I feel slow on this one but I only learned about copyparty a while ago. With the more frequent use of uv for Python stuff, I like that invoking it on a directory I want to share with a group in a room can be as simple as uv tool run copyparty and they can just scan the QR code and get whatever as long as they’re connected to WiFi.

uv tool run copyparty -v .::r --grid --qr --hist ~/.cache/copyparty is what I use for quick folder shares.

I use Syncthing with a folder called “Configuration Files” where I drop all my sync-able configs and dotfiles and I simply symlink them as needed.

I truly wish to see the day when any computer can easily run Linux painlessly.

I think the easiest ones I’ve seen are Linux Mint and all the vanilla installs of other mature distros, but I still see cases from time to time with friends and strangers who still somehow manage to get their setups in some issue or another, whether it’s their hardware’s fault or factory defaults / configs getting in the way or their own.

I’m just glad that these are getting much better than ever as time goes on.

I actually got a notice like this several months ago even before YouTube did theirs.

If anything, Facebook’s quite infamous for trying to combat and blockers in general. I remember back then when they obfuscated their web layout so much that it got tricky for some to filter or block sponsored or recommended content.

Once upon a time, I used to care and disabled adblocking by default.

But then they tried adding malware and ridiculous amounts of requests to third-party sites I didn’t consent to share, and is actually consuming metered data on mobile back then when unlimited data wasn’t an option.

So yeah, I’m adblocking by default now that it’s been abused and it’s necessary for self-defense.
