• How to tag and store pictures downloaded from the internet?

  Digikam seems ideal for this https://digikam.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• What are your favorite methodologies for organizing digital life

  I have all of my photos (with the exception of smartphone photos... ugh) in a nicely constructed set of folders \photos\yyyy\yyyymmmdd\ then the folder made by the camera, etc. I've got a small python script to generate the folders. I use Digikam[1] to do facial recognition and tagging on them. It's finally gotten to the point where it doesn't crash all the time writing metadata, and the facial recognition is... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• are there any free self-hosted DAMs like Adobe Experience Manager [AEM]?

  I use digikam for my own personal library. I’m not sure if it’s able to be run from a server, but I know you can hook up a NAS to it to manage it. Can tag photos, rank, organize, etc. Source: about 1 year ago

• Looking for a simple Photo manager/DAM for not photos advice?

  Check out digiKam. It has photo editing tools as well, but the main focus is photo management. Also it is free and open source. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Looking for a way to tag my photo collection with keywords

  But with that many photos, I'd suggest a more fully featured digital asset management (DAM) program. Lightroom (paid), DigiKam, or DarkTable (both free) are good choices. PhoTool's IMatch (paid) also uses exiftool and is extremely powerful with regards to metadata. Source: about 2 years ago

• We need more of Richard Stallman, not less

  >The organization and ideas should transcend an individual. It is never the case is my observation (as much as I want you to be correct). Any attempt to detach individual form the goals/idea of an organization leads to bureaucracy, incompetence, and perhaps most importantly authoritarianism of the evil kind. ( there are relatively benign versions of authoritarianism ) >when the ideas seem to be really more needed... - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• We need more of Richard Stallman, not less

  The organization and ideas should transcend an individual. The organization right now seems headed for irrelevance, when the ideas seem to be really more needed now that ever. Right now he’s and his camp are in charge, so if he and the group want to run it into the ground so be it. Hopefully the ideas live on and some group can carry it forward. I always thing back to media goblin as something that should be... - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• Looking for a selfhosted public photo album, ideally similar to Imgur

  The closest one I can think of to imgur is Mediagoblin. Source: over 2 years ago

• Self-Hosting Public-Facing NextCloud Server

  Personally, I wouldn't use Nextcloud for photos. Instead, I'd look at Lychee, Media Goblin or something dedicated to photo hosting. Lychee looks great, but turned me off because when I looked at it, it seemed to be like Apple Photos in that it puts image files in a database file instead of just raw files in folders.
