BackDrop VS gallery-dl

I made BackDrop to solve this. If I have, for example, two folders and two drives, and one folder fits on each drive, I don't want to fill one drive and then spill over to the second drive if it means splitting one folder between two drives. I want the cleanest way possible to copy data to as few drives as possible without splitting folders if they don't need to be.

Just leaving this here in case it could be of some use. https://github.com/TechGeek01/BackDrop

I wrote BackDrop a while back. While this was originally because I was looking for a way to backup to external drives where the data being backed up was larger than the drives, and required splitting between more than one drive, it's evolved since.

For manual copies, TeraCopy is awesome, cause you can have it verify files for you. I did actually write my own tool, though that was mostly so that I didn't have to think about handling not all files fitting on one drive (5-6TB of stuff, and a mix of 2-4TB drives). It may or may not suit you, but feel free to give it a look if you're interested. Currently it was designed to back up folders on a network share to a bunch of local drives, so unfortunately, it won't show local drives for source selection (though I'm working on making it able to do that).

If you want to grab all the images and videos take a look at gallery-dl, found here https://github.com/mikf/gallery-dl

My question is about the docs. Here is the link to gallery-dl on github. from what i see it's kept up-to-date. I'm trying to download a post from ig through any method. Also thinking of creating a configuration-file if necessary. My OS: windows 10, i have worked with a cli before but on linux and my knowledge is very superficial. I have managed to use this tool on other websites like pinterest but can't think of any solutions for instagram as of now. The errors i get are about using the authentication method and when trying to set the cookies-from-browser option.

I could set up a redirect to the '/raw/' pages but then the syntax highlighting is gone.

The same page is perfectly viewable over plain html on gothub[2] though.

Github also seems to be hiding their "Assets" (binaries et al) on the "/releases" page for some projects behind javascript(especially older versions).[3] Something else that wasn't the case about ~1.5 years ago.

Would be great if gothub could unshackle the links to those as well[4], but that appears to not be working at the moment[5] .

This project appears to be a more performant(measurably so), more privacy friendly(as Microsoft won't have a record of your interest in certain projects) alternative front-end for "non logged in" github users.

I like it, but it still needs work.

since it's primarily a picture/video platform, you can use gallery-dl to scrape the feeds you want to follow if you provide authentication, and you should be able to write the captions and stuff to metadata files, but not sure how you'd display it in a useful way.

you could use gallery-dl to do this as well.

gallery-dl (CLI based) focuses on images.

Maybe there is a way to set specific configs only for reddit gallery images, but I'm not sure how it works. Gallery-dl's documentation did not help me, and I also tried to find information from the source code.

You can try image scraping with something like gallery-dl or grabber. I use grabber for stuff off of booru style sites (anime weeb shit), and grabber for everything else. The challenge with these tools is:
