looks interesting. I'll check it out. Thanks for the suggestion!

 

I'm looking for suggestions for programs to help manage an archive of family photos and video clips. I have a large family and a few photographers can pump out a lot of photos at family events. I've sorta become the unofficial archivist of the family as I have a lot of photos and videos myself and I've become responsible for my parent's collection as well as they are not very tech savvy.

I'm kinda distrustful of cloud storage in general so I'm kinda looking to avoid using something like Google photos or even Proton Drive. I'd also like to try and stick to open source if I can. At this point I don't think my ideal program exists but I'm going to describe it and see how close we could get. Sorry if the following sounds too much like fantasy.

Ideally I'd like a program that could synchronize a media collection across the internet to 3 or 4 different households. For one thing so that there is redundancy if something bad like a fire happens so nothing is lost, and for another thing so that those households have local access to the archive. I'm hoping I wouldn't be needing any crazy hardware for this. Something like a raspberry pie with an attached spindle Drive would be acceptable, both for low power use and small physical footprint in the houses of family members I would be asking to host these.

Ideally some program could be used to interact with the archive locally and do things like add new media, edit metadata of media that's already in the archive or just view things.

That's it, Lemmy know what you guys think!

This entire video is gesturing hands in front of an apple computer. So fun!

Its sad that your perfectly logical and objective comment got downvoted. Thanks for speaking truth that people dont want to hear.

Plot twist: 4th period was the teacher's prep period. The teacher burned themself while trying to work out how to keep students from burning themselves.

I have 0.0.52 on my phone from F-droid and it's still locked out. What version fixes the issue?

Hey, thumb-key is really cool! I've been using it for a bit and it has solved my issue of constantly fat-fingering wrong letters into what I'm trying to type on other keyboards. I just want to say thanks for developing it and keep up the good work!

Being a millennial, sitting in my parents house where I live reading this shit makes me want to just give up. I don't even feel like I want something outrageous. Just a little shoe box unit to call my own and I can't afford it even with a job that pays a decent wage. Man, fuck property investors.

Man, this is depressing. How could someone be convinced that this is an okay thing to do? I mean, even if there were boys competing, they're pre-pubescent 9 year olds. How much advantage could a boy have over a girl?
