I'm used to using snapdrop but this seems like it might have more robust options

This actually seems like a really good way to share some archived files from my NAS with my brother without relying on SFTP over WireGuard.

That could be, also you can use webttorrent, qbittorrent (Lan connections are fast), syncthing (a bit more complicated)... I don't know how, but these programs sometimes find the way to connect to other peers even with restricted ports...

interesting. nice UI. How would you say this differs from wormhole in meaningful ways?

[–] Dubois_arache@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't know that software good, maybe the main differences are that wormhole is not opensource (I don't know) and that blaze does not have file size limit, as soon as you maintain your machine on.

i mean yeah. FOSS and no file size limits are definitely pluses. thanks for the info. are you maintaining that instance mentioned on the git? are there protections for users of that instance?

This is super cool, I'm hosting SnapDrop for this purpose and it's pretty slick, but I wonder how WebTorrent's performance differs for larger files
