Long-form notes on systems, software, self-hosting, and the parts that get strange.

Public services

I run a lot of services. Most are private, personal, or deeply uninteresting to anyone else. These are the ones intended to be useful in public.

Three small tools for moving files, sharing images, and keeping source code somewhere sensible.

Dark Send file-sharing page with an upload panel and text describing private, expiring links.

File sharing

send.ci

Private, expiring links for files up to 2.5 GB.

Files can remain available for up to seven days. The service runs Send, a maintained fork of Mozilla Send, with client-side keys used to decrypt uploads.

Snips.to upload screen with a large dashed drop zone labeled Drop your files here.

Image sharing

snips.to

A quick image uploader without the ad-cluttered nonsense.

Upload an image, get a link, and send it anywhere. Snips.to runs Plik behind a redesigned frontend that keeps the workflow deliberately small.

Gitea landing page headed What the Git, with self-hosted Git service features.

Git hosting

git.tf

A small forge for code that needs a sensible home.

Git.tf provides straightforward source hosting without handing every project to a giant platform. It runs Gitea alongside Woodpecker for lightweight continuous integration.
