Have you read the uplift universe books by David Brin?

Classics, but I did read them a long time ago. No idea how they hold up.

I love it here on lemmy and it looks like the recent federation problems have been resolved.

So I‘m looking forward to lurk less and interact more in future.

Let us all build a better Reddit!

!vinyl@lemmy.world is the community I‘m subscribed to.

Post your collections, we could use more interactions.

Cheers!

Ah, interesting. I think it heard in several podcasts. But I guess those guys were pretty paranoid about losing data.

Okay, tell her to: Purge all doubles and objectively bad pictures (like unintentionally out of focus ones) from her library and also to keep only the best ones from a series. She should get rid of the JPEG’s or at least save them separately. Yes, weeding out that will take a long time with that many photos. I know the struggle.

Also, adobe lightroom is great, but I’m not sure if it’s that good when only used as a library. Maybe look for some alternatives. They might be even more functional with your NAS. There’s an opensource Programm called Darktable for example. Might be worth checking it out.

I’ve heard many professional and semi-professional photographers are afraid of data loss. So many keep the following precautions:

• Never reuse SD-cards, archive the full ones and buy new ones. Copy them to hard drives and/or external ssd‘s.

• When the ssd‘s are full, archive them and get new ones.

• Have a copy of all pictures in the cloud. I believe adobe offers a monthly plan for example.

Sorry, I’m just a hobby photographer myself, so that are just my 2 cents. Hope I could help at least a little bit.

They explain this in in an episode of Graham Cluley‘s excellent podcast „Smashing Security“. I think in the episode from October 26th.
