seems like it is the missing ingredient from git-annex to completely replace SyncThing. Right now its only built-in p2p connectivity is over Tor.

     Of course, SyncThing is way easier to understand and use. But Android support was my main reason for using it, and they've discontinued the Android app. There's SyncThing-fork, but I'm a bit nervous about SyncThing's health generally if mobile support isn't a priority..
