This is awesome!
Personally I would have used TIFF and either Immich or ResourceSpace (a DAM - meant for this kind of thing, but also maybe more institutional than you want.)

Damn, unlimited storage? In this economy?
Any chance you can upload your ISOs to archive.org?
You can use Immich, it’s not perfect for this use case but it is searchable by content. You could just create a second account so you don’t even need to host an extra service
Might be worth a try.
The thing that has surprised me the most is how good this AI model is at accurately knowing what is in a picture when the model itself is only 3GB in size.
That's awesome! But... why?
kind of getting ready for the day when the open web becomes pretty much unusable due to ai and id requirements
And when the slopocalypse and technofascism have blown over, we crawl out of our digital bunkers and repopulate the wastelands of cyberspace with... stock images of Hide the Pain Harold? I love it! 😄 Although I could think of more valuable data to hoard for that event.
I'm open to ideas, already got everything I can think of. Would love to be inspired
There's plenty of valuable data to be hoarded for rainy days: Wikipedia and climate science data are the first that come to mind.
Careful, once it's automated you won't be able to work on it anymore!
This feeds into my ultimate project which I think will take me all summer.
I plan to create a lan wide search that has kiwix, tube archivist, ubooquity, paperless, jellyfin, stock images and stash.
Then I would have a unified search point and i think it would make kiwix far more usable by not having to go to the specific zim first. BBut, it is a tricky project as some things are nice and have api's others don't
How do you do the AI tagging? That is something I need right now.
running the images through ollama using this model: gemma3:latest
It is working on cpu only and still gives a decent throughput
Cool, thanks. I'll look into it.
Are you a web designer, or how do you utilize 400k+ of stock images?
No i'm not just kind of thought it would be nice to have, that way if i ever need to make any cards or banners i have loads of stuff in every category, with no ugly AI pics like most search engine image searches show these days.
Well, that's pretty cool.
