the #Syncthing Android drama is exploding.

https://github.com/researchxxl/syncthing-android/issues/16

@fdroidorg at this point is being used to push out an app with sensitive permissions that's been taken over by an unknown individual who refuses to engage with its large community of users and developers.

I STRONGLY recommend disabling updates from Fdroid, if not uninstalling and manually installing 2.0.11.2, or installing the Google Play version which has a different maintainer.

this is extremely shady and it's just looking worse as time goes on. I'll link to the Syncthing forum thread from about where I left off last time in a subsequent post.

Not sure if this'll interest anyone or not, but I wrote up some quick instructions for running Syncthing on Android via Termux (with an optional home screen launcher) here:
