I switched from a self-hosted transfer.sh instance to a selfhosted ffsend instance with r2 backend. Quality is much higher, easy to run on docker and its end-to-end encrypted. With the cli tools you can easily upload files from command line.

There are sone public instances too:

Huh, I have been thinking about setting up a file upload service for myself and didn't even remember Send. What a shame. I should consider it.

I have found two different options worth sharing: https://github.com/orhun/rustypaste (very lean and minimal) and https://github.com/9001/copyparty (someone's pet megaproject with features from WebDAV to a tracker music player).

I thought of self-hosting this (it's fantastic, by the way), but why do that when there are public instances? Feels like too much work for little benefit.
