![]() The claim that pointing out that the rules only matter as far as the rules can be enforced, actually damages the rules, is utterly absurd. Likewise, if you take someone's code and it's not open source, and you don't actually distribute it, but instead just host it, and you're small enough, then the license itself does not matter. The fact of the matter is that big companies really do not have to give a shit, at this point, because even if someone challenges them, it's unlikely that any one person is going to have the financing to win the war of attrition that will follow. Right, but if they are ignored by large companies, there's no chance in hell that we're ever going to find out about it. you are effectually suggesting that licenses can be ignored. > however, what really matters for FOSS is that suggesting the license does not matter only reduces the strength of FOSS licenses. So the license does not apply with this exemption in place, and that would be arguable in a court of law. In this specific instance, the author gave a written exemption to literally everyone, in public - specifically to allow them to self-host and modify it. Made a mistake and uploaded something private or want to edit the link? Just click delete on the website, or on the command line you can use the token that you get when creating a new link. ![]() extension) or for uploading from the command line there is a bash one-liner contained in the page source itself, see: `curl | head` just `wget -L dro.pm/h.txt` to download the uploaded file (the links accept an arbitrary. You can also use it from the command line if you're on a keyboard+terminal-only machine, e.g. Viewing uploaded files instead of downloading is also possible for image/audio/video mime-types by adding /preview to any link. Code is on github ( ) though I still have to change the license to be more permissive (I've decided that I won't pursue this as a commercial thing, just open a ticket if you want me to change the license sooner than whenever I work on this next). It auto-detects when you enter a link, otherwise treats text inputs as a pastebin, you can ctrl+v an image, and it has file uploads up to a few gigabytes. by allocating the link before you even entered any data), and due to being ephemeral it's also less prone to being used for phishing like other link shorteners are. It's made to be fast on any connection (e.g. Not like chat apps where you have to be connected to the other person first (even if that is yourself, need to navigate to that chat) and no need to install any software. You get a link like dro.pm/h which is short enough to even share over the phone or tell someone at a conference to open. That may help me actually as I think croc has too many users on the public relay and the cost of bandwidth is becoming too high to keep the public relay available after this year. But, you should totally use magic-wormhole if that floats your boat - its a great tool, along with psanford's Go version. I've been using croc everyday for over three years and I'm still very happy with it. I should hope this means that security is taken seriously.Īnyways, croc is pretty similar to wormhole except that it allows resuming files (which wormhole does not yet ) and has some peer discovery for local network transfers. It was fixed within a week, so I guess it is also true that croc has a history of fixing vulnerabilities, rather quickly. ![]() Croc maintainer here: like mentioned from the throwaway account above - yes, this is true that there was a recent major vulnerability. ![]()
