Fucking current internet just sucks.
I emailed about a dozen large images to a friend with a short deadline. I got rate-limited by my mail provider. I've appealed to them to lift the block from my one-time indiscretion.
But in 2026, 30 years of modern networking, why is there any limit at all on image size? It's stupid.
I'm lucky enough to have a well-connected server on the net so I'll rsync images there and they can fetch via browser. But what do normal folk do? Use evil services I assume.
The internet is a fucking shit show. These are trivial asks. "Hey, here's the photos you want!" Nope, can't do it.

@tomjennings I dunno what everybody else does, I have a NAS box serving static content when I need to share something. I found this much more appealing than putting stuff on corpo services and being constantly pestered with "upgrade now for $$$" bullshit.
