We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

What was sharedrop used for before being acquired? Never heard about it before

p2p file transfer without accounts. You just sent a link or scanned a qr code and nos you were connected. Always used it for vms. I've been using pairdrop.net as a replacement

I recommend sendme. It's a p2p file transfer system run on top of the hole-punching iroh. No port forwarding required from either side. And iroh is e2e encrypted.

Not the same:

  • sendme requires an install. Sharecrop was browser based. Which also increases security
  • the transfer requires a id I'd have to copy to the VM by hand each time I want to transfer. Sharedrop was a single code for the whole session
