| com.rustdesk.RustDesk "The user interface is good and the first time I used it, I was impressed! I thought this would be my remote desktop moving forward. Unfortunately, it went downhill from there. The reliability and sluggishness has become frustrating to use and I've ufortunately gone back to TeamViewer. I hate giving any open source software a less than great review because I appreciate those guys for their talent and generosity. I hope RustDesk can figure out the performance woes because the UI is very good and I would love to make this my daily driver since open source has always been my preference. I will certainly change my rating if the performance improves." |

| node-clipboard "I have NO IDEA what the installation of this software just did. I hope I didn't do something I will regret. It was removed as fast as it was installed. The cryptic description is 1960s unix all over again." |

| com.github.bcedu.vgrive "Remote file changes not working & a two-way sync operation carries too much risk. However, there is a real need for a ONE-WAY sync operation from Google Drive to my local Linux drive. This provides us with a backup in the event we are locked out of our Google account or there's an inadvertent clobber of Google Drive files stored in the cloud. So, a message to the developer: please consider a ONE-WAY sync option." |

| lsyncd "Lsyncd is maybe the most amazing Linux utility available that gets the least amount of attention. Using the power of rsync and inotify to create an amazing one or two-way recursive folder sync. On all my PC builds, my data is stored on a dedicated drive that can be transported from one machine to the next. Of course, the risk is disk failure. That's where lsyncd comes into play. I used to mirror my data to a NAS configured in RAID 1, thereby providing double redundancy (three data copies). With NVME drives, I simply use lsyncd to mirror to an NVME drive that hangs off of my PC using a USB 3.0 port. Single redundancy (two data copies), but good enough and it greatly simplifies the backup setup while significantly reducing the energy consumption required by the NAS (not to mention the NAS cost). I'm an old-school unix guy with no GUI ability. If I had that ability, I would write a front-end to Lsyncd for providing Dropbox-like one or two-way syncing of files (it should be easy-peasy for those with the skill). Til then, create your own script in /etc/lsyncd/lsyncd.conf.lua, define your source & target directories, and if writing to a USB drive, add a "sleep 10" command to the /etc/init.d/lsyncd shell to provide enough time for the USB drive(s) to mount." |
