I do cull photos and docs but it takes effort and you will make mistakes. On the other hand, intelligent culling makes it easier to find things.
It’s a trade off especially with digital where there’s not that much cost associated with holding onto things relative to the physical world. My whole house is basically in storage because of a kitchen fire and I’m planning to be pretty selective about what I move back in.
- InsideOutSanta 2y ago>intelligent culling makes it easier to find things That's true, but things get easier to find over time. I have thousands of digital photographs from the 1990s that I burned on CDs and then copied to a NAS later. Today, for the first time, they're actually searchable because they're now indexed in Immich. So they're sorted by the person in them and searchable by their contents. If I had culled the photos back then, I would have lost many photos that have become searchable (and thus valuable) only recently.
