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 Ideally I should have withdrawn the money as it was unfolding at 11 o clock but the wazirx fan in me was too strong to withdraw.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 ...

Uniget UI a must have free software for windows users

Today we will learn how to install and use uniget UI software. It is an open source software which is available at GitHub. Open source meaning you can checkout the code and find out if there's anything suspicious about the software. Or you can report the bugs to the developer by raising an issue. So what's uniget UI? How do I explain this to a non-techie person? You know there is something called as terminal in windows which is almost the same as Linux. You can use it to install/remove apps with just one command, but for a normal user it's a bummer so that's why this app exists. It is a all in one place to download your software/apps without using your web browser. Because when you use Google chrome to search for let's say notepad++ The search results might have sponsored links at the top from different developers of the same competition or malware software. I know you are not that gullible to download malware from the internet but just to be safe than to be sorry t...
