0x0: Share Files from Terminal
I wish there was a command line program like this, but one that would make a torrent of that file [1] and return a magnet link for the torrent.
The next weak point is the centralization around the tracker. You can solve this by sharing all the tracker information on Nostr [2], maybe?

iPhone Copy to PC Shortcut
Edit: This is very simple implementation, even a POC, for personal use between our own devices at home or other personal private network. Even works on hotspot. But no HTTPS, so don's use on non-private networks. LocalSend, as suggested by u/Fede777 seems to be better for every other use.
