From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Rclone. Not because it's a complicated tool, but because I would like a history of my file transfers and a few graphs to show we what speeds, files sizes and whether the transfer succeeded. At the moment in order to confirm my home backups have succeeded, I have to run a separate size comparisons between my different datastores.
Probably not what you want, but rclone now has a simple web ui built in: https://rclone.org/gui/
I looked at it a few months back and it didn't have the history side of things, just the setup and realtime stats which I'd already got through the CLI. Thanks tho!
I feel like you can parse a --dry-run
Thanks. I think I looked at doing that when setting it up, and it was more expensive in terms of API calls. With a cloud vendor you have to be careful of that, so I opted for the SIZE command.
If it works it works
