'''This stupid little script I use all the time to make perfect rice in my instant pot.
I also have a Siri Shortcut in the event that I'm near my HomePod, or other Apple devices.
https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/c67d4960a15b42d6afb0cc58c649ff03 Just tell Siri, Cook Rice.

It makes the perfect white rice in your pressure cooker or instant pot.

How I use it, is to use a kitchen scale to weigh my inner pot (which is always 1102 grams,
but added in the formula in the event I find myself at someone else's house and need to make some perfect rice).

I then weigh my rice individually to get the weight.  I then wash my rice in multiple changes of water until it runs clear.

Mac and Linux work the same, storing the keys in ~/.gnupg. The safest way to transfer the files is using scp (part of ssh):

To copy from your local machine to another:
scp -rp ~/.gnupg othermachine:

To copy from a remote machine to your local:
scp -r othermachine:~/.gnupg ~

If you're on the machine that already has the key:

I banged rocks together and came up with this.  I was needing a quick way to do age encryption/decryption for various files.

Dropped this in my ~/.bash_profile.

age_encrypt()
{
pub_key=$(cat ~/.config/age/pubkey.pub.age)
if [ -f $1 ] ; then
    case $1 in
    *.age)  echo "'$1' is not a valid file" && return 1 ;;

What is it?

DataSync fully automates the data transfer. It comes with retry and network resiliency mechanisms, network optimizations, built-in task scheduling, monitoring via the DataSync API and Console, and CloudWatch metrics, events and logs that provide granular visibility into the transfer process. DataSync performs data integrity verification both during the transfer and at the end of the transfer.

DataSync provides end-to-end security, and integrates directly with AWS storage services. All data transferred between the source and destination is encrypted via TLS, and access to your AWS storage is enabled via built-in AWS security mechanisms such as IAM roles. DataSync with VPC endpoints are enabled to ensure that data transferred between an organization and AWS does not traverse the public internet, further increasing the security of data as it is copied over the network.

You will need to define a source account and bucket, and a dest
