    There are some useful options which can be found in the rsync manual although knowing which are redundant or conflicting can be tricky. If you run with the ‘n’ option first it will dry run, then you can remove the n to do the needful.

    rsync -navhP --no-compress --ignore-existing --mkpath source dest
    
    -n dry-run, no changes are made
    -a is for archive, which recursively preserves ownership, permissions etc.
    -v is for verbose, so I can see what's happening (optional)
    -h is for human-readable, so the transfer rate and file sizes are easier to read (optional)
    -P show progress
    --no-compress as there's no lack of bandwidth between local devices
    --ignore-existing will skip updating files that exist on receiver 
    -r is recursive, included in -a
    --mkpath will create the destination's path component
    


  • Never watched Designated Survivor before and just started it, an itch in my brain is being scratched. The itch gets worse when I see how useless Congress is.

    Only a handful of the GOP are onboard the Epstein discharge petition, make sure to call your GOP House rep and ask why they’re protecting kid diddlers.

    Or why they are doing nothing about the largest bribe in history to a president. Not to mention the foreign emoluments that he’s now expanded to crypto.

    And while I’m pissed off, it used to be the president would propose a budget, and Congress would make unpopular votes to pass a bill transferring wealth to the top. They found this was too much work and posing a threat to their reelections, so now the Congress shall propose budgets and the president will bring the efficiency of ignoring any parts of the budget which do not benefit the wealthy. No longer will they have to worry about whatever amendments or concessions were made to get the paper tiger formality of a bill passed.
