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.
https://github.com/jbruchon/jdupes
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.

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

Ask HN: What is your approach for managing personal digital assets?
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.

Duplicity
After Borg, I switched to Restic:
https://restic.net/
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:
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/3268#issuecomment-78...
On the other hand, I tested around 15,000 backups last year (multiple hourly backups, daily tests) and they all passed.
