An amazing, herculean effort! thumbs up to Andrew

This preservation of old OS is important.

That's why we worked very hard to create the ultimate, nothing held back tool and recently launched it. Works across any device/user/platform.

UI, CLI, Local network, over the internet, anything. P2P + E2EE.

We've made the one true, and ultimate, cross platform P2P + E2EE data transfer tool out there.

Both UI and CLI with complete feature parity on any device/OS, between the same user's devices and between users.

Why? 2. Why...

I built Zynk because I was tired of file transfer being a "solved problem" that still sucked.AirDrop? kinda Apple-only. Cloud drives? Size limits? Waiting for uploads? WeTransfer? caps caps caps. Browser uploads? No folders supported? One network hiccup and you start over.What Zynk does: Transfers files between any devices/OS on your local network, also without Internet connectivity, between...

Don't forget his LZEXE from the good old DOS days which was an excellent piece of work at the time.

from the show-hn dept.

Hi HN,I’m Marc, founder of Zynk, an application being built by a small bootstrapped team.Zynk is a cross‑platform file transfer + messaging app designed around two things: reliability (auto‑resume) and privacy (end‑to‑end encryption).The project started because I felt it's still a pain to move files and folders across a Linux laptops, a Mac workstation, my phone, countless other devices, and to...

Re:52 Year old data tape could contain Unix history on Saturday November 08, 2025 @04:25PM (#45860158)
That's why so many of these new age development tools, libraries and abstractions are such incredibly janky pieces of bloat that literally require what a few decades ago was supercomputers.

All downhill from here.

Such a shame. People who have met him have always said he was a stand up guy.

Definitely a man who pursued his passions.

RIP.

Slightly veering off topic but I honestly wonder how many burgers will I fry if I ask ChatGPT to make a fart app?

Well, exactly that, I'm looking for inspiration.

Oh I don't doubt it! I was thinking how does such a busy man have time for this... but we always have time for passions and side projects :)

The airwolf one was funny, since it was a childhood favorite, and what a funny little typo they had there.

When watching the video I was thinking to myself, could this series have influenced my future interests in ways I didn't even know? Fun.
