0x0: Share Files from Terminal
I wish there was a command line program like this, but one that would make a torrent of that file [1] and return a magnet link for the torrent.
The next weak point is the centralization around the tracker. You can solve this by sharing all the tracker information on Nostr [2], maybe?

We use syncthing to share files between our machines. It avoids is having to use dropbox / OneDrive etc. You just choose a folder and it automatically syncs it in the background.

Ask HN: How best to sync a subset of my files with a friend?
I would use syncthing, which is open source at https://syncthing.net/.
After minimal setup, it just works(tm).
You have a normal directory in your filesystem, that is synced to the other peers (which you set up in the "minimal setup").
I have been using it for years, and it works well. It has no problems crossing os'es (i.e. windows -> linux, linux -> mac)
For windows I usually recommend https://github.com/canton7/SyncTrayzor, but vanilla syncthing works fine too (but don't try to mix them!)

Free and Open Source Alternative to Airdrop
Do consider Syncthing particularly if you are using Android. If using apple iOS you'd need the möbius sync client.

One thing that it beats the cloud / centralized sync on is because the connection is direct between devices when the initial transfer is completed the file is completely there on the other device. With a cloud type of sync you do the transfer twice. I've seen stack up on large media or with the structure of cloud services pricing making it expensive depending on how your workflow is setup with inside and outside parties. For example, Dropbox deduction from all parties' storage limits not just the sharer.
You can also point Syncthing at a local sync of Dropbox or Google drive and then forward the files to other recipients from that for some purposes.

Obsidian 1.5 Desktop (Public)
I think sync is a non-feature, as you can just ride on your existing solution.
For example, I use syncthing [1] with Obsidian to sync files off-cloud.

What do you use to write your fan fictions?
When I was 14 and just getting started, I used Notepad. Upgraded to Wordpad when I realized I loved putting italics in every other sentence, moved to Google Docs at around 25 when I started writing on my phone and wanted to sync with my computer, finally moved to Obsidian a few months ago (with Syncthing for syncing) when I decided I don't want to live in Google's house where they can burn my stuff down whenever they want.
