oh boy... you're really peddling a web service over a self hosted and completely self owned system?
has the ability to develop and work on technology dropped this low? this is a regression.
- ChrisSD 9y agoCreating and maintaining a self hosted and completely self owned system that's secure and functional is a fun project but it is hardly necessary for one-to-one file transfer. So yes I'm "peddling" a free web service over a DIY approach, especially as securing a public server isn't quite as trivial as you make it sound. It does take knowledge and sustained effort.
- dvfjsdhgfv 9y agoIt depends on what services you are exposing. If it's just SSH and HTTP, the risk and difficulties are really low if you follow a few simple rules. The bonus is that you can learn many interesting things in an experiential, personal way.
- dvfjsdhgfv 9y agoThis kind of approach is quite common nowadays, not only because people have different priorities, but also because there are strong financial incentives to promote "products and services" (websites that help you do something). The rest of us is happily using self-hosted services wondering how anyone else is handing their own data on a plate to complete strangers.
