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)

I use VisiPics. It's very old, but the algorithm is very good.

Yep, it's ancient but the algorithm is still good in 2023.

I thought it was open source but it seems it's just freeware? I was hoping someone would build a new front-end...unfortunately I lack the skills to do so.

Just tried this! It's either so efficient my CPU isn't working too hard or it focuses most of its work onto one CPU core. That said, I appreciate being able to identify the highest res version of a file, that helps a lot!
