From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Why this over Syncthing?
Its more convenient to send just the specific files i need rather than syncing a whole folder. I use syncthing to keep folders in sync between computers and local send to send stuff from my phone to my computer
I guess. I keep a dir synced between my desktop and my phone. If I want a file transferred, I just drop it there.
@avidamoeba @edu4rdshl one sends one file one syncs a lot of files
Some in this thread said that LocalSend can send many files, folders too. 🤔
Syncthing is nice, but Localsend has a more user-friendly interface.
