Client-side encryption. Mega works, may use some questionable cryptography, but the rest of your solutions don't offer that at all.

They're trying to avoid running the next Mega. It also posts the unencrypted hash of the file you uploaded to their server so that they can do DMCA takedowns. There are other existing solutions like https://share.riseup.net

There's many such tools available, RiseUp runs one called Up1. See https://share.riseup.net/ It's quite nice, has integrated image and video viewers as well as a pastebin all end-to-end encrypted.

The tech is legit for its application - but for many other purposes its very much not. It's being thrown around as a buzzword.

I believe there's a few things under .NET that try to wrap multiple UI libraries to varying levels of success too however none of them are as mature as Qt for a nice multiplatform UI in my opinion.

Definitely a good reason to use Qt, but you wouldn't get that with Delphi either. Qt is probably the best looking build-once, run with an acceptable UI package anywhere in that market. EDIT: Just saw your second addition... not so sure

If you're looking for something more Deplhi-like, why don't you just use .NET? Mostly open source now, tons of 3rd party libraries and component packages available for it, just like Delphi in its glory days.

I completely agree with this, but if a determined company is scraping the data, they can do various things to make the traffic blend in, it's not always possible for technical means to detect scraping. To which I say "oh well, dea

I think you're either focusing on a very small part of the market - very large websites - or you're overestimating the requirements most websites have. Either way, it seems like you're taking about a very different scenario t

AWS tooling doesn't save developer time in my experience. In fact, I'd argue that optimizing for it more often than not wastes it. I've watched someone spend days learning to configure a performant DB server on AWS due to the

Newer versions of OllyDbg never caught on and a stable working x64 version has never hit. The main community for Olly sort of died with XP 32-bit unfortunately. x64dbg has largely replaced it for 64-bit code and many of its common features

Yeah, Android put the effort into software and let manufacturers deal with the hardware. It's sad that their approach failed though, I'd really like a modern device with something like OsmocomBB available right about now...
