Project mention: Show HN: Memories, FOSS Google Photos alternative built for high performance | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-21I have been using https://www.photoprism.app for a couple of years, and it works better than expected, with the latest updates it's actually quite fast and the face tagging works reasonably well.

Project mention: Ask HN: What is your approach for managing personal digital assets? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-24I 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.
Heya! I'm the author of PhotoStructure, and my Google Photos account (before I started working on PhotoStructure) is about that size, too.
I wrote up some tips here: https://photostructure.com/faq/takeout/
This is what I did:
1. First try to fetch all your Google Photos via Takeout in one archive. If it fails (like it did for me), try different-sized .tgz archives. I had to use the 10 Gb option (using 50gb caused an internal-to-google error).
If that fails to work, the last resort is to manually create by-year albums, shove all photos from that year into that album, and do a takeout of just that album. Repeat as necessary for every year.
2. Install an app on your phone to *directly* upload the original photos and videos from your phone to your NAS/home server. I have several recommended apps here: https://photostructure.com/faq/how-do-i-safely-store-files/#...
At this point, you can still use Google Photos (for viewing and as a last-ditch backup), but your originals are safe (without all the Google Photo downsampling and metadata shenanigans), and you're free to use whatever self-hosted software you want (like PhotoStructure, but there are a ton of alternatives, as well).
FWIW, I also tried this software: https://github.com/mholt/timeliner -- it does what it can, but the files you get via the API has a bunch of metadata stripped from it. I even had captured-at times get mangled with older photos.
Project mention: Want to recover my photos from Google photos without changing the metadata of the photos | /r/androidapps | 2023-12-09Download from Google takeout only. For each photo, takeout downloads 2 files-a json file containing its metadata and the actual file itself. Now to fix this issue we'll make use of both the files using the script given below: https://github.com/TheLastGimbus/GooglePhotosTakeoutHelper Run this script recursively until all your photos have their dates corrected. dm in case u r stuck on any step

Sadly, it’s not configurable. It’s just an inherent limitation of the API (1). Takeout is the best alternative, but for something more realtime you can use tools (2) that wrap the browser UI which also exports full quality.

Project mention: Ente: Open-Source, E2E Encrypted, Google Photos Alternative | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-01Not right now, sorry!
There's this tool that can fix capture times: https://github.com/mattwilson1024/google-photos-exif
There are perhaps more that I'm unaware of.

I built a tool that allows you to review and delete duplicate photos: https://github.com/mtalcott/google-photos-deduper
I used it on my own library of ~70k photos to delete ~20k duplicates. Hope it can work for others too. There seems to be interest in this feature from Google Photos users, but it hasn't ever made its way into the product.
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).

LPT: Use captions feature in Google photos app to make any photo or video easily searchable in future, across devices. You can search for key moments of your life, even years later with search words rather than scrolling down for years.
