Bouncing sheep…

Oddly specific theme on this sub today…

Interesting… more research needed

Syncthing-fork on f-droid.

I just use syncthing to copy music to my phone sd card.

I like those Lu butter biscuits. Pretty bad for you though I’m sure.

I found that the author glossed over a lot of stuff.

I was wondering the same. What a weird turn of phrase.
