I just checked, they do send user agent to lemmy server.

For example

    final appVersion = getCurrentVersion(removeInternalBuildNumber: true, trimV: true);
    return {
      'User-Agent': 'Thunder/$appVersion',
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      'Accept': 'application/json',
      if (account.jwt != null) 'Authorization': 'Bearer ${account.jwt}',

    @tal@lemmy.today That post is somehow deleted by the mod so I could only reply here

    I’m not personally familiar with Synology’s products, but if what’s going on is that you’re using some built-in feature of a Synology NAS to copy files from a USB drive to the NAS and seeing an error, I’d probably try copying that particular file to somewhere else on a PC, cutting the NAS out of the loop, to make sure that you don’t have, say, a corrupt filesystem where attempts to read the file contents are failing.

    USB Copy is a built in application in synology. I set it up to do mirroring backup of several folders each day. Copy files to a PC works for me but not a long term solution

    Yes that would be an alternative. But I'm looking for a more user friendly client that could achieve the goal.

    To be honest, this is a very specific method, and I don’t know which problem we’re facing. So this might as well be some A-B problem. So what are you trying to achieve?

    user agent is not essential for the servers, server does not need to know which client or device I am using. So I don't want any server to fingerprint users.

    Could you explain the use case?

    user agent is not essential for the servers, server does not need to know which client or device I am using.

    Now that AIs are flooding the instances, some admins are blocking these kinds of requests.

    What AI request?
