    You can also make a torrent very easily, which is the better method.

    I’ve not heard of “Firefox Send.” Why would I use something like this instead of scp or Nextcloud?

      Because the other person might not have ssh or access to your nextcloud

    As interesting as it is…

    Using the snap package is recommended if supported.

    If you care about security, OnionShare beats all these webRTC implementations

    Is this Firefox Send thingy centralized? Also I’ve read that it’s actually a dead project.

      ffsend targets Send which is an actively maintained community fork of Firefox Send.

      It’s not centralized, you can host your own or choose from the public send instances.

      This is the community fork that is still maintained. There are multiple instances like invidious and from what I understand it is relatively easy to self host. Since it is only for short term file storage and its E2EE I do not really mind using one of the public instances.

      The Thunderbird team is actually looking to bring it back as part of their new (paid I believe) services along with Thundermail.

      If I’m not mistaken, ffsend generates a link that you can share with non-tech people (which is a big difference in my book).

    I’m confused, is this different than?

    https://send.vis.ee/

    This site states “⚠️ Send will be terminated on May 24th. ⚠️ Costs are getting too high to keep hosting this service. Find an alternative instance here or host your own.”

      It literally says “Firefox Send client” in the title.

    I always liked the concept of blaze, but it seems like development stopped 2 years ago.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
