Data Hoarder

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

Czkawka making my CPU earn its living by finding similar images in a folder with thousands of duplicates. Love this tool, it's a must for everyone in this sub. Thank you, /u/krutkrutrar! (alien.top)

This utility helps you find duplicate files, empty folders, images, videos, and music that are similar to one another, and much more. And it's free. Here's a link to the repository.

I used to use a program called NoClone, but it appears that somebody may have purchased it a while back and stopped development and made it kind of shady.

My old licensed version doesn't work very well, so I was looking for a replacement and as I have learned more and more about this program, I've been able to use it more and more effectively.

Edit: I should mention I'm a visual person, so I do use the GUI.
