gphotos_sort VS restic

Sometime the browser does not refresh immediately.. look at https://photos.google.com/search/_tra_ (recently added), if you see the 4 photos there, go to https://photos.google.com/ and refresh (multiple times, if necessary).

On the web app (photos.google.com) and the android app, it's "description" but yes i agree with this post regardless. You can use it for keywords or whatever you want and it becomes way more searchable.

With my latest set of photos taken with a Pixel 8 Pro, the photos in the albums display with the album name, but the date doesn't display for them (and only them). Previous photos from previous albums are fine. The exif data on the new Pixel 8 Pro photos looks correct when viewed both within Google Photos app and photos.google.com.

When viewed via https://photos.google.com they error: "An error occurred. Please try again later."

That’s strange. Can you see them on https://photos.google.com?

Delete from https://photos.google.com.

However, I just tried doing a "3 dot" Download all in an album in photos.google.com , as well as a Takeout of the same album. File sizes are the same, and seems like the metadata is in both downloads... I have checked with exiftool too!

1) Open any web browser and go to photos.google.com 2) Click on 'Create Album', and give it a Title e.g. Screenshots 3) Click on 'Add Photos' 4) Click on the upload cloud at the top right 5) Click 'Select from computer' 6) In the dialog box that opens, scroll down the left pane to Media > Photos and click it 7) In the right pane, below the Photos app icon, scroll down to Albums > Screenshots 8) All screenshots will be displayed. Select all, click 'Open' and import into Google Photos 9) In Photos on Mac, find 'Screenshots' under albums. Select and delete all to free up iCloud space.

I can see the "motion" icon on photos.google.com but its not showing all the individual photos at the bottom of the screen. How can I turn this on so I can edit one and delete the rest.

Restic - GitHub

I religiously use Google contacts. It's the simplest way to keep people contacts up to date on Android.

I archive all important documents in specific folders by subject and date. This is backed up to back blaze with restic. https://restic.net/

I use https://ente.io for pictures. I convinced my wife to use it, and she agreed to auto share her photos so I don't nag her for copies. It had simple import from Facebook and Google.

I also keep extensive journals, which really helps to tie it all together. I can basically grep for hangouts, conversations, etc.

I also separate work journal from personal, and have essentially a journal for each project. https://jodavaho.io/tags/bullet-journal.html for how.

I religiously use Google calendar for all plans, you can easily search it for past events to get dates.

I also use monicahq for some notes about things I should remember about people but the habit never stuck.

After Borg, I switched to Restic:

AFAIK, the only difference is that Restic doesn't require Restic installed on the remote server, so you can efficiently backup to things like S3 or FTP. Other than that, both are fantastic.

I'm curious, too. I know they've had some issues in the past:

On the other hand, I tested around 15,000 backups last year (multiple hourly backups, daily tests) and they all passed.

I use and recommend restic. I use it for about 60 machines on my LAN, and it's absolutely fantastic.
