Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Didn't know about that one. Why, there's no objection in adding more to the collection right here. 😊

I'm definitely here for more alternatives as well (and because I haven't yet figured out how to save a post without commenting)

Depends on the client. Configuration for it in Eternity is in the settings

I miss some parts of Kbin, but I'm very glad to have a perfectly functional save feature in Photon...

(And that the threads actually load.)

Don't be so sad, the list is shit.

I like drop.lol

As someone wanting to share large files, what is your suggestion?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago

I think they were trying to say they suggest drop.lol

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

As @[email protected] already said, I'd recommend drop.lol (can be selfhosted). Filetransfers are direct between peers (unless you're behind some hardcore NAS where UDP hole-punching via STUN is not possible).

I mean how I transfer a file depends on the situation. If it's to someone on XMPP I'd just establish a direct transfer there. Sometimes I share a directory over HTTP, FTP, SFTP and so on. The easiest way for most people, because it only requires a WebRTC capable browser, is with one of the many peer to peer filesharing platforms like drop.lol.

Yea I have my own list with over a hundred of these sites.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I can't find anything on that site that talks about how it works. That's disappointing.

"Fork Us" button goes right to the github repo.

Ah yes, that's exactly the kind of information they should have on their main site.
