I really like simple software that is built for a specific task which it then does extraordinary with a simple to understand codebase. Similar to the philosophy of suckless.org.

What are your favourite programs that "suck less"?

I just watched this video of Copyparty:

and I can quite solemnly say -- as an emacs user mind you -- sometimes you just want a self-contained tool under 1MB that does everything

Also somehow took notice of copyparty. It definitely piqued my interest. Sadly i do not sync enough with my server a scp cant handle, so didn't set it up yet. Thanks for the share.

Copyparty looks like awesome software that I have absolutely no use for nor the time to set it up but I still want it haha. The video demonstration was really impressive if you haven’t seen it yet.

(btw It’s pique not peak)

The video showed up in my feed and only watched it because of your recommendation.

The video is so information-dense that I feel like I've watched a 10 hour video and been hit by a sledgehammer.

You couldn't get software this good for any amount of money. I will be using it.
