Sorry I missed your reply but hope you had a blast!

Safe as in encrypted and/or authenticated? Not at all! I only do this on networks I fully trust and with files that are not too sensitive. But it's quick and easy to set up. All my machines have python installed so hence the idea.

It's a bit unclear to me what you're ready for but if you feel ready I would say go and have fun!

Greetings fellow Belgian vaporent! Like @Uranium_Green@sh.itjust.works said, it's a bit slow but definitely check out the !trees@lemmy.world group out.

I'll have a look at your blog. Thanks for the link, it pretty much illustrates my feelings towards yacy as well.

Honestly, I was the same. I tried to run it multiple times but the results where never good enough to make the switch. Just wanted to point out it's existence to OP.

I often spin up a quick python http server. Just go to the folder which has the files you want to transfer and run the following command: python3 -m http.server. This will server the folder content Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 8000 (http://0.0.0.0:8000/) .... On your phone you can then browse to http://PC_IP:8000 and download what you want/need.

Did you ever stumble upon yacy? https://github.com/yacy The website seems down but the general direction of the project might be up your alley.

That's a very good point. Maybe make them some tinture with some of their own home grown? I've done propylene glycol based tintures that work very well. You could also make it with 96% alcohol if you think they would prefer that. My go to recipe is 30g, 1h in the oven at 105°c, then steep in 300ml of liquid. I've done quick washes and long steeps, both work nicely. The quick one is cleaner tasting but probably a bit less potent. Get some dropper bottles, 30ml is a good size, make some labels and it should make a nice gift for them.

You could add encryption and authentication via ssh: https://guide.munin-monitoring.org/en/latest/example/transport/ssh.html or you could put it behind an nginx and wrap it in tls if you just want encryption.

Munin might be what you're looking for. Very simple and easy to write your own plugins for if some information is missing.

Maybe a slightly different take on your thoughts, but you could see the feeling in a lighter way as well. As for the beers, why not get into home brewing? I've been doing it for a few years now and it's really fun. I appreciate the drink and the effect more now. Same goes for smoking, although I would recommend getting into dry herb vaporizers. The taste and effect is so much better. I get what you're saying, and some of the other comments, but letting go can also just be seen as being more at peace with yourself. You can use substances to discover a different side of yourself, and not necessarily a bad one. Anyway, take it easy, approach life the way you want to and enjoy the ride while it lasts.
