The handoff (if you can call it that) was extremely sketchy, including the "explanation" on the Syncthing forums. Made me switch to Nel0x's fork of the app.
nel0x's fork is now archived.
AFAIK nel0x and researchxxl work together on the reserchxxl repository now.
Do they? I don't see any nel0x PRs. I moved away from it out of an abundance of caution.
nel0x commented on that syncthing thread.
that's what nel0x has said.
Ah, ok
Well, 🤬!
