@aaronpk super to know. I wonder if Flickr embeds geolocation into EXIF data when I drop photos onto Flickr's maps. I'm going to download a few to see

IIRC it doesn't embed it, but the geo data is available via the Flickr API and is included in the archive. I didn't include any map generation code in this site build, but the data is there to use later.

@aaronpk were you able to download Flickr albums and keep photos associated with your albums? I have more than 30,000 Flickr photos and think I would need to spend a weekend sorting downloaded content.

Yep, it makes a complete archive. Albums, tags, even comments. It's all browseable as a website by just opening index.html on your drive.

I just finished downloading my whole Flickr account to a static website. Now browsing around it is much faster than looking at the same photos on Flickr, and it makes me want to get back to actually organizing my photos again!

After downloading all the different resolutions Flickr has, it turned into 255gb on disk. Not bad, would even fit on a thumb drive.

Here's the source if you want to try this yourself!

I’ll talk to DVE store, but there’s a disconnect between the assembly instructions and the parts list. The parts list says only two drop in M4 nuts are provided, but the assembly PDF says extra nuts are provided to install additional accessories.

There should be a separate little bag in the kit with M5*8 screws and two M5 slide-in nuts. We can send that to you if it's missing! Good point that it's missing from the parts list though.

@aaronpk This could be self hosted: https://pixelfed.org/
And would I think completely covers all of Flickr 1.0 features at least.
@pixelfed

Pixelfed looks neat but is definitely going for more of an Instagram feature parity than Flickr

Interviewed a full stack developer and he couldn’t even write a program to detect if another program would ever halt or not. I mean come on. He’s so dependent on running the program and seeing if it halts, he was totally lost without it

@aaronpk Just assembled the PK1 Pro Streamer stand for the Atem Mini Extreme ISO. It mentions it comes with replacement bolts to attach the Smallrig 1842 monitor mount, but there are no nuts to screw those bolts into. Nothing mentioned in the instructions.

hmm it should have come with two slide-in nuts for that. Send an email to the store you bought it from and we can fix it!

@aaronpk https://pixelfed.org/ is the fediverse flickr. I dont know how it compares, feature-wise.

I'd say it's more of the fediverse Instagram. Flickr was always less about the timeline and scrolling thru photos and more about organizing by tags and albums

Since Instagram *still* doesn’t let you put clickable links in posts… I’m looking for a service that replicates the grid with links to anywhere so it’s easy to find the post you were just looking at and tap to go that YouTube video. Any favorites?

I remember looking for these a while ago, there's a ton of them, but I ended up making my own with some simple HTML/CSS template I found https://aaronpk.tv/links/

Reminder that you should own & host your content (if you can) - even if you use socials to amplify it, social media shouldn't be where it lives - Twitter, Instagram, etc are ephemeral and so incredibly short form and gets swept away in a raging river of content.

@aaronpk Pixelfed? https://pixelfed.org/

maybe? That's still way more social network-y than what I actually want, which is sharing photo albums with select people.

also, the tools for managing photos are extremely limited, like not being able to adjust modification dates of photos, and not being able to choose sort order within albums

basically I just want Flickr but self hosted 😭

I decided to try out NextCloud for this, it mostly works, but has some weird things:

• The new dashboard view is completely useless for this use case
• It's weird that I'm giving people an entire toolset just to be able to look at photos

Hello internet friends!

What is the best way to share a set of photos with a select few people, while being able to add more photos over an extended period of time? Must not rely on creating an account like on iCloud.

I have my own thoughts but I am interested in other ideas!
