File Servers... how are you handling duplicates
I recommend the use of jdupes, a fork of the well-known fdupes, to find duplicate files.

fdupes: Identify or Delete Duplicate Files
200 lines of Nim [1] seems to run about 9X faster than the 8000 lines of C in fdupes on a little test dir I have. If you need C, I think jdupes [2] is faster as @TacticalCoder points out a couple of times here. In my testing, `dups` is usually faster than `jdupes`, though.

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.
- Anyone know of any good file deduplication tools?

My research into this many years ago turned out that jdupes was the right / best solution I could find for my usecase.

Though that works fine from a script perspective I'd like some more interactive way of sorting directories etc. Identifying is just the first step, jdupes helps with linking the files (both soft and hard links comes with caveats though!) but that is mostly to save space, not to help in reorganisation.

Does jdupes do a 'dry run' if you just specify directory(s) and no other options
I can work it out by looking at https://github.com/jbruchon/jdupes.

replace duplicates with hard links - I think jdupes is the answer, or maybe fclones (I have questions)
I have looked at a few alternatives and think jdupes is the one for me. Then I found out it was not multi-threaded so will give it a go but the developer of jdupes recomended fclones (https://github.com/jbruchon/jdupes/issues/186) if you were dealing with large file systems and wanted multi-threading. But as I am using a HD it may not be necessary.

jdupes is a fork of the old standby fdupes, but it has a Win32 release as well as supporting POSIX.

Self hosted, web gui, file duplication scanner
I use rdfind for this.

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.
