I want to make a script or scripts to auto backup but have no experience making any scripts and would appreciate any help or input. Some outlines

script -Make a backup of my Main folder in another folder in my home directory named Backups every 6 hours and keep only 12 backups at a time(3 days). Each backup is timestamped with data and time along with name Main

-Make a backup of my Main folder to my internal hard drive every 6 hours and keep only 12 backups at a time((3 days). Each backup is timestamped with data and time along with name Main

-Take the latest backup folder and create an encrypted tar file from it.Use rclone to upload the tar file to my google drive every 3 days.Each backup is timestamped with data and time along with name Main

Optional -Configure some kind of notification system to inform me to make an offline backup to my external hard drive/USB thumb drive once a week(it would be nice if can i sync the notifications between my PC and Android phone but not sure if that's possible)

-Is there a way to do incremental backups for the first two backups

Software i know of -rclone(i use it manually upload my encrypted backups to my google drive)

-BorgBackup(the one in Linux mint repo is outdated thought 1.2.8v instead of 1.4v)

-rsync

-FreeFileSync

-duplicity(also outdated 2.1.4v instead of 3.0.4)

why is it that the USA holds such power over the world now and not the UK who histrionically dominated most of it? (programming.dev)
 

This is a question has been bothering me as someone who's country was colonized by the British Empire. We were taught about it in schools and how it lost power over time but never how the USA came to take its place especially over such a short compared to the British Empire.

Right now I am watching bros(https://letterboxd.com/film/bros/) and its a chore to get through.Its half about modern queer culture and half gay romcon

Right of the bat, its loud and obnoxious and has south park style of "comedy" where it hits you over the head with the joke until you get it.There is a scene around where i am at the moment, where i thought for a sec it was gonna be a little subtle about it until the next shot and that's when know there isn't a subtle bone in this film. It also tries to cram in every possible thing said in relation to LGBTQ+ under the sun by which i mean the writers' twitter feed and has very little if anything to say about any of it. Its also one step way from adding a laugh track,characters react in that uncanny way that characters react in sitcoms react when the main cast say something offensive/outrages or off-putting. The main character feels like a pessimistic/angry Christmas hating atheist plunged out of one of those Christian Christmas movies.
