    My lazy way is NGINX with autoindex.

    If it's to go over untrusted network (e.g.: internet, school network) I use SSH for port forwarding. Lazy encryption.

    Something like this works just fine:

    worker_processes 1;
daemon off;
events {
}
http {
        default_type application/octet-stream;
        server {
                root /storage/emulated/0/sharedfile;
                listen 127.0.0.1:30000;
                location / {
                      autoindex on;
                }
        }

}

    sharedfile is a directory with the files.
    On remote machine if I am not mistaken

    ssh -L 127.0.0.1:8080:127.0.0.1:30000 username@host

    Then just access it in web browser on 127.0.0.1:8080 or whatever port you chose.
    In PuTTY you can find this under "Tunnels".

    Of course, you need to have SSH server set up as well.

    Few days ago over an imaginary situation lasting 8 hours. I did write it all down, and I still have it saved, but it's pretty weird.

    I wrote this down shortly after and it's just been residing in a note-taking app. Perhaps you could consider it NSFW since it discusses death in not the best manner.
    I'll just plop it here into a spoiler if you want to read it:

    Fucked up text

    So, we had a discussion on 1st aid also involving CPR. Apparently mouth-to-mouth is also required where I live.

    I tried to imagine such a situation, and over the course of around 8 hours spiralled into worse and worse thoughts as I kept overthinking every aspect of it more and more.
    I'll try to just lay them into separate points:

    1. I was thinking about how I'd approach the rescue breaths (mouth-to-mouth). I realized that this would likely end up being a problem for me. It would be hard to encourage myself into it, in the end wasting a lot of precious time letting the person's brain starve of oxygen. I don't know why, but this part feels very hard even to just imagine.
    2. I started thinking of what if I was that person. Problem is, I would want to just die. This would be an opportunity without me having to do anything myself, and of course there would be no physical way to regret it.
    3. What if that imaginary person would feel the same? (DNR doesn't exist where I live) I feel like forcing someone to live against their will is the worst thing I could do to someone.
    4. What if I was actually causing more harm even physically? Combine the point 3 with hypoxia causing permanent brain damage. That would make matters even worse. I got to the conclusion that this point goes both ways, because it could also be caused by not doing CPR if the ambulance got there quick enough to still save the person, even if with severe brain damage at this point, as opposed to just permanent death.
    5. Not being able to handle it, what if I tried to exit it by killing myself, perhaps by jumping under a truck? I felt like this would be most morally correct as it wouldn't leave me alive.
    6. That could traumatize the driver or even escalate the existing accident.
    7. At this point I was just exhausted, alternating between crying and feeling rage towards myself.
    8. I took my dog for a walk which finally allowed me to calm myself down.

    I don't know how I'd deal with this in reality. Of course I wouldn't have 8 hours to overthink everything.

    Of course, this is just imagination with lots of overthinking, but I often spiral into thoughts like this. It feels like I am internally fighting myself about what's right and what isn't. Twice I got into such thoughts so much I couldn't physically stand until I calmed down at least a bit.

    Sup.
    I am an awful person.

    Well, this sets a new level of recent here judging by the comments.

    Desktop OS: Linux Mint 20 MATE. Yep, that's right. I only got my first proper computer in 2020.
    Thankfully, I had to install the OS myself, which was of course preceded by choosing an OS.
    I had Windows 10 on that laptop for 2 days which served me to compare different OSs and burn the install DVD. I had no flash drives, and just dug out one old DVD-RW. OK, I'll be honest, hearing about Linux first I was searching for "just Linux", pure Linux, not derivatives. Oh well, GNU+Linux copypasta actually being helpful.

    Alright, but why did I "have" to install an OS if I got it with Windows? It was used. I did reset it, but even though it was my first proper PC, I had no lack of paranoia. I thought that someone before me could have put spyware on that.
    And I was right. Not the way I thought, but I was. That someone was Microsoft.

    Lemmy.

    I do prefer the size of Reddit, but I am continuing the API changes protest. Sup, that's it. If they reverse it, I might return, although the UI has changed again. Wouldn't mean I'd leave Lemmy, just use both.
    I haven't actually used it with 3rd party apps, I used to do the same as I am doing right now, desktop website on my phone, but I do support the protests and I am not giving up after 2 days.

    Keeping my systems (laptop, smartphone,...) properly maintained and functional (software-wise).

    They are always just a barely functioning mess hanging on a last thread. Getting around bugs instead of finding fixes, ignoring non-critical errors, using 50 simpler tools instead of 1 more complicated one because it feels easier at first, holding off-of updates because it absolutely will break something in my stupid setup, doing something in a simpler stupider alternative way instead of doing it properly,...

    Basically a software equivalent to old beaten up laptop you got for free that has broken plastic fixed with duct tape, few broken keys, half of the screen's backlight not working and charging connector holding on velcro.
