Sad that this XKCD from 2011 is still just as accurate today...
Only because IPv6 and self-hosting are not mainstream yet. But if it were commonplace for everyone's home to have something as simple as a public file server or SSH server, then this problem would be trivialized.
Opera tried to make self-hosting mainstream back in 2009 with Opera Unite, but regular people just weren't interested. It was a web server built in to the browser, which had a few apps like a whiteboard, a way to write notes, file transfers, etc.
Also, IPv6 is already mainstream in some countries. In the USA, several of the mobile networks are IPv6-only, using 464XLAT to allow connections to legacy IPv4-only servers. Comcast/Xfinity was also the first ISP to roll out IPv6 at a wide scale, and the majority of their customers had IPv6 connectivity way back in 2014 or so.
Globally, around 50% of traffic to Google and 60% of traffic to Facebook are using IPv6.
Syncthing is amazing though.
I use a USB cable with file transfer. I also do phone file management like this because it's easier
Kde connect all day erry day
No shout out for my boi, LocalSend?
Shiiit dude thanks! Installed - definitely a keeper
You're welcome! 😊
Is safe?
How do you mean?
Is it vetted by someone reputable?
I am unaware of any independent audit. That being said, it is opensource. Given that and its popularity, I am, personally, quite confident in its safety.
Right on. Thank you
You're welcome ☺️
So we're reinventing scp now?
For what LocalSend is designed, imo, it is more convenient to use than scp — by quite a large margin.
