Dripps - Simple Dropbox-Powered File & Image Sharing

Trying this out for a day instead of CloudApp, seems to work as advertised. It re-uploads the file to a specific folder and then creates the sharing URL.

For files already in Dropbox with the changes they just made to link to any file/folder I would think not re-uploading and just creating a link would be a better workflow. That’s pretty new though so hopefully that option is coming.

Microsoft still doesn’t get it, why can’t there be one version of Windows? Or at minimum 2, one for Intel and one for ARM.

Just how big are porn sites?

Finally, bandwidth. Referring back to our Xvideos example (based on an Ad Planner estimate), a large porn site will have to have enough connectivity to serve up 50 gigabytes per second, or 400Gbps. Bear in mind this is an average data rate, too: At peak time, Xvideos might burst to 1,000Gbps (1Tbps) or more. To put this into perspective, there’s only about 15Tbps of connectivity between London and New York.

Big.
