50000 images indexed in #kPhotoAlbum, done.
That doesn't mean I indexed 50k artworks though (I wish); I started by indexing all the images he left (35k?), including artwork scans, photographies, archived papers, you name it. Then I scanned some more photographies. And for each artwork I keep the raw scans (1 to 4, rarely more), and a "publishable" JPEG image. So I have just over 5k newly scanned artworks. #archiving #scans -
New instance, same #introduction
Hi I'm Pierre, changed from Lego geek to computer geek at 11 when I touched a computer; they weren't that common in '80.
Studied computing at uni, became software #developer. Worked in several #startups, but not only.
Switched main OS to #linux in 1996. From time to time I contribute to #freesoftware projects, last to date being #DaggerfallUnity.
I enjoy #jazz #music (sometimes play #drums, but I need to replace my aging kit now), or #photography #nature. -
Enjoyed listening to a @dosgameclub podcast about #StarFlight game, that I played and finished back in the day
https://www.dosgameclub.com/starflight/Talking of that, the way game saving worked used a feature of some Forth implementations called persistence
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persistence_(computer_science)
Simplified coding, you could just dump state, later reload it and your program would go on, transparently.

#KPhotoAlbum ?
Malgré le nom, le système d'indexation se personnalise facilement et on peut faire beaucoup de choses avec -
Alors comme ça, à partir de 2024, jusqu'à 40% de l'argent sur #LivretA pourra servir à financer des projets de #defense ?

To be clear I had working #zswap setups before, they just stopped working.
6.4 changed several things (remove frontswap, cgroups support, inclusion in /proc/meminfo), but I saw no changes in the patches in documentation about how to activate it. Maybe I'm just missing some memcg wizardry.
And all info I found about zswap predates 6.4 so I don't know if it's unchanged on purpose, or just "not updated yet". -
@[email protected] Looking at this, I should redo all the scans I did in the first 2 months or so (before I had a color target), and recalibrate the scans I did in the next 4 months (hopefully the scans only need reprocessing).
Around 500 + 1000 scans. Some day. Maybe when I get better hardware...
But don't hold your breath, still have maybe 80% of artworks left to scan or photography...

I repurposed one of his old laptops (that overheats, sadly) as frontend, making room for an Ubuntu partition.
I installed the trusty #recoll to index text documents and emails.
For images, I ended up using #KPhotoAlbum, that has very flexible tagging possibilities, making it useful on more than photo albums. Chronological view and image stacking are also great.
I used #Geeqie, then more recently #Czkawka for finding image #duplicates, that I then stacked manually in KPhotoAlbum. -
Following #forensic practices, I imaged everything in sight with #safecopy: harddrives, CDs, DVDs, USB keys. Took some time because one laptop had a known faulty #Toshiba 1TB harddrive (that my father lost some work on already).
Then I wrote a script to mount the images read-only, and #rsync interesting files for easier access. Made it #idempotent so I could modify rsync filters and run the script again. -
My dad died in September 2021 at the age of 78 of an undiagnosed #myeloma. That was abrupt, he died 3 weeks after arriving at the hospital, I still often think about that terrible month.
Beside having been a school #teacher, he painted is whole life since the age of 15, and left a large #legacy of #paintings and #drawings. I immediately thought about #digitizing his complete work, even if it looked like a huge undertaking, probably for both said and unsaid reasons. -
J'ai créé un compte Pixelfed pour publier des #scans des #peintures de mon père. On va voir comment ça se passe (je découvre).
I created a Pixelfed account to publish some #scans of my father's #paintings. Will see how it goes (I'm new to this).

@metin Since you seem interested in graphics, #pc1211 had basically none; single line of 24? chars, until someone found a way to derail BASIC interpreter and access the first columns of pixels.
You could access pixels natively on #pc1500, but again display was small. 4 colors plotter was amazing.
#mz80k had an interesting font with symbols
#mz80b could display 40 or 80 columns text and 2 switchable graphic pages, all ORed together. Could be used for page flipping, etc. -
@metin First personal computer I touched in 1980 was a #Micral (80-20?), thanks to a high school professor that gave me access to one
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micral
Then I had several #Sharp computers, a #pc1211 that my father bought, then temporary access to a #pc1500 (with small plotter!), #mz80k and #mz80b, thanks to a Sharp reseller (Mr #Laussucq, in #Dax).
Got my first #ibmpc #Thomson clone in 1983 or 1984. -
@jeremiah
Thanks for the suggestions!
Some local contemporary art center (Centre d'Art Contemporain des Landes #cac40 #MontDeMarsan) has acquired one of his paintings already, but they lack funding so I doubt they'll be able to do much more. Hopefully another exhibition, but getting their attention is difficult #art #painting #Etchemaite -
@antimnguyen I remember at some point #DaggerfallUnity received some spotlight (not sure if that was GOG Cut release or some important new feature), and I noticed 2 nonsensical "videogame articles" on the web about "that new Bethesda game that will still be years in the making" (obviously mixing it up with #TES6); another time with #WaywardRealms.
Got a bit angry and worried at the time, tried to contact authors, but in retrospect it must have been that kind of "AI journalism" @gavinclayton -
à #jazz in #Marciac hier soir,
pour voir et écouter #Sixun et #SnarkyPuppy
Formidable prestation de Snarky Puppy !
