Van Jacobson made a couple of offhand references to Snakebite at a Google TechTalk he gave in 2006. These days, it's not well known at all, and the Internet seems to have mostly forgotten about it, but there it is. This is why I want the SyncThing project to catch up.įun fact: An open source version of BTSync called Snakebite was introduced back in 2006, predating BTSync by 6-7 years.
Freenas bittorrent sync software#
The only problem is I have to trust BitTorrent's proprietary software to do the heavy lifting for me.
No cloud services involved, no risk accidental publishing something private, no risk of an account hack, and no expensive data storage plans. My phone, laptop, NAS, iPad, all have my photos backed up providing good data redundancy. This means I don't lose precious photos from a trip if my phone accidentally falls in the ocean. Most importantly, I have all my photos and videos synced as I take them.
All of them got it right away with no technical questions or issues. I was able to share 15 GBs of vacation videos with 10 of my non-techie friends by sending them a read only key to a shared folder. The mobile app is a user-friendly delight. I am able to completely subvert the cloud and have all my data synced across devices. I use BitTorrent Sync with my FreeNas box. If BTsync ever goes open source or SyncThing ever achieves the quality and functionality of BTSync, then achieving autonomy over our data will be easy.
