I made some more rsync URLs:

• rsync://isidore.co/Physics
• rsync://isidore.co/Audiobooks
• rsync://isidore.co/ResProDeo

Thanks! For those needing a refresher, the other two rsync links are here, and the rough storage needed to mirror the libraries are:

• CalibreLibrary: 197 GB
• Zotero: 3 GB
• Physics: 1 GB
• Audiobooks: 3 GB
• ResProDeo: 36 GB

Is there a way to mirror the contents of https://isidore.co/misc/ (where both these archives are housed) in a way similar to CalibreLibrary and Zotero? My programming knowledge is limited, but I'm able to get rsync to work.

I was just curious if something exists that can translate whole documents like DeepL.

Google Translate can all do entire documents.

Nothing in particular; Google Translate handles sentences and paragraphs pretty well for Latin to English. I was just curious if something exists that can translate whole documents like DeepL.

other than Google Translate

What's wrong with Google Translate for Latin→English?

Is there a translation service (other than Google Translate) that handles Latin? Unfortunately, I don't see that as an option on DeepL.

Prümmer, O.P., Manuale Theologiæ Moralis, PDF pp. 529-30 (§§8-9) on ius auctoris (author rights):

All teach, indeed, that it is pure and putrid theft if one secretly steals other manuscripts, artifacts, or artifacts not yet published, because the legitimate owner is reasonably unwilling on account of the serious damage and serious injury inflicted on him. But when the manuscript is already printed, or if the invention (commonly known as a Patent) has already been divulged, theologians debate whether a new printed book without the author's permission or an imitation of the invention is contrary to natural law and there be an obligation for restitution. Some deny it, because once the work has been divulged, it has become the common good, which can be lawfully occupied by all [cf. esp. Bucceroni, Theol. mor. I, n. 878; somewhat Morres, De iust. I, n. 24; Vermeersch, De iust. n. 246 sqq.]; but the more general and truer opinion affirms it, with the restrictions indicated by the positive law.
