Show HN: Krep a High-Performance String Search Utility Written in C
tbf this is a really common pitfall and arguably a design mistake in Linux/POSIX, opening files should be a straightforward operation without pitfalls. Even established programs mess this up all the time, see https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/30690 and https://github.com/magic-wormhole/magic-wormhole/issues/363

Magic Wormhole: get things from one computer to another, safely
Nope. It needs to contact the "mailbox server" to coordinate the rest of the protocol. Two machines with local connectivity (e.g. on the same LAN, but your WAN connection is broken) could still implement the second half of the protocol, where they use each other's IP addresses to make a direct connection, but without the first half they couldn't learn those addresses or exchange the key-negotiation messages.
We've sketched out some approaches to working in a disconnected environment like that, using local multicast and mDNS/ZeroConf/Bonjour to act as an alternate mailbox server (https://github.com/magic-wormhole/magic-wormhole/issues/48). There's still design work needed, though, and I fear it would degrade the experience for fully-connected nodes (extra timeouts), so it might want to be opt-in with a `--offline` flag on both sides.

Some CLI alternatives if you don't need the GUI:

I used to use MW but switched to croc as the single binary was easier to deploy.

Ask HN: Best modern file transfer/synchronization protocol?
On a similar note, can someone tell me what's the fastest (wireless) way to transfer files between two laptops on same network (i.e. hotspot)?
scp, rsync, wormhole give me only 2-3 mb/s.
What's causing the bottleneck here and what am I missing? Thanks in advance!

File transfer solution on a high-latency link
Check out wormhole. It works on Linux, Windows and MacOS, keeps your data entirely on the private network and uses HTTP as the underlying transfer vehicle. Since HTTP isn't nearly as bothered by high latency (as compared to SMB or FTP), this is probably as fast as you will be able to transfer files on that high latency network.
