I am trying to finally move from entirely depending on Google Photos to a proper backup strategy. I have my photos and videos downloaded from Google which are a mess right now but as long they’re with me I am fine, at least for now.
So, what I have planned is 3 way backup with Mega Drive-Google Photos- Local storage. Local storage, I will start off with storing on a pendrive and my router has a usb port so will make use of it for time being.
I know my way of doing things is noobish for a piracy community (and in general too, I am kinda embarrassed as well sharing this “strategy” of mine). Hence I’m asking for suggestions to improve my strategy. Yeah, in the future I will move to HDDs and NAS but for time being I am starting out this way.
So how do you manage your personal media? Are there any noob-friendly tools/techniques you know which drastically improve my strategy?
Is that self-hosted software?
Yes, you can run it locally with docker/podman.
Does the face recognition run locally too?
Yes, everything runs locally. TensorFlow library recognize faces, scenes, tags, colors, etc. Tags have lots of errors, like cats could also contains other animals or cars could contain trains. But it is OK I guess, just some small feature, if you need you may edit everything from tags to faces. Faces recognition is better, mostly no mismatches.
Sounds like something I need to get… Off to github I go! (I assume)
