Exporting cookies without an extension?

Doing the whole --cookies-from-browser thing doesn't seem to be worth it, anymore; after 10 or so downloads, it's a wrap. Hit the FAQ, found what I believe to be the most relevant bit. Which says:

> Do NOT use the --cookies COOKIEFILE --cookies-from-browser BROWSER method (as described in the above FAQ link) to export your cookies to a cookiefile. This will export all of your regular browser cookies, but not the cookies from this private/incognito YouTube session. Instead, use one of the browser extensions recommended in the FAQ.

I'd really rather not install any more extensions than I have to, especially with one of those extensions turning out to be malware (which I know management was one of the first to warn about, I'm just explaining why I'm not a fan of extensions generally!). That FAQ does say "one way to do this" - any others?

Can I get some help navigating the ins & outs of gallery-dl?

Hoping some veteran data hoarders can help smooth out some of the kinds I've had exploring gallery-dl the first time. So far I'd like to know, for archiving X:

  1. Any way to make the destination directory as you set it? Something like -D [insert bash magic to mkdir desired folder here...], instead of what I'm currently doing ( mkdir DIR; gallery-dl -D /path/to/DIR)?
  2. Set it up so that it downloads the associated text as well? I know this is done in config file(s), but I'm A) not sure if you're supposed to make the relevant folders/files yourself or not, as I can't find them, & B) listing -K as described here isn't working for: https://x.com, x.com, https://twitter.com, twitter.com, "https://x.com". So clearly I'm missing something.

Probably unnecessarily scared of wget's spider function

Trying to find a way to have wget check (maybe in the background?) the size of a website before I attempt to archive it. So if I wanted to run wget -m -k https://example-web.site, I want a script that'll guesstimate how much space it'll take. I found this, with this as the main script; dunno why you'd install the script when you can just copy-paste it into an executable file, but maybe I'm missing something.

So I was about to do that, when I came across this:

> ...--spider option i think unexpectedly deletes all files on disk and so my download of many Gigabytes and thousands of files was being accidentally deleted by this feature. so i run the command in a temporary directory to stop this behavior from accidently deleting files.

And now I'm petrified. Please advise!

Apparently that's damn near the anthem "za nas bošnjake" as one relative put it, but I just heard about this song. It's a very nice song, don't get me wrong, but what's the significance/history behind it?

Apparently that's damn near the anthem "za nas balije" as one relative put it, but I just heard about this song. It's a very nice song, don't get me wrong, but what's the significance/history behind it?
