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.

Yeah, it’s fantastic. It’s more effective at this than I thought because even though I use git a lot for programming and projects, I’ve admittedly forgotten far too often to commit and push/pull trivial changes on devices and in most cases, all I need is just for dotfiles to sync across devices anyway.

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.

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.

I think it’s par for the course for user traffic to normalize since the platform gets visitors just by simply existing.

But if they actually matched that against old users of the site, then it actually means something. Most of the users that left are usually power users and have used Reddit long enough to use third-party apps and can’t stand the bullshit changes.
