Greetings NMGLUG et al, How to make the most of currently scarce internet access? How to keep meta information about the directories and files on the drives of different machines--but not the actual files--on a USB stick and then use the same USB stick to sync content between different computers? Mostly I'm concerned with housekeeping, keeping growing directories of podcasts and youtube videos organized (maybe 300 or 400 GB?). I also scrape websites and download a lot of pages. I looked at https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/57305/rsync-compare-directories#574..., but it gave me headache. I'll describe myself as being comfortable in the terminal and familiar but only minimally competent with bash and vim. I've got some foggy notions about how I might need to edit ls output and grep and redirect and pipe this into that but I'm no plumber. Or chef. So I'm looking for a recipe, not a sack of ingredients (apologies for the unfortunate mixing of metaphors.) Any pre-digested suggestions? (Sorry, can't seem to stop.) Thanks, Tom
