Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I have two computers with Windows 10. Preferably the simplest option, so that at the other end people with minimal IT competence can figure it out

What about a torrent? You'll have to encrypt with 7zip or something to keep it secure, but that and qbitorrent will do the trick.

through the public BitTorrent tracker, I'll try it too, thanks

It’s too big for email, and likely too big for Dropbox or Gdrive unless you have a paid account with them.

That means you’re going to have to get slightly technical. Find a freeware SFTP program that can spawn a server on the host, and connect to it from the client to download the file.

Good luck!

KDE Connect should do the trick

Open the file in a text editor and email the results

Syncthing? Never used it on Windows but they do have a client so it should work. That's the simplest I can think of.

Thanks, I corrected it

To peer, or not to peer. That is the question.
