    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 and non end-to-end encrypted file uploaders but the speed is going to be a lot slower for end-to-end encrypted file uploaders.

      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 witch is open source and recommend by privacyguides.org.

      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.

    Its also worth noting that the service skips end-to-end encryption “to improve speed and compatibility across browsers”, … according to MEGA, files stay encrypted while stored and are only decrypted temporarily in server memory … this model may not meet the needs of users who require strict zero-access encryption.

    Oof

    Also only free until next year

    Can someone make a middleman program to make this into a seedbox?
