Warpinator: Share files easily to each other locally without any cables




I heard about warpinator in 2022 when it was bundled by default in the linuxmint installation for easy file

sharing in the local area network.



Bro! What’s local area network?


Local Area Network is the network which you have hosted at your home. For example, if you have a wifi router

and 4-5 devices are connected to it. So, Each device is connected to each other via the wifi router.



With Warpinator you can share files to anyone who is logged in to the same network. I am also trying it for the

first time so let’s learn together.


Open warpinator by pressing the windows key or super key for linux enthusiasts.


It will tell you to input a secret password. Put it and if you have not set warpinator on any device it will show

“No other computer found...”


Now install warpinator on your android phone or windows laptop. As of today warpinator supports Windows,

Android, Linux and iOS. 


For Windows it is called Winpinator https://winpinator.swisz.cz/ 

Android app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=slowscript.warpinator



After installing you will automatically see devices pop-up in both your devices. 


Click on something to share and watch it go.



You better use this method if you care about privacy as all the protocols used in these are open sourced

meaning each line of code is available for the developers to check and audit. If there would be any

discrepencies it would had been called out already.


I know there’s something like google nearby Share and it’s good with android ecosystem there’s no doubt.

We don’t know the protocols and code used beneath as it is closed source.

Wazirx hack: A travesty for Indian crypto users and other Indian exchanges

This post is going to be as blunt as possible and let me take out all my anger, sorrow emotions all together. On July 18 2024 wazirx exchange experienced a cyber hack in their cold wallets. I noticed it happened live while I was with my father for his regular checkup. I was of the opinion that it must be a hoax or might be little amount as they must have had all their funds in cold wallets and wallets don't get hacked as it is backed by blockchain and we hold the private key. So I went on with my day and when I return back that evening it was raining tweets all over and it was catastrophic. Ideally I should have withdrawn the money as it was unfolding at 11 o clock but the wazirx fan in me was too strong to withdraw. I didn't withdraw when the government announced ban on crypto in 2018. I didn't withdraw when FTX fraud happened, lol I brought some during the downturn hoping to get some return but lost!  I didn't withdraw when Terra LUNA happened, I also brought some in ...

Today we will learn how to implement jio tv app with the help of kodi app from Play Store. Don't get me wrong we can directly watch Jio tv on our tv but the app is optimised for mobile, so using it on a tv without a mouse or keyboard because a task. With kodi app you get to do everything with just the remote which came with the tv and the interface is relatively easy if you get the hang of it. Kodi can be difficult if you cannot figure out anything explained in this tutorial because you have never used this application.  Will try my level best to explain without any images because I don't have a massive following who reads my blogs and I don't want to waste my resources writing a good blog. Deal with it. This tutorial is written with Modi's matrix version your mileage may vary depending upon time.  1) First of all download kodi application from Play Store or download via apkmirror if your tv does not have an Play Store built in. I know you are the one who doesn't ha...
