"High quality" Google photos backups do a reasonable job resizing to 15MP, but they put your metadata into a blender when you try to download via Google Takeout or their API. While you still have your originals from all those lapt

Know that you can spend $50-75 and get a 1TB 2.5" external drive, or ~$100-150 for a larger 4-6TB 3.5" drive, but if you've got several computers at home, a NAS is really convenient, as it lets your files be wirelessly availa

I've had several beta users of PhotoStructure share with me how they got all their slides and prints digitized. It's seems like there's really only two ways: 1. Do it yourself. One of my beta testers has had good results with

PhotoStructure (very happily) uses libvips (via sharp) and doesn't include any ImageMagick pieces-parts.

If your Bitwarden credentials are compromised, though, all your accounts are available. Much better to keep TOTP credentials in Authy, secured with a password that isn't in Bitwarden.

Many companies have tried this in the past: make sure you make different mistakes from those predecessors.

OnePlus has promised system updates for several years (we'll see). The 7 pro main camera is on par with the pixel 2.

Unless they only have one engineer, adding a new feature is not at the expense of fixing one bug.

PhotoStructure is a self-hosted DAM that runs on macOS, Windows, Linux, or Docker and exposes a fun, novel web UI to browse extremely large libraries quickly. I've focused first on fixing my own disorganized mess of many hard drives fr

Unsplash is an amazing service (my website uses many, with credit), but the tags are often wrong. Have you thought about letting the creators and people with sufficient "karma" downvote incorrect tags, and suggest new tags (perhap

Yes, exiftool is better. Exiftool will also run on all files in a directory (not onesie-twosie), and is trusted software that's been around for 20 years.

For photos and videos, you can try PhotoStructure. I wrote it because I was in exactly your situation: a pile of hard drives, and no coherent organization. It won't handle deduping other files types, though. https://photostr

Ah, sorry: I was talking about Google Photos, not Digikam. I haven't played with Digikam's metadata handling much, so thanks for that tip.

No. I'd love to be wrong, btw: please correct me if I'm wrong. (I've looked at the sidecars from takeout, and the API). You might be able to scrape the metadata via puppeteer, but that's brittle and janktastic.

I'd say PhotoStructure. (Disclaimer: I may be biased).

It's a dubious default, though. Why muck with tags from originals when you don't have to?
