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

  Digikam seems ideal for this https://digikam.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 11 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.

• 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

• Import from Google Photos, including Albums

  To keep albums pristine, know that takeout exports two copies of files that are in albums : once in the album folder, once in the year folder. So make sure when deleting duplicates with PhotoSweeper for photos, and Video simili duplicate cleaner for videos, to mark the album folders as “prefered” or “locked” folders to be kept at all costs.
