I thought it looked more like the bastard child of C++ and OCaml.

Honestly, I’ve seen worse. Rust syntax isn’t that much of a sticking point for me.

People are very tolerant of bad syntax.

I use syncthing and poweramp.

I use OpenSMTPD for mail delivery, dovecot for IMAP, fdm for filtering and some tool I forget the name of for DKIM signing.

To bulk move mail around, just move the maildirs.

(Hosting email is a pain)

I tried it once. NFSv4 isn’t simple like NFSv3 is. Fewer systems support it too.

NFS is fine if you can lock it down at the network level, but otherwise it’s Not For Security.

Yes, I have a Linux vm for docker. I’ve chucked up a pairdrop container. So easy.

Sounds like WebRTC crypto is mandatory.

pairdrop

I like this a lot.

A question. Docs say:

Your files are sent using WebRTC, encrypting them in transit. Still you have to trust the PairDrop server. To ensure the connection is secure and there is no MITM there is a plan to make PairDrop zero trust by encrypting the signaling and implementing a verification process. See issue #180 to keep updated.

Does this mean if you self-host on your LAN for personal use without https, then nothing is encrypted, or does WebRTC negotiate its own crypto?

This is super-cool, just a shame it’s unmaintained.

Hah. Nice hack!

Also, I love red dwarf.

Dart (the language it’s written in) doesn’t work on BSD, so sadly that’s out of the question for now.

This sounds great. Thanks.

I also had the pro version. Last time I installed it, it asked me to review a bunch of cookies.

This was about a year ago. Could have changed since then.

Installing KDE will pull in hundreds of packages.

Too much typing, especially if transferring from phone to computer.

Thanks though.

Not heard of this one. Thanks.

A bit heavy for my taste.

I was a dedicated xplore user for years until I saw all the advertising cookies that they stuffed into it. That made me sad and I uninstall it.

Well my transfers aren’t “time critical” either, but life feels easier if I don’t have to jump through hoops to solve a task that involves copy files around.

Re: next cloud, looking for something more lightweight than that.
