#2I saw "Python" and was going to comment a completely stand-alone* executable would be simpler, and then I scrolled and holy moly, there are a lot of features there! It would be quite some work to redo it in another lang.
*It already has no deps
Great job there. A nice tool you've made.

#3The author of this tool uploaded a YouTube video demonstrating it a few days ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15_-hgsX2V0
At one point in his demo, he uploads a file but terminates the upload more or less halfway. Then he begins downloading the file - which only progresses to the point it had been uploaded, and subsequently stalls indefinitely. And, finally, he finishes uploading the file (which gracefully resumes) and the file download (which is still running) seamlessly completes.
I found that particularly impressive.

#4I'm planning to use copyparty with Apple Shortcuts to sync my clipboards across devices - should make life a lot easier.

#5Absolutely amazing piece of software, the kind that makes you wish you had a use-case for that. Kudos to devs for taking security seriously, too.
By the way, the youtube video showcases this project really well.

#6Copyparty is an amazing piece of software. I recommend watching the recent YouTube video for an overview[0]. The developer is a personal friend and my household is proud to own one of 20 limited edition copyparty disc releases.

Heh... I have one... have always wanted to make a little solar-powered "library" on my front-lawn...
(You know, like the neighbourhood "take-a-book, leave-a-book" little libraries, except for... digital content... It would fly an appropriate "skull + crossbones" flag...)

I've wanted to do something like this, but I live within WiFi range of a school and am concerned someone would put something "harmful" on there so have never done so.
I created a PirateBox on a little GliNet router a while back with the intention of sharing public domain content but didn't do so beyond having a quick play around with it myself.

It's very impressive, particularly if you remember waking up to a failed download from the night before over dial-up.

And like most things nowadays, it would get filled with highly illegal content within hours of you putting it there. The good old (innocent) days are gone and the society we’re living is not mature/educated enough for such ideas.
