    That’s a good point actually.

    If I could self-host a server that my devices were authenticated with and constantly backing up to (and geo-tracking), then that would be useful.

    Currently I have syncthing and no authentication with anyone/thing else.

      This is a major reason I root, so backup apps like NeoBackup actually work.

      Then Syncthing keeps those backups in sync with a home machine.

      Lose my phone? No big deal, setup Syncthing on new one, let files sync, launch Neo, restore.

        Hmm, I’ll check that out… I’ve avoided rooting due to a botched cyanogenmod conversion (my fault not theirs) back in the day…
