I'm using a script that will request an AWS spot instance for 6 hours, reporting the address when fulfilled:

What do you typically use these instances for?

https://transfer.sh which I built because I needed it myself, now being used by hundred thousands of people a month and http://slackarchive.io used by 500 slack teams.

transfer.sh is easily one of the best file-sharing website I've used.

when I recommend it to others, they find it _counter-intuitive_ to use, maybe because of them not being comfortable with the command line. now it has a drag/drop interface, so, that's _good_ (i guess).

one "issue" that I do have with it, is that downloads aren't resumable/pause-able or you can't see actual download progress. Is this a limitation or was it built that way ?

thanks for making such awesome things :)

(for those reading, transfer.sh is fully open sourced here: https://github.com/dutchcoders/transfer.sh )

Not sure the code is production ready, but similarly, dro.pm is a small thingy that has a command line option to share files. The links expire automatically so there's no abuse headache and it allows links to be single characters most of the time (eg. dro.pm/v).

You can even edit links afterwards, for example to remove content you know the other person already opened.

Additionally to files, it also dupes as a URL shortener and as pastebin if you paste text.

It is based on the json reference of the aws api, which is being used to generated all different SDKs.

I've created this as my quick and easy reference to all Amazon api's. This works for me better to browse quickly between different calls, and suits my personal workflow more.

To be sure, I did it a few months again. Will update and add the version as well. That will allow everyone to choose the right version.

Awesome, thanks. Elasticsearch changes a lot between versions (at least the query and filter api), so that will be very valuable.

Don't know if you've seen it, but different versions have been added.

Will take a look at this.

Thx!

thx, will look at that. The docs.json is being generated from the rest-api-spec repo (https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/tree/master/rest-ap...). Will see if I can add more on the query dsl as well.

Exactly, who trusts server side encryption anyway?

Yeah, but the thing is that with transfer.sh you don't have to install any applications on your machine. And if you look at the code, you'll see that the max size isn't being enforced.
