PicoShare
PicoShare is a minimalist web-based file sharing tool I’m working on. I’m often frustrated that I can’t just send someone a link directly to a file because every file-sharing service tries to re-encode images/video or wrap their own viewer around other files, so I’m making a simple self-hostable tool that lets you upload files and share them with other people.
- Finished adding an option to specify a default file expiration
- Screenshot
- Previously, the default expiration was always 30 days
- Added a page to show disk usage on the server
resticpy
- Implemented support for the rewrite command, just recently added to restic
- It’s a neat feature that allows you to delete data from old snapshots, when previously there was no way to do this without deleting the entire snapshot
- Split up e2e test into separate functions
- This should probably be implemented in pytest at this point, but I’m seeing how long I can put off learning pytest
