Top 23 file-sharing Open-Source Projects

  • localsend

    An open-source cross-platform alternative to AirDrop

  • Project mention: The Rise and Fall of 3M's Floppy Disk | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-03

    I agree and get your point.

    But localsend has worked well for me. Yes, it requires an app but if we could get vendors to bundle that rather than a boatload of bloatware.

    I know that it would be to optimistic to hope for Google.

    See https://localsend.org/

    Spread the word.

    It really is hard to leave Gmail when all of your data has been conveniently stored therein. This is one of Google's retention strategies and it is indeed brilliant.

    That said, there's a vast number of self-hosted alternatives like Stalwart Mail (email) [1], Immich (images) [2], NextCloud (Google Docs) [3], etc.

    I tried using updog (https://github.com/sc0tfree/updog) but DBI doesn't parse the served HTTP page as a directory listing, and I can't find a way to make updog do a plain listing like SimpleHTTPServer that DBI can understand.

  • openssh-portable

  • Project mention: Terrapin Attack for prefix injection in SSH | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-19

    Unless I'm misunderstanding what this is about RFC5647 merely points out that the sequence number is included as AAD due to RFC4253 requirements. The [email protected] specification is not exactly the most rigorous thing I've ever seen (https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable/blob/master/PROT...) but reading it, the sequence number is only included in the IV, and not as AAD, which directly runs afoul of the RFC4253 section 6.4 requirement for it to be included in the MAC.
