1s take longer than 0s to xfer, so they must be roomier.

Is it because the 1s get stuck in the bends in the pipe, but the nice round 0s can get around the corners more easily?
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 2 days ago
Yeah, do /dev/zero instead, for maximum throughput.

“no file size limit” sounds like a challenge…

It’s pointless; you can have both sides download PeaZip (which, FYI, is superior to 7-Zip because it’s cross-platform instead of being Windows-only) and run part splicers; easy workaround. This only adds to the problem of yet another non-E2E service in the running.

PeaZip is ridiculously slow on Linux, or it was when I tried it.

There’s enough front page politics right now about conservatives all being and protecting child rapists, that I missed the title as “MAGA launches file host with no limits”

I keep seeing posts about wetransfer alternatives and so far haven’t seen wormhole.app mentioned. Does it have bad juju I don’t know about?
We built Wormhole with end-to-end encryption. When you use Wormhole, a key is generated on your device and used to encrypt your files. In transit, your data is unreadable to Wormhole and service providers like your ISP. The key never leaves your device and you’re the only one who has it – unless you decide to share it. With Wormhole, you’re in control of who has access to your files.
When you share a Wormhole link, the key is automatically included in the link so it’s easy to share with the exact people you want, and no one else. Wormhole never sees the key. And we don’t want to see it.
Every design decision in Wormhole begins with the safety and privacy of your data in mind. We can’t read your files, and no one else can either. Privacy isn’t an optional mode — it’s just the way that Wormhole works.

I think there is a place for both end-to-end encrypted file uploaders, but the speed is going to be a lot slower.
I think the only reason you haven’t seen wormhole.app recommended much is because it’s not open source (not that it matters for browser-based senders). There is also send.vis.ee.

There are several open source magic wormhole clients.

Glad to see more alternatives around. I have been using pairdrop.net, but it fails pretty readily on large transfers since it needs a constant connection. I’ve also tried transfer.sh in the past (lets you set an expiry and password if using with commandline) but I don’t think that encrypts automatically and it stays on their server.

I thought transfer.sh was down most of the time, these days. I used to use it.

Can someone make a middleman program to make this into a seedbox?
IllNess@infosec.pub 3 days ago
Pretty sure this isn’t a server you can install programs in.

That also sounds like a challenge

If I can download and it and upload it to another person, then I can be the server.

Oof
Also only free until next year

Worst honeypot ever.

It looks like the download will be limited to 100 downloads after January 1s but no file limit transfer.it/compare.

Encryption doesn’t slow anything down anymore, CPUs have dedicated instructions for it now and it’s a non-issue.
