Is this a real UX, or something you'd like? (This isn't how either Apple or Google Photos works)

For photos on your website, are you talking about resizing, presentation, or stripping metadata? For resizing and metadata stripping, try the "sharp" npm package. It's fast, well documented, and based on libvips. For pulling

@kentbeck, you might want to fix the medium link in that YouTube video description. It 404s for me. Kudos for pushing best practices!

Nice. Also, if you make the css transition for what bits flip on ++ and -- slowish, you can see what's going on.

Some of us are working on solutions that keep one of the biggest metadata streams, your photos and videos, off the FAANG. At least it's a choice you can make, even today. That still leaves medical and financial records, which is a tang

I dual-boot my Mac mini (different Mojave and Catalina setups) off of a USB-C external enclosure with a 1tb m2 SSD. Boot time is a bit slower off the external drive, but it's workable.

I wouldn't conflate their general motives nor their data handling policies between their b2b offerings and their b2c offerings.

I'd love to use Postgres with PhotoStructure, but it would triple the installation size (!!), make my code more complicated (I'd basically need to automate common dba work), and Windows support is shaky (last time I checked, at le

Don't worry, progress has taken care of that too. Many fixtures are now via LED, soldered onto the fixture and not repairable/replaceable.

I salute your efforts and gesture. I've been surprised through the years by how many people in my life turned out to be recovering alcoholics. It's not a part of people's lives that they're generally eager to share with

Getting your photos and videos swept into one tidy pile, with a fast, fun website that you host is what I’m building. Read more here: https://photostructure.com/about/introducing-photostructure/

Yes. See my replies above.

FWIW, when printing film (which would then be used to expose plates, which would then be loaded on a standard web offset press), the dpi doesn't change when rendering film. Smaller dots allow for a finer-grained halftone pattern. You&#

Can confirm that those high dpi numbers are real. (I paid for my last year in college rendering film for offset press on a 25'x6'x6' monster scitex film printer). Although the plate or film is rendered at 1600/2400/

In my setup it was slower and more resource intensive. SyncThing is open source, though.

Just an FYI: if your Takeout archive fails with errors, try creating multiple archives, with only one large service selected per archive. My photos archive didn't even work that way, I had to create albums and back then up one by one.

I use Resilio Sync, and have tried SyncThing. Both work. They both have an app you run in your phone, and a companion app you run on macOS, Windows, Linux, or your NAS, and it syncs (even through a NAT) whatever you've configured to ba

If you don't go with a static site generator (like Hugo), make sure you stay on top of security updates. Even if you go with a static generator, don't forget to harden your droplet and set up automatic system security updates. Whe

At least for my Google Pixel, my "original quality" files from Takeout do not match the SHA of the original files pulled from the device. They kept the pixels, but they mucked with the EXIF headers. I'm happy if your files we

Unfortunately, at least in my experience with several different accounts, the Takeout metadata is mostly deleted, and sometimes outright changed, from the original files. I try to infer, interpolate, and recover what I safely can during Pho

If you spin up a digital ocean droplet for $4/mo, then enable droplet backups for $1/mo, you'd be able to use rsync proper. Any hosting service would serve this task, but follow hardening guides and move ssh off of port 22. I

I use todoist, with projects per major component to keep things organized, to capture ideas for feature development. Todoist supports group collaboration and has commenting per item. I use GitHub/Gitlab's issue tracking for bugs.

Your data and metadata stays on servers you own. PhotoStructure is software, not SaaS, in other words. PhotoStructure is free during the beta, which will be ending early next year. There will be both free and paid subscription tiers.

1) scan at a reasonable resolution. Don't scan less than 4k resolution (3840x2160), and not more than 200-300 dpi for the largest print you'd want to make (really, an 8x10 print will look fine at 150dpi, which is only 1200x1500, b
