minus-squareqweertz (they/she)@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·22 天前Well, if you didn’t know, Molly is a soft fork of the Signal Android client. But, I think both support making local backups of your chats. I do so daily and keep two copies. These get synced in real time to my little NAS and/or my PC/Laptop
minus-squareGoldenQuetzal@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·22 天前Thanks, I do use Molly but never occured to me to use Syncthing to make a local backup copy. Great idea.
minus-squareqweertz (they/she)@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·22 天前Glad to be of help! I personally really like Syncthing, since it makes implementing a resilient decentralised quite easy. Though I would recommend you go with “Syncthing-Fork”, as iirc the “vanilla” app was put into maintenance mode or smth like that
