Thanks Stephen for this precision.  I dive in the dnf logs (not had this basic idea before posting, sorry) and it is a request from one local user .
I have to clarify what this software is doing and why all these connections to remote servers.

I all,

on a freshly installed Alma Linux 8.7 I can see a syncthing process
communicating over https to a remote unknown server.
Syncthing is installed automaticaly but what does this process with the
remote server ?


syncthing is not shipped in Alma Linux but in EPEL. As such it isn't installed automatically by Alma. This would then be installed by a 3rd party script. You should be able to
```
sudo systemctl stop syncthing
sudo systemctl disable syncthing
```
or
```
sudo systemctl stop syncthing
sudo dnf remove syncthing
```


 
(base) bash-4.4$ netstat -puta |grep syncthing

I read it that “Syncthing replaces proprietary sync and cloud services
with something open, trustworthy and decentralized. Your data is your
data alone and you deserve to choose where it is stored, if it is shared
with some third party and how it's transmitted over the Internet."

But I do not want to share my datas!

Any details welcome.
