Is there a German word for "this person is very intelligent but lacks sensibilities"?

A js-based browser app to move files between VMs in (literally any scenario where you've opt-ed into using VMs for isolating)??? The only thing feature here that seems useful, is also unmentioned and basically is an anti-feature -- a server with persistence.

so, instead of using the qemu/libvirt/vb/hyperv native way of passing in a socket/secret/etc, we're involving: javascript, a web browser, php, redis, jquery, bootstrap (probably fine, but also who knows depending on how it's included), oh I ctrl-tab back and apparently it's generating RSA keys somewhere, for me, for some reason????

Feel like XY Problem - there's probably a simpler, better solution for a slightly more specific (or even just attempted-to-be-specified-at-all) problem statement.

I think the mention of using VMs was to show that if you had a machine hosted somewhere outside of your network, but you needed to get a file onto it and had no direct connection to it, then you could use this to host an encrypted file and then download it?

I'm sure I've seen something similar where a browser creates a tunnel of sorts, and lets you send a file or something directly from one browser to the other - which would probably be better for something like this as the file is not stored on a server.

Not quite the same, but there is the word "Fachidiot" ("fach" = subject) referring to someone who is book-smart on a topic, but is generally not very smart, nor able to apply their topical knowledge in ways they weren't specifically taught.

Problem:

Share content between two random devices without having to install an app, having to share the content with a third party or having to have a verified (by third party) identity.

Or alternatively, what's a quick way to share a file with a random person that I meet on the street without unnecessary friction or leaving unnecessary traces.

What's the best solution for this?
