Thanks for the reply. I’m going to look at photo rapid downloader, and pull up darktable.

I wasn’t sure if Garry was commenting on his own code, or someone was calling Garry out on Garry’s code. Either way, your comment works.

I’m so out of my comfort zone, I was just wondering if people knew of an obvious way of dealing with media. My idea is to be able to edit videos/pictures from <date> to <date>, or call up all videos/pictures with a tag that labels things like people, place, why, et. al. I don’t think it’ll take very long to get something working just using a quick script, I’ve done similar before. 99% of the time I find I like my solution better, but then there are things like Calibre. Sure I could, and have, hacked up something to manage my books, but it wouldn’t be as good or as easy as just using Calibre.

This is what I was going to do. I didn’t know if there was someway of doing it “better”. In lieu of some obvious way of doing it, I was going to do the naming file format, and then write a quick little preview/tagging script.

Mine is best for me. I started with an rpm based distro in the late 90s. I tried out gentoo when it first came out. Spent a little time, maybe a year, on Arch years and years ago. I go back to mine because it works, hasn’t caused an issue for me in years, and I don’t like having to dick around learning new systems anymore.

I’m on Debian as well. No reason to run stable, unless you’re running some production box.

If you are wondering why yours didn’t work (I used your command exactly), maybe old yt-dlp?

In less than eight weeks, California will compel thousands of companies across the nation to speak on the deeply controversial topic of climate change

Controversial? Only to morons and dipshits. It’s like me saying I don’t think clouds actually have water in them, and then that opinion is said to be controversial, not factually wrong.

Copyparty is easy, but if you can both set up syncthing, that makes it a breeze. I have a sibling that lives across the Pacific and last time they visited I set up syncthing on their laptop and when either of us wants to share something, we just drop it in that folder and wait a minute or two.
