It’s Sunday somewhere already so why wait?

Let us know what you set up lately, what kind of problems you currently think about or are running into, what new device you added to your homelab or what interesting service or article you found.

I’ll post my ongoing things later/tomorrow but I didn’t want to forget the post again.

    Thanks for the mention :>

    Yeah, copyparty was my attempt at solving this issue - a single python-file for receiving uploads of infinitely large files, usually much faster than other alternatives (ftp, sftp, nextcloud, etc.) especially when the physical distance to the uploader is large (hairy routing).

    I’m not gonna put an upload on my site, that’s a security nightmare waiting to happen.

    curious to hear your specific concerns on this; maybe it’s something that’s already handled?

      I already saw copyparty but it appears to me to be a pretty large codebase for something so simple. I don’t want to have to keep up with that because there’s no way I’m reading and vetting all that code; it becomes a security problem.

      It is still easier and infinitely more secure to grab a USB drive, a bicycle and just haul ass across town. Takes less time, too.

        You could always toss it in a sandbox for some isolation :> but yeah I get you, all of the optional features does mean more code.

        It’s a shame that browsers make stuff like chunked uploading so tricky, so even just the essentials would be a fair bit of logic – and you won’t get optimal upload speeds without sending chunks in parallel. And the corruption detection is also worth its weight in gold… Ah well, it is what it is hehe
