I’m using syncthing version 1.0.0~ds1-1+b11 for amd64 on debian 10 (buster). I get a continuous stream in my system log file, /var/log/syslog, of error messages of the following form:
Sep 4 10:18:07 dzur syncthing[26890]: 2019/09/04 10:18:07 http: TLS handshake error from 192.168.100.6:44276: remote error: tls: unknown certificate
I get two every ten seconds. They are swamping syslog. Yesterday’s syslog had 16330 lines, of which 14998 were redundant copies of the sample.
Is there any way I can reduce this verbosity? Maybe fix the underlying problem?
Would the developers please consider knocking that down to, say, no more than one an hour?

Without doing deep fact checking, I think this is/was caused by a browser that doesn’t like syncthings self-signed certificate.
The spamming of this message was fixed in version [1.2.2](https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/releases/tag/v1.2.2), which was released yesterday.
It seems you’re currently using the official debian repository (which is a bit older). If you want the recent version with the fix, you can add syncthing’s own apt repository at [apt.syncthing.net](https://apt.syncthing.net/).

Thank you. I installed the “stable” repo, updated, and that seems to have solved the problem.
