As it says...
What's the simplest way to back up data to a cloud server and pull it
back down?
I have a new laptop. It's running vanilla Arch post install, I want to
pull down my configs and saved and backed up .config directory from my
old machine, but every provider I'm trying needs a browser window, it
seems like.
So is there any that I can run from a purely text mode install,
preferably from the repos or AUR that'll let me download my files? I'm
hoping there is because I, rankly, don't want to install a desktop for
just this one thing

for transfering you can use rsync or magick-wormhole

if you really want the cloud
rclone supports many providers.

But don't most of the providers (well okay I only tried dropbox/google
drive) need you to fire up a browser for getting a token to authorize
rclone?
Git sounds like a good idea. Essentially, fresh install, no desktop, and
still at that point where I want my stuff easily snaggable on any fresh
machine.
So how easy is it to make a git repo that only I can access? I mean,
rclone is fantastic.
But, I don't haave a browser on said machine to get tokens for rclone to
work so....

you can use another browser for that.

it's easy. just register on github or gitlab and create a privat repo.

Depends on how much data you're talking about and how much trouble you
want to go to.
You could simply spin up a VPS at any hosting provider you like and rsync
the files up there. This might cost you a few dollars a month, depending
on who you go with and what you want, but it might be simplest if you
don't want to mess with complicated authentication.
Cheers,
Geoff.

There is rclone which is like a rsync for cloud drives.
Here is the home page and a blurb about it:
https://rclone.org
Rclone mounts any local, cloud or virtual filesystem as a disk on Windows, macOS, linux and FreeBSD, and also serves these over SFTP, HTTP,
WebDAV, FTP and DLNA.
