I find it very pleasant to look through these folders and hope I’ve got everything this time. Cleaning it all up has been on my to-do list for the past 5 years or so :/
The same plan with regards to tagging my thousands of photos worked out great! Without me needing to anything else, auto-tagging has gotten good enough that I can find images that had been lost under some IMG_xxxx.JPG filename for years. I'm looking forward to being able to explore my history onion of folders at my leisure soon enough. :)
13 years and counting. But I’m sure I’ll eventually clean mine up
Getting vicuna or alpaca for this could be the best decision for those that want to keep their data.
Could you imagine the space saving you can achieve by a system that constructs a real normalized duckdb database with zstd compression and join tables and all from your big dump of tar.xml.gz files? Automagically converting all of your media to AV1 and Opus to save space and remove any private codec reqs? Clear collation with directory choices similar to Linux style?
