I have shamelessly collected 35,000 pictures of various things (articles, news, artwork, irl pics, memes, etc. etc.) and I'm hoping to organize them over the next couple weeks. I know there's facial recognition software to sort pics, but is there anything for distinguishing memes vs article screenshots (they are very visually distinct) vs art, and so on?

Doesn't have to be anywhere 100% accurate, but it would definitely cut the time organizing it when I go back to manually sort them. Tried and true methods?

Highly appreciate any ideas

What do you think is the best option?

Wd 5tb is only $5 more expensive.

Anyone have any insights on how to get those 30-60gb drives cheap? No not steal. I’d be fine with 6 of the the 15.xx drives for raid6 with +/-40TB available. I’d love to get off spinning drives. Unfortunately everything is see is crazy expensive. As much as I like the speed I could live with not the fastest throughput (for SSD) I just want the low latency and hopefully if ever I have to rebuild an array speed during that seems critical. My current “issues” if they are that there’s about 4hrs a day when maintenance tasks run that the drives are pegged. It’s 4hrs because I’ve said that’s the window so there’s likely tasks going incomplete.

I’d like to do this for less than the price of a decent car 😳

i preety sure my 4 core, 8 gb, 128 gb disk vps will sufficient /s. really is that event possible, i really need offline recipe catalog and kiwix libray lets just say not sufficient enough for me.

So I recently moved from a Synology DS918+ with 32tb raw in SHR1 to a much more substantial machine with 2 x 10TB SATA zfs mirrors as my “fastpool” and 8x16tb SAS in a RAIDZ1 as my “slowpool” (plus lots of compute, plus NVME mirrors for databases, plus SATA SSD mirrors for containers).

But I need to find a much lower cost way than I’m currently doing. I need to get started on a JBOD approach with enough bays that I can buy inexpensive disks. But it also needs to live in “living space”, so it can’t be a rackmount 2U “screamer”. Maybe someday I can move to a real rackmount approach and get a 60-bay enclosure and populate with a bunch of 4TB drives (or maybe 8TB drives will be just as cheap by that point). But not today. And I’m not scrappy enough to do a full unraid “just get whatever and stick it in a box” - I’m probably going to stick with ZFS for now. So what’s my play? Are there any “quiet/small” rack mount boxes? Are there any desktop boxes that have real bay capacity? Where do you get drives that are reliable enough when you’re buying in bulk - are there “annual sales” or anything?

I need guidance so I can join you all.

Thanks.

Hi, I've been a data hoarder since the late 2000s but I wish I had been more of a data sorter in hindsight.

I have a collection of graphics design templates, photoshop resources, animations, sounds, mockups, stock photos, infographics, website templates, scripts, books, tutorials, the list goes on and on. I downloaded much of it at least 10-15 years ago.

Many of them are embedded in archives and most of them are named but I have no idea how to even begin to sort through everything.

I need some way to sort all of it into a readable library and I cannot do it myself, it makes me sick to even think about starting.

Can anyone recommend any software that can do this automatically?

I would appreciate any advice you can provide.

PS: I tried to rewrite this post using AI but I think people are pretty sick of that so I decided against it, hence why it sounds a little all over the place. Sorry.

With the (edited from "looming loss") funding cuts to NPR and PBS, what can the average person do to help archive important educational programming. I'm a teacher and want to use NPR materal and PBS materials in future lessons and am so worried these programs will get lost! For instance: the little kiddos I teach love when I incorporate Work it Out Wombats into the curriculum. It's an adorable show that teaches computational thinking and problem solving. We use tiny desk concerts as dance / decompression breaks. Any reccs for the best way to save materials intended to be used explixitly for educational purposes (and not resold of course)?
