Randall Munroe shows us how it's done:

Every time you email a file to yourself so you can pull it up on your friend's laptop, Tim Berners-Lee sheds a single tear.

Sad that this XKCD from 2011 is still just as accurate today...

Only because IPv6 and self-hosting is not mainstream yet. But if it were commonplace for everyone's home to have something as simple as a public file server or SSH server, then this problem would be trivialized.

Opera tried to make self-hosting mainstream back in 2009 with Opera Unite, but regular people just weren't interested. It was a web server built in to the browser, which had a few apps like a whiteboard, a way to write notes, file transfers, etc.

Also, IPv6 is already mainstream in some countries. In the USA, several of the mobile networks are IPv6-only, using 464XLAT to allow connections to legacy IPv4-only servers. Comcast/Xfinity was also the first ISP to roll out IPv6 at a wide scale, and the majority of their customers had IPv6 connectivity way back in 2014 or so.

Globally, around 50% of traffic to Google and 60% of traffic to Facebook are using IPv6.

Not quite, we now have options like wormhole that make it pretty simple

Just send it over telegram. Even Whatsapp allows that size I assume.

For sure, let me just make an account, install the app, find and add them- wait, he drove over with a USB? Jokes aside, thanks for the recommendation, but it's not any simpler than the 2011 solutions if you haven't set it up already.

Who is not already using Telegram and/or Whatsapp?

[-] IronKrill@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago

No one I have met in Canada has ever asked to message over telegram or whatsapp.

[-] Eheran@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Ah right, you are using the Apple thing over there?
