Synology

This is a place for all topics regarding Synology hard- and software - especially (but not limited to) their NAS devices.

Just one thing: Let’s please be pleasant to each other and respect that people have different experience levels. Some are pros, some are noobs, yet everybody may have good ideas or interesting questions to ask and comments to make, and all of these shall be heard and appreciated. ❤️

And since we know from TV that all IT nerds 🤓 are h4xx0rs and wear hoodies all the time (if not even ski masks) in front of their computers, I chose an appropriate banner image (image credit).

Offline Ai Image Dedupe and Tagging (excire.com)

After Amazon recently TOSd my photo backups with no explanation I began looking into solutions where Ai recognition could be used completely offline.

I found this app called Exire Foto which does a pretty good job at tagging and an excellent job at deduping. I work in volume photography and it’s able to quickly and accurately dedupe a huge amount of files.

I’m not a shill, so I will admit that there are limits and the software doesn’t nail the tags every time. On the upside the tags are written to directly to the files so wherever they end up that data is persevered.

I’m unsure if I will continue to use this after Synology adds object recognition back to the Photos app. If Synology doesn’t write their image tags to the files then Excire may be a better solution depending on your use case.

Hope this is useful to someone out there.

Does Synology photo allow dedup? I don't think it does

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Moments (before Synology photos) used to give you a list of all the duplicates, and you'd select what you wanted to keep or delete. It worked really well. It's a shame that Photos doesn't include this.
