Tools to deduplicate files
https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka by far the best of anything iv tried

fdupes: Identify or Delete Duplicate Files
I've used Czkawka (https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka) because it does Lanczos-based image duplicate detection, which makes it more practical for me.
-
AllDup suddenly taking forever to process/delete selections
Maybe it's a setting you made or the files, not sure. You can try another software czkawka to see if you get better results with it.

Is there a file duplicate finder that works with animated jpegxl-gif?
For static images i used https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka and it works well enough. I think. But when i used it on a folder with gifs and their jxl conversions, it shows nothing. SURELY this could not be user error, rrrright?

PhotoPrism: Browse Your Life in Pictures
I used to use DupeGuru which has some photo-specific dupe detection where you can fuzzy match image dupes based on content: https://dupeguru.voltaicideas.net/
But I switched over to czkawka, which has a better interface for comparing files, and seems to be a bit faster: https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka
Unfortunately, neither of these are integrated into Photoprism, so you still have to do some file management outside the database before importing.
I also haven't used Photoprism extensively yet (I think it's running on one of my boxes, but I haven't gotten around to setting it up), but I did find that it wasn't really built for file-based libraries. It's a little more heavyweight, but my research shows that Nextcloud Memories might be a better choice for me (it's not the first-party Nextcloud photos app, but another one put together by the community): https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/memories

Please don't post like 20 similar images to the art sites?
Czkawka can do this.

I'm amazed how I find anything & why I have so many dupes!
There's always the well-respected tool, Czkawka. Or, of the CLI is your thing, jdupes is a good option.
- I saw a post regarding crate to delete similar files

Is there a Mac app that will allow me to recursively go through thousands of folders, calculate the total folder size, then compare against all other folder sizes, and if the size is identical, delete the newer one?
rdfind is available for macOS; I've been using it on linux: https://github.com/pauldreik/rdfind

Deduplication on EXT4
You can use rdfind to find all duplicates in your experiments dir and replace files with hardlinks. This way files will occupy disk space only once and all inode references will be to the same disk location.

Pip and cargo are not the same
I use rdfind to deal with this: https://github.com/pauldreik/rdfind

This has probably happened to all of us at least once
Yeah, I periodically download the full drives and just deduplicate with rdfind hardlinking identical files.
