airpipe

Create a stdin/stdout pipe easily over wifi or internet.

The magic part is that the program will find the other person over the local network or even the internet automatically, without needing to exchange IP addresses. Just a direct pipe to another peer.

In one terminal:

$ airpipe testshare

In another terminal:

$ echo "hello from another terminal" | airpipe testshare

on one side:

$ airpipe < file.tar.gz

and on the other:

$ airpipe > file.tar.gz

$ airpipe free-music < song.mp3

In the terminal to share:

$ script -f /tmp/log

and in another terminal:

$ tail -F /tmp/log | airpipe my-terminal

and then on the remote side just type

airpipe

This is actually what airpipe does by default!

$ airpipe hello-ken
hey, how goes?
good thanks making some vegan pizza
ooo rad

$ arecord -f cd | airpipe chat | aplay -f cd

you could also use lower quality audio for slower connections:

$ arecord -r 8000 -f U8 | airpipe chat | aplay -r 8000 -f U8

(This example is Linux-only!)

In one terminal:

$ ffmpeg -f alsa -ac 2 -f x11grab -r 25 -i :0.0 -vcodec mpeg2video -ar 44100 -s wvga -y /tmp/video.mpg

In another:

$ airpipe screen < /tmp/video.mpg
