Android

Four posts, and no two of them are about the same thing — which is honest about how the phone shows up on this blog. It is a device I need to get data on and off, not a subject in itself.

The most useful is the backup comparison: I wanted specific folders off several Android devices, backed up inside the LAN with no cloud involved and encryption at rest. Resilio Sync on a small always-on box does it well; Nextcloud with FolderSync was markedly slower, and the post has the actual numbers rather than an impression.

The others are one-offs. A Flutter app built as a front end for my own backend, which was my first mobile app and reads like it. A browser-based phone transfer tool that stopped rendering. And restoring a Snapchat login on a rooted device, from 2016, when removing Xposed had already stopped being the answer everyone online said it was.
