"More than one thousand #klezmer #tunes, some dating back to the late #19thCentury, are being #performed and #recorded after sitting in a #library in #Kiev for years, thanks to the #nonprofit #KlezmerInstitute.

“This increases #European #klezmermusic by fourfold over what was accessible before,” Christina Crowder, the #NewHaven-based #accordion player who heads the institute, told me, adding that the collection ranges from virtuosic solo pieces to “workaday, regular old tunes.”

#Digitalphotos of hundreds of pages of #sheetmusic arrived on a memory stick at the #Yiddish #NewYork gathering in 2017, but the crowd-sourced effort to turn them into PDF files and share them on the web didn’t get going in earnest until late 2020. In the last couple of years, several #albums featuring the resurrected #klezmertunes have been recorded."

How hundreds of forgotten klezmer tunes have been rescued from oblivion

Thanks to a mammoth klezmer digitization project, we can hear Jewish music that hasn't been played for generations.

Internet hive mind.

My dad's old Synology NAS is nearly full, mainly it is used to backup his desktop on which he edits his photos. The backup is just rsync so syncs one way, but doesn't remove duplicates when he moves things round.

I'm looking for a tool I can point at a mounted volume that will find duplicates and near duplicates (e.g. cropped versions) of photos and create an index.

Anybody know of a OpenSource tool that does this? Don't want to have to install Immich

I've spent the weekend setting up a "MagicMirror" display on my desk using a 1080p monitor I was not using. Set it up in Portrait mode.

I have MMM-GooglePhotos and MMM-CalendarExt3.

Custom CSS to and layout of the modules.

I even found an RSS feed that strips SPORT out of the BBC News feed.

This is running on a Raspberry Pi 4 8Gb.

Also running on the Same Raspberry Pi is an MQTT server.

I'm a #digitalhoarder. I've got almost 3500 #ebooks on my #Kindle app and adding more every day. I've got probably 10000 #digitalphotos and scanning and adding more every day. I've got close to 10000 #recipes saved as pdfs from hundreds of blogs and websites. I've got close to 10000 songs saved on my harddrive. And I've got close to 500 #movies saved to my #Plex server. I will never be able to read, watch, cook, listen to all of them in my lifetime so why can't I delete them? #hoarder

soon about to teach my club on how to move their digital photos from Google and into the platform I use. My meetings with them absolutely make my day! I get to help them better organize their photos for the future and truly help take them from chaos to order. #DigitalPhotos #GenealogyOrganization
