What aspects of your older work do you not like? Is it your "eye" (subject framing), or technical details (like nonoptimal camera settings or wrong length glass), or something else? Thanks for sharing your other comments, btw.

Oof. Next time you need to renew, check the links from the msft authenticode dev website for ev certs. A couple providers are much less than $1500/yr. Also, when I got my renewal bill for something like $1500/yr for PhotoStructure

Interesting, thanks for sharing. I wonder what's different between our accounts and devices.

That's not my experience with a couple Google Pixels, using original quality. If you fetch your image via takeout or via the API, the image bytes are the same, but the EXIF headers have been changed. I've tried in both a standard

The gpio access requires a header cable routed out a slot in the base of the case. I have several pi in flirc cases, one is a pihole and one runs CI jobs (slowly) for PhotoStructure, and they don't get too hot even under sustained cpu

Google Photos isn't going to provide you with any authenticity claims, and metadata gets scrambled by both their "high quality" and "original" settings. If you want to make sure the actual, original image gets store

I'm building PhotoStructure to solve exactly this problem for my own family. You can read more here: https://photostructure.com/about/introducing-photostructure/ The main advice I'd give though, will be

I wrote the original typescript bindings for objection. One of the library authors is a contributor to knex.js, which objection uses for query building. Both are quite nice. With either library, you aren't writing naked SQL, but someth

I've used photos on an external drive, but it must be afs+, and don't expect it to keep working past ~100-200k images. My frustration with photos helped motivate me to write PhotoStructure.

PhotoStructure has image comparison heuristics that is used for deduping, but would enable pairwise similarity grouping. I'd tried some transfer learning in the past to rank photos, but found it to be unusably noisy. I'll be tryin

Simon! This is great spelunking. If you're frustrated by Photos corrupting its own library when it gets > couple hundred thousand assets, or you want to not be tied to Mac hardware, you might want to try PhotoStructure. (It has robu

You can run a pihole that delegates to a local cloudflared service.

As both an open source author/producer and consumer, I wish more projects were forthright about: 0) known defects 1) when the author no longer uses the library themselves 2) the repo is abandoned and alternatives are not given There&#x

The past couple decades (really! see JPEG2000!) have seen fairly regular introductions of new lossy image formats, but JPEG continues to win due to: 1. widespread support 2. "good enough" compression Formats that compress better,

I'm building it. You host it (either in your local computer or on a cloud droplet that you own), so your data stays yours. This last beta release is free in exchange for your feedback, then there will be free and paid subscription tier

At the same time, I'd much rather shop in a small neighborhood grocery store with 5-10 other patrons instead of 200. Trader Joe's and other retailers (at least in the bay area) have to delegate a full-time employee to the front do

Synology hardware is pretty close to what you're describing. Light on front goes from green to orange and you get an email, you plug in another drive, click a button in the GUI, and wait for the volume to reshard/resilver/rem

I'm hoping PhotoStructure solves this usecase when I add sharing in the next version. Note that PhotoStructure is focused on just photos and videos--it isn't a general file sharing solution. I'm looking into integrating with

I first try to explain the problem, and then potential solutions, to either a beta user or someone non-technical. I'm lucky to have a very patient wife regularly fill this role. If the solution is trivial and can be completed in an hou

As the author of a digital photo and video management system, it pains me to agree with you. PhotoStructure will get your piles of digital files organized, but it can't guarantee that the disk won't crash, that you have a backup,

At the same time, I had typeahead find and completion for method and variable names back in the 90s with vi/emacs and exuberant ctags. It didn't need that much cpu or ram mojo. We tend to use whatever is available.

Thanks for sharing, but that's yet another publisher I have to trust with "read and change your data on clients2.google.com, read your browsing history, manage your downloads." It'd be great if chrome and firefox allowed
