speedtest VS sharedrop

LebreSpeed

here's the top two results if you search for "open speed test nginx reverse proxy": https://github.com/librespeed/speedtest/wiki/Reverse-proxy-with-Nginx https://github.com/henrywhitaker3/Speedtest-Tracker/issues/924

Fast.com is giving me ~ 250Mbps https://librespeed.org is giving me ~ 112Mbps the one constant between all the tests seems to be the 52Mb upload

LibreSpeed (local speedtest) - https://github.com/librespeed/speedtest

In this particular instance though, adolfintel appears to be the developer of Librespeed. The official documentation in that GitHub repo points to that docker image by adolfintel. Therefore, it counts as the official docker image in my book.

I was loading up Librespeed with https://github.com/librespeed/speedtest/blob/master/doc_docker.md

I really like this project in compare to LibreSpeed or Speed Test, since it doesn't requires docker, PHP, nodejs or other heavy stuff, just a static web server is sufficient for a quick local speed test!

what does widespread mean I always use https://www.sharedrop.io/ for myself only tho.

I like to use ShareDrop.io [1]. It's peer to peer, auto discovers in local networks but works globally with shareable links. Only downside, because nothing is stored it's not asynchronous.

Like https://www.sharedrop.io/?

It finds devices on the same network automatically but also works across networks when using the plus button on the top right.

"If I was feeling paranoid and wanted to know if my files are being sent to some third destination..."

then I would not use a third party website.

But I'm not feeling paranoid. Rather, I like downloads. I like so-called "native apps", otherwise known as programs. I like them written in certain languages. I like to read and edit the source code. Javascript is not one of the languages I prefer. Nothing against it. I just don't have much need for it.

In case anyone wants a variant that doesn’t even require a download I can heartily recommend:

https://www.sharedrop.io/

I think of Sharedrop every time HN has a discussion about how the web has gotten too complicated and it should just all be documents etc etc… here’s a truly useful app that doesn’t leave me worrying about what access it is and isn’t taking, doesn’t need a security audit, etc etc. and I don’t have to install a thing.
