Hardware Hackers in NL.

Get dressed now.

Run to the @albertheijn.

Get a bunch of Soundboxes.

They are €3.99 each and worth way more in hardware.

Each box contains nearly 600 high quality audio samples.

Create your own bar code.

Tear the thing down.

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.

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.
