The best advice was gratuitous.

good looking out.

Make a script. I’d use xonsh or python with sh.py.

• create a dict for remote to local filename map
• walk your local collection
  • for each file, determine what the correct remote name (including a valid extension) would be, and add the pair to the dict, with remote filenames as keys, local filenames as values
• make a set like local_munged_names from that dict’s keys
• walk your remote tree, and store the filenames in a set like remote_names
• names_to_upload = local_munged_names - remote_names
• for each name in names to upload, look up the local filename from the remote to local filename map. Then, encode it if it needs encoding, and upload.

came here to see if Fedora had a --download-only equivalent.

yes.

they do have a right to their beliefs. …and we have a right to treat them with equivalent respect to how they would treat us. How you treat others is implicit consent to be treated the same way by them, or by those they trust.

Moreover, we have a right to protect those who seek protection, if we deem that worthwhile, and the protectee does as well.

but they all have a right to think how they do- and attempting to eliminate that thought from the collective mind is both a: fighting from a weak position, and b: even if you manage to eradicate the kinds of thought that you seek to eradicate, you simply leave yourself and those of the next generation susceptible to it.

Instead, you need to incorporate it. …Like one would with anger. It’s not wise to follow anger (and many emotions) directly. But they do indicate a problem that you may need to address. But if you simply try to stamp it out because “anger bad”, you’ll end up an absolute wreck spreading anger with everything you do.

…except to those who only use it as a tool to recognize when something’s wrong.

I think you will be rehabilitated, in time, because you want to control how people think. …and people who think doing so is a solution are, themselves, a danger to society, and they are susceptible to control by bad actors. Fortunately, they’re generally also a self-limiting problem.

I came here for this. with 200 dvds, you put the ripping system somewhere you pass by often. pop one out and pop one in whenever you happen to walk by.

you can rip all features - though that may not include the menus.

You really might want to consider using this:

Consensus reality can only be agreed upon in segments where there is an overlapping sensorium - so, those forming the consensus can only possibly agree about the segments of reality in which their sensorium overlaps.

But, in effect, the accepted consensus reality requires and is based on a least common denominator of sensory capability - our most physical and repeatable senses and experiences. This precludes the evolutionary process and non-repeatable phenomena, and embeds people in a mentality where certain kinds of growth aren’t even possible to intentionally engage in.

Use a three-dimensional tool, get three-dimensional results - and the kind of certainty the analytical mind seeks is definitively a three-dimensional tool.

Fortunately, the only time that truly matters is when we wish to change others minds - and they have a right not to change. Ultimately, there is a (very reasonable) unconscious sense in some people that they live on the brink of a wild, unimaginable chaos, and they’re not wrong. For as long as they can, they’ll avoid that through excessively-ordered thought and cultural systems (like science is used as, even though fundamentally, the scientific method is valid).

Anyways… …do as thou wilt (and live the result) is the whole of the law.

yes. and you can just use any distro that has gparted, like >!Ubuntu!< or similar.

meh

Huh. Yeah. I just probably did what was necessary and didn’t think about it too much, but that’s just because I’ve been using Linux for ages.

looks like the easiest way is if you have them on two separate drives. I don’t, they share an efi partition… … but, Windows has also overwritten things on there before, and I had to rescue the Linux side. Not most peoples’ cup of tea.

I didn’t remember doing that, but I’ve been using Linux for ages and might have shrugged that off and forgotten.

pop os. most apps you can right-click to run on discrete graphics card, and they tried to make it gamer friendly.

worth a shot, anyhow.
