Another one I haven't heard of. I'll look into it. Thanks for the suggestion!

I think the collection is between 500Gigs and a TB at this point but could easily grow quickly if I manage to get other family members to use whatever solution I come up with.

There's no edgy photos in the collection but as of right now I don't trust any cloud storage provider not to use my photos or videos for something like training AI, which I'm apprehensive about considering many of the photos are of my nieces and nephews and other family members. I don't want to make a choice that compromises someone elses privacy. I might be a little crazy. /shrug.

I know proton drive is encrypted such that even they can't see what's stored there but I can't play video back from there easily and I want the collection to be used and viewed easily. Otherwise what's the point?

 

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!

Anyone else hear The Crystal Method's song "Trip Like I Do" when reading the title of this post?

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

I did. XD. I did it on duckduckgo with safe search turned off and didn't even find anything. Was a little disappointed tbh. Apparently nobody wants to see porn of Trump. But rule 34 states that if it exists theres porn of it. So if there's no porn of Trump does that mean he's not even real? o.O

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.

Go listen to Sentient a few more times while thinking about what you've done to those poor bugs and tell me again that Factorio doesn't make you feel anything.

It's not Jonathan Frakes' hometown. It's Riker's hometown.
