qTox unmaintained. Is this the end of qTox?
If you go to https://github.com/qTox/qTox You will see the following: "Due to a lack of resources, qTox is no longer maintained. If someone with provable C++ experience and sufficient resources to maintain qTox wants to take over I'm happy to discuss that." So is someone going to "take over"? I really like qTox & would hate to see it go.

11 methods of sending 118GB failed. Advice?

Mattermost-Alternative?
Qtox does all that, even if screen sharing was a bit obscure years ago. Qtox won't work on iOS but there is an Android release. Big advantages: no server required, easy to use, secure, open source.

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?
