Heya! I'm the author of PhotoStructure, and my Google Photos account (before I started working on PhotoStructure) is about that size, too. I wrote up some tips here: https://photostructure.com/faq/takeout/ Th

SK Hynix is an OEM supplier for a bunch of brands, and seems to have good ratings across several different e-tailers. As for anecdata, I chew through SSDs due to high disk I/O loads from running continuous integration test suites for P

Nice. “Power cool” sounds so much better than “safety squints.”

His tool is in rust, so he can directly call the libraw function. ExifTool is a perl tool, so it'd be an external process that he'd need to coordinate with.

Freemium pricing is always a tricky balance. Your free tier should provide a modicum of value to entice people into installing your software, but ideally, it will also incentivize the users that are getting value from your efforts to remune

Certainly, but it depends on your goal. Models like CLIP ( https://openai.com/research/clip ) are designed to help describe images with an embedding, but are trained to give similar embeddings for similar image _content_

by mceachen 3y ago
Ah! In this case, you might be happy to discover that ExifTool just added an "image content" hash--it's the SHA (or MD5 or whatever) hash of the _actual image bytes_, after ignoring the metadata header (and possible footer) p

Unfortunately, (almost all!) image hashing don't detect color differences--they map images to greyscale first. This may be fine for many situations, but it will return the same result for a sepia tint, a full color original with incorr

Deduplicating by SHA (so, exactly the same bytes) is straightforward, and phototprism does that: https://docs.photoprism.app/user-guide/library/duplicates/ Unfortunately, if you've used Google Takeout or

I’ve been taking (digital) photos since 1999. I’ve got 350k unique images, but more than a million unique SHAs. I’ll maybe take a couple a day when out for a walk. 10-50 for an event. 20-30 for a big family gathering. My kids were always a

FWIW there are a _ton_ of apps for both iOS and Android that will back up your photos and videos to your home NAS/server. Whatever you go with, ensure the files aren't being mucked with during or after the transfer--Google Photos

Sorry, it’s been on my todo list for a while. The UI is pretty simple (by design): there's only the initial welcome and settings pages, the asset page, and the tag gallery. Screenshots are all on < https://photostructure.c

That's wonderful to hear! I actually had to stop using my own library to develop PhotoStructure, because I'd lose an hour or two just hopping through different memories. I think reminiscing and story telling is the real value prop

Not your OP, but I've got stories! PhotoStructure is a non-trivial app written in TypeScript for both frontend and backend tasks. Coming from Scala, I initially used a lot of Array.map, Array.foreach, and, to handle things like Some&#x

For the uninitiated, System 6-9 had "extensions" and "control panels," each of which could change OS-level behavior. Color display management, screen savers, font managers, TrueType support, Adobe's font support, or

PhotoStructure will definitely take care of deduplicating your photos and videos, but it doesn’t do other file types. I’d use the latest alpha build, by the way: I’ve made a ton of improvements from the stable release (I hope to promote the

Things were different, but I don't think it's universally better or worse. In 1992: - Every programmer had at least seen, and possibly even coded in, _every existing language_. I had college classes that touched on or taught COBOL

Yup, that's what I was trying to get at--I just tried to clarify that bit.
