This is a comment for my instance specifically, but you might find it nice to know: The https://send.vis.ee/ is mostly funded by donations right now. I do not plan to take it down, unless the cost becomes a problem. I'

Good question. I don't have very good reasoning for it, and I haven't put it there. I might need to remove it. Someone asked this before, here is my answer (bottom quote): https://github.com/timvisee/send-dock

Encryption is done with JavaScript on the client. The decryption key is attached as hash to the download URL on the client side as well. When visiting the URL, the key never reaches the server because the hash-part of an URL is never sent a

If you really don't want to use a certificate, just configure the base URL to be a http: address. That should work fine! Feel free to open an issue otherwise.

I don't have anything planned. But with infinite time, I'd: - add some form of authentication, to limit uploads for example - add a way to preview files on the Send page itself - provide integrations with other platforms - resolve

They said they stopped due to spam, but there might be more to it because they also had quite a lot of layoffs that period. I don't know. I can imagine spam being a problem with such a service with a well recognized brand name.

By adding this header, does Chrome just stop sending the FLoC ID? Or does it also prevent Chrome using your site to build up the users FLoC profile.

I've developed `prs` as `pass` alternative. It fixes many annoyances for daily use. It provides automatic syncing between multiple devices through git, supports multiple keys and many other things. It simply uses your existing `pass` s

Cool, yeah maybe you've seen me linking it before as well. I pay for it myself, with the help of some awesome donators. It isn't too expensive to run, mostly because files have a maximum life time of a week. You might wonder, what
