My old phone tried to swim so is currently unavailable. I install syncthing-fork on my new phone. Different ID (of course), similar config but slightly different. After a few days, syncthing on my new phone asks if I want to overwrite a folder that was only synced with my old phone… when trying to understand why, I realise that my new phone appears as my old phone on my other syncthing devices. Sure enough, I check my new phone and it has the old phone’s ID, with the old phone’s config
how is that possible?
could google/android have tried to be smart and get me the same config? (same google account) both where installed with f-droid
both are Redmi phones, but I didn’t connect to the MI account/cloud so it would be very strange
I didn’t sync my syncthing config
It’s not a big issue for me, I’ll fix it, but it is a very confusing and could be very problematic in some cases
