I have nearly every service imaginable running and have now started a new project.
I am creating a searchable stock photo archive for my lan. It has been a very interesting project but think i may have crossed the line into overkill lol.
I had hundreds of stock photo cds from the 90s I have turned them all into ISO’s.
I then spent ages dealing with some strange cdrom layouts but got all the images off.
I then converted them all to JPG.
I have now setup a batch script that dedupes then takes the images in 2k batches, runs them through a ai vision model to add keywords and descriptions; as they have none.
They are then copied to a folder where I have photoprism running as the front end and I only have 4k done so far but they look amazing and the search and descriptions are really accurate and useful.
400k more images to go but at least it should all be automated now.


And when the slopocalypse and technofascism have blown over, we crawl out of our digital bunkers and repopulate the wastelands of cyberspace with… stock images of Hide the Pain Harold? I love it! 😄 Although I could think of more valuable data to hoard for that event.
I’m open to ideas, already got everything I can think of. Would love to be inspired
There’s plenty of valuable data to be hoarded for rainy days: Wikipedia and climate science data are the first that come to mind.
Thanks
