Nikita Prokopov [1]reviews Syncthing (a file-synchronization system) and, seemingly, rediscovers free software: " Syncthing is everything I used to love about computers. It’s amazing how great computer products can be when they don’t need to deal with corporate bullshit, don’t have to promote a brand or to sell its users. Frankly, I almost ceased to believe it’s still possible. But it is. "
