[Trigger warning]
A couple of years ago, @Jurrejelle and I were asked to host a lecture about the work that we did to help out next of kin when people take their life. It turned out that quite a lot of people in the industry who help out but are silent about it, just as we were.
You never advertise and you rather not do it, but somehow that kind of work seems to find you. You need to do it with multiple people and are required to be emotionally stable. I consider is similar with forensic work or performing key ceremonies.


This is the link to our lecture.

It contains QR codes that will help you or help you help others with suicidal thoughts.

Phone numbers / Training.

And as much as you want to help sometimes you won’t succeed. I have lost a few good friends/mentors.

This is the time to mansplain me! And as I do not believe in ChatGPT I am humbly asking you for help.

I have Terabytes of (backups of) Family pictures and iPhone backups. And I need to deduplicate them. I already came up with a solution but trying to improve the speed. 🧵
My issue is pictures will have new names, new dates, might be resized or rotated. So I start with the obvious. Create hashes of all the files using hashmyfiles. I ingest this data into a database. Then I use piexif to add some EXIF information to this database.
I move the images to \YYYY\YYYY-MM\YYYY-MM-DD and use different folders on the type e.g. EXIF | NOEXIF | JPG | NOJPG | AUDIO | VIDEO. Doing this on magnetic storage took too long so I improved the process by using Fast SSD.

Upon my "return" a thread to introduce myself.

First of all, I am not a rockstar. I am just a simple but passionate dude that really enjoys taking hardware apart to figure out how it works. I have been doing this my entire life. And since 2015 I have been doing it "FOR A LIVING"
I was born in 1969 and raised in this house in Poortugaal (not to confuse with Portugal) as a son of a greengrocer. I have learned the value of money by earning fl. 1000 for my first Commodore 64 computer by weighting and packaging bags of potatoes for 0,05 a bag.
Before I bought the commodore I got this one; A Philips VIDEOPAC G7000 and the first programming language I learned was Assembly using the 100 step Cartridge No. 9. The most fancy thing I could do is print my name in rainbow colors with a beep.
