Thanks, rclone looks like an ideal primitive for a weekly cron job!

Have fun :) Might also wanna print out some of the especially sentimental ones on archival paper, just in case the interwebs all go kaput.

  Haha is all go kaput a term native speakers use and understand? Sound a lot like german "kaputt" for broken... I tend to burn blurays and put them to my parents :-)

    Brits say "kaput" in informal speech - OED says we pinched it from German. Not sure if it's common in US English.

    Huh, I never really thought about it, lol. It was just the first thing that came to mind. I'm in the US and I think it hear it from time to time, but usually in silly contexts. It's just a fun word to say... we probably butcher the pronunciation, but we say kah-poot, like a sneezing owl.

      This is so cool. A little context: In germany we sometimes try to be funny (in a nice way - not making fun of native speakers but more of ourselves not being able to translate something), when we translate german phrases to english word-by-word ignoring english grammar resulting in total nonsense. The closest comparable native speaker thing to do I can think of is "I can has cheezburger"[1] For example: A german artist / comedian named Helge Schneider took the german phrase ich brech' zusammen which would really translate in I collapse but word by word it goes I break together I => ich break => brechen together => zusammen which must be total nonsense to native speakers. He even took it a little further and replaced break (brechen) with brake (bremsen) to make it even more nonsense - probably only germans can really understand what's really meant [2]. Your phrase is pretty similar for german people (but more understandable to native speakers) - "das Internet geht kaputt" => "the internet will break", but word by word it is: the interwebs all go kaput the interwebs => das Internet goes => geht kaput => kaputt Thank you for responding, I did not know that this was a thing - probably interesting for linguists how this came back to native speakers. 1: https://icanhas.cheezburger.com/ https://icanhas.cheezburger.com/ 2: https://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000KLRUNY/ https://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000KLRUNY/

Be careful with rclone sync It might not work as expected and deletes things... Read the docs carefully. Maybe start using rclone copy first and backup the downloaded files. I prefer self-hosted, but besides immich , there is ente.io , which is saas or self-hosted

  Thanks! In general with this kind of thing I'd run two separate processes: one that makes copies with write permission to the destination and another that verifies a copy exists then deletes the original with write permission to the source.
