You might not even like rsync. Yeah it’s old. Yeah it’s slow. But if you’re working with Linux you’re going to need to know it.

In this video I walk through my favorite everyday flags for rsync.

Here’s a companion blog post, where I cover a bit more detail: https://vkc.sh/everyday-rsync

Also, @BreadOnPenguins made an awesome rsync video and you should check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eifQI5uD6VQ

Lastly, I left out all of the ssh setup stuff because I made a video about that and the blog post goes into a smidge more detail. If you want to see a video covering the basics of using SSH, I made one a few years ago and it’s still pretty good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FKsdbjzBcc

    I’m not reading all that. Sorry for your issue, or I’m happy for you. Whichever you prefer.

      Partakes in text-based medium. Refuses to read well written and polite comment that is four whole paragraphs. Proceeds to think they are the intelligent one in the conversation. Are you huffing glue right now?

      you should. they were polite unlike you. explained the origin of the term and how it was used. explaining that they were aware of how hobbyists have changed the definition etc. it was a decent post. frankly I’m kind of curious why your so hateful. but not enough to really care.
