 ==== Computer to computer ====
-By far my preferred system for 1-1 file transfer is the [[https://magic-wormhole.readthedocs.io/en/latest/welcome.html|magic wormhole]] protocol with the [[https://github.com/Jacalz/rymdport|rymdport]] cross-platform GUI frontend.
+  * My favorite for 1-1 file transfer is [[https://magic-wormhole.readthedocs.io/en/latest/welcome.html|magic wormhole]] protocol via [[https://github.com/Jacalz/rymdport|rymdport]], although it has significant [[https://github.com/Jacalz/rymdport/issues/165|bugs]]
+  * There is also [[https://github.com/schollz/croc|croc]] although it needs a comprehensive security review (along with magic wormhole)
+  * For 1-to-many transfer, I usually prefer Bittorrent
+  * For many-to-many, I like SFTP. Yep, good old SFTP. My preferred server is [[https://sftpgo.com/|SFTPGo]]. It supports S3-compatible cloud storage as a storage backend and allows you to mount as many of those as you want in a virtual filesystem scoped to specific users. Very good. I host it at https://files.qlyoung.net.
+  * Honestly, I hate saying it, but dropbox works fine too
-For 1-to-many transfer, I usually prefer Bittorrent.
-For many-to-many, unfortunately cloud storage a la Google Drive / Dropbox etc appears to be the only real player in town.

 I'm not aware of any reliable and broadly available tool that exists in this space. A magic wormhole client for mobile would be amazing. Do you know of one?
+==== Lol ===
+I made this page with its name before seeing this appropriate XKCD: https://xkcd.com/949/
+At least I'm not alone.
