Oferă o metodă excelentă de transfer de date către sau dinspre medii de rețea strict securizate.📄 Suport pentru fișiere și text:• Permite transmiterea fișierelor de până la 64 MB sau a blocurilor de text de până la 4 MB (cu compresie automată atunci când este posibil).⚡ Fără instalare sau Asociere (Zero-Pairing):• Elimină complet procesul complicat de asociere Bluetooth sau configurare de rețea. Totul se rezumă la: deschizi aplicația, îndrepți camera spre ecran și primești fișierul.💻 Punte între platforme și dispozitive:• Funcționează ca o soluție universală pentru transfer direct între telefoane, tablete și PC-uri, indiferent de sistemul de operare utilizat.O abordare inovatoare și extrem de utilă pentru intimitate, securitate cibernetică și transfer rapid de date fără infrastructură! 🚀#Decimen #CyberSecurity #AirGap #OpenSource #TechNews #Privacy #OpticalData #DataTransfer #FOSS

⚠️ Before replacing your charger or blaming your device, check the cable.

Many charging, data and display issues aren't caused by your laptop, phone or power adapter – they're caused by the USB-C cable in between.

A cable that looks perfectly fine can still limit charging power, reduce data speeds or prevent video output.

The BLE caberQU helps you see exactly what your cable is capable of in seconds.

Because troubleshooting starts with knowing your cable 🔌

#USBC #CableTester #USBPD #Charging #DataTransfer

We've all heard it.

"I've been using the same USB-C cable since 2018." 😬

Maybe it still works.
Maybe it's slowing you down.
Maybe it's doing a lot less than you think.

The problem isn't how old your cable is.
It's not knowing what it's actually capable of.

That's why testing beats guessing.

👇 Be honest:
How old is your oldest USB-C cable?

#USBC #CableTester #USBCTips #TechFacts #Charging #DataTransfer

Not all USB-C cables are created equal 🔌

Two cables can look exactly the same on the outside while offering completely different performance.

One cable might support:
⚡ Fast charging
💾 High-speed data transfer
🖥️ External displays

The other? It might only charge your device.

The challenge is that you usually can't tell just by looking.

The BLE caberQU shows you exactly what your cable supports, so you always know which cable to use for the job ✅

🚀 Ah yes, moving data from Bluesky to Eurosky, because nothing screams "digital autonomy" like swapping one confusingly-named sky for another. 🌌 Clearly, the solution to tech giants hoarding power is to rebrand your storage with a dash of Euro flair and a dollop of #jargon. 👍 #InnovationOrSomething

Are there any good ways of securely transferring files between two parties that don't necessarily trust each other fully?

I was at the local bank office yesterday to hand in a stack of printed papers that they needed to assess my suitability as a customer. I had previously tried to hand those same papers digitally. Both on a USB stick and on my phone.

File Transfer - Yet my personal implementation would have been slightly different than the qs. One end sets port and send or receive. Then the other send sets remote-host and send or receive with code (TLS/PAKE) and that’s all it takes. Either sending or receiving end can run the listen socket, and the encryption is authenticated with shared code, after connection has been formed, then it checks just which way the data should flow and get’s it done with resume / integrity logic. I think qs is better in the situations where UDP works.

qs aka quick-send - Tired of wrestling with overly complex file transfer tools? Solution, the hidden gem of A-to-B file transfers.

While alternatives like croc and magic-wormhole often suffer from frustrating UX—requiring extensive manuals, relay configurations, slowness, custom scripts, and firewall tweaks—qs focuses on simplicity and actually works.

Why qs stands out:

• Zero installation: Ships as a single binary without unnecessary bloat.
• Frictionless UX: No 50-page man pages or complex setup instructions; just run and transfer.
• Reliability: Cuts out the hours of frustration and failed attempts common with over-engineered solutions.

If you need a tool that simply does exactly what it is supposed to do, check out the project and its excellent feature comparison checklist here: https://github.com/maxomatic458/quic-send

Want IRC now I know what it is (Internet Relay Chat) & what it does: so much more than chat/instant messaging, like file sharing, data transfer, etc.
Great story to it too: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRC
Time to make a comeback 😁

I don’t think this is “Old man shouting at cloud” - it’s a different (more lively) way of being
& it’s good to read about it. 🙂 Expands our possibilities.

Pushed me to look up IRC (Internet Relay Chat) (seen the acronym often but never knew what it stands for, but pretty sure it wasn’t International Red Cross 🫢). Learn that it’s a “text-based chat system for instant messaging… designed for group communication in discussion forums [channels] but also allows one-on-one communication via private messages as well as chat and data transfer including file sharing.

Say it again: Expands our possibilities. 😁

Script para crear automáticamente una SD de AGS para PiStorm

El usuario Matt Alexander ha publicado un script que automatiza la preparación de una tarjeta SD para AGS (Amiga Game Selector) en configuraciones con PiStorm. La herramienta está pensada para simplificar un proceso que normalmente requiere varios pasos manuales, especialmente en la parte de particionado y copia de datos.

Al ejecutarlo, el script solo solicita dos datos: la ubicación de la tarjeta SD y la ruta donde se encuentra la instalación de AGS usada en WinUAE. A partir de esa información, realiza el trabajo completo de forma automática. Entre sus funciones se incluye la descarga de una copia de HST Imager, la creación de las particiones necesarias y la copia de los datos a la tarjeta. Además, también coloca el archivo ROM en su ubicación correspondiente utilizando el que el usuario ya tenga disponible, evitando pasos adicionales de búsqueda y configuración manual.

Con este enfoque, el script permite generar una SD lista para usar con AGS en PiStorm de forma más rápida y repetible, reduciendo el margen de error típico al preparar particiones y copiar archivos a mano.

I’m working towards something for #secure / #private / #simple #P2P #filetransfer. It isnt as “simple” as it could be, im still working on it, but ive got it down to:

Zero-installation as a #PWA

Zero-registration by using local-only storage

#P2P-authentication using #WebCryptoAPI

Fast #datatransfer using #WebRTC, #syncthing, #croc, #sphynctershare and countless others. the key difference in my approach is that its a #webapp thats ready to go without any "real" setup process. you just need a browser.

I’m aware there are things like #SFTP and several other established protocols and tools. I started doing this because I was learning about #WebRTC and it seems suprisingly capable. This isnt ready to replace any existing apps or services.

(Note: I know you guys are typically interested in #opensource code. this project is a spin-off from a bigger project: https://github.com/positive-intentions/chat)

Let me know what you think about the app, features and experience you would expect from a tool like this.

---

SUPER IMPORTANT NOTES TO PREVENT MISLEADING:

These projects are not ready to replace any existing apps or services.

These projects are not peer-reviewed or security audited.

The chat-app is #opensource for transparency (as linked above)... but the file-app is not open souce at all (especially spicy when not reviewed or audited.).

All projects behind positive-intentions are provided for testing and demo purposes only.

"Our work on personal #AIdatatransfers starts with conversation history, as it is the most concrete and immediate use case. But as many continue to develop & ship more complex articulations of user experiences, the needs for collective work on data models & transfer tools will grow more complex, and important.
It’s going to be hard, but at the same time, ensuring continued human control of our AI experiences is paramount. And #datatransfer is central to that control."
