It’s you, not them.

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.

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:

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

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.

fusion lol

dunno

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.
