Ostras, que Infomaniak está caído desde 45 minutos y no puedo acceder a los archivos en Kdrive.

Menos mal que tengo copia de todo lo importante en local y que solo uso Kdrive -de pago- para archivar material gráfico de mis clientes de cosas antiguas y ya publicadas pero que quiero tener ordenadas por si las necesito en el futuro.

Da miedito la dependencia de la nube.

#infomaniak #kdrive

I am tediously crafting a #BitwigStudio port of my old #Reason Drum Kits so I can have a particular 'sound'. The exercise is valid in that it is pushing me to concentrate on the mappings of samples, reading the NN-XT sampler settings in Reason and converting these to meaningful information for Bitwig.

There are 9.8k sample files. There are recordings for Room, Close, under the Snare, and Overhead.

I'm building a nifty spreadsheet on #kDrive as a first exercise of working outside of #Google.

And I am listening to #BernardPurdie and #ElvinJones while teasing out the various details.

I am very eager to start programming and making some sounds. #ElectronicMusicProduction

Buongiorno ☀️

Da giorni ho #NewPipe che non scarica più l'audio da molti video ma solo da alcuni... Poi #Nora si aggiorna molto frequentemente in questi giorni ma dopo tot giorni solo al provarla ad aprirla mi crusha senza riuscire ad aprirla... Ora lo stesso crush all'avvio ce l'ho con #kDrive...

Che succede?! Perché ho avuto l'istinto di andare verso la totale degooglizzazione dato che penso che forse #android stia facendo qualcosa...

Ho un Motorola G84 5G e uso continuamente #ProtonVPN.

KDrive habe ich mir jetzt auch mal angeschaut, macht einen sehr guten Eindruck.

Neuestes Projekt: Im Zuge meiner #UnplugTrump Mission nutze ich seit Anfang des Jahres #Infomaniak #myKSuite+. Für 1,58€ pro Monat habe ich, neben anderen Diensten wie Mail usw., auch 1TB Cloud Storage (#kDrive). Leider lässt sich kDrive im my kSuite+ Tarif aber nicht per WebDAV ansprechen. Dafür bräuchte man kSuite Pro oder einen dedizierten kDrive Tarif, was aber deutlich teurer ist und weniger Speicher bietet. Ich wollte kDrive für Backups und Sync mit meiner Synology verdrahten.

Breve guida su come creare un account #disroot e collegarlo a #nextcloud per avere un ecosistema alternativo e open source. La guida è per “ windows “ , ma è valida per qualunque sistema operativo (mobile incluso).

👉 Vai sul sito “ https://user.disroot.org/pwm/private/login “ e registrati. 👉 Scaricati “ #nextcloud “ sul sito “ https://github.com/nextcloud-releases/desktop/releases/download/v4.0.8/Nextcloud-4.0.8-x64.msi “ 👉Server: https://cloud.disroot.org 👉Accedi con #disroot

Su windows (ma uguale su ad esempio android) puoi collegare #offline un suite office @opensource come ad esempio #onlyoffice oppure #libreoffice.

Io ho scelto “onlyoffice” perché per la mia attività la piena compatibilità con la suite microsoft 365 è una priorità.

👉 Download “ Onlyoffice” https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/desktop-onlineinstaller/releases/latest/download/ONLYOFFICEDesktopInstaller.exe (windows11)

Su “onlyoffice” colleghi tramite “clouds” scegliendo “nextcloud” quindi “ https://cloud.disroot.org “ : login (username + password).

Et voilà hai collegato un “cloud” europeo (Disroot+Nextcloud) + Onlyoffice (offline ed open source).

Senza spendere un euro.

Se servono maggiore spazio esistono cloud che si collegano con nextcloud con maggiore spazio: #felicloud #tab.digital o la soluzione già integrata #kdrive con infomaniak.

Disroot ha molti servizi alternativi:

Email Disroot: Servizio di posta elettronica sicuro e privato.

Lufi: Servizio di file uploader temporaneo per condividere file di grandi dimensioni.

Nextcloud Talk/Chat (XMPP): Messaggistica istantanea federata.

Pad / Etherpad: Modifica di documenti di testo in collaborazione in tempo reale.

Forum / PrivateBin: Strumenti di collaborazione e condivisione sicura di note.

Keeping kDrive Tidy Despite iOS

One of the many iOS flaws is that if you download photos and videos it defaults to throwing them into your photo album, whether they're yours, and that's why it's good to tidy up. For the tidying up effort today I used ffprobe, find and the kDrive desktop drive, as well as terminal and a secure shell.

The premise is that as you're living your life, activity friends, family and apps like TikTok all post files, that you might or might not download intentionally. I'd recommend downloading them intentionally. We'll cover this shortly.

RSYNC

Due to having at least two phones over the years I had two folders with photos that needed to be consolidated. I used rsync to consolidate both folders and then deleted the 8plus folder that no longer had a reason to be.

FFProbe

I started the day with the premise that apple Photos took .mov videos and apps like Whatsapp, Signal and TikTok used mp4 files. I used find to clear up the mess of MP4 files, and got them sorted chronologically. I was pleasantly surprised to see that whatsapp and other files were sorted into their own folders.

It's with disappointment that I noticed that TikTok saves part of the messy files as .mov files. If I used exiftool then I could setup a filter "if video files do not mention iphone, add them to sorted, and leave the others as they are". The issue is that exiftool is slow.

I asked Euria for help and it suggested FFProbe so I experimented with it. I told it, find all non 1920,1080 videos and move them to sorted, so it wrote a shell script to do that. It worked well enough but I still double checked what it had moved. Eventually, when I got to videos that I shot in 4K I asked it to widen what it kept, so it re-wrote the shell script.

For once I sorted each year, one at a time, from 2023-2026. It was fast, and effective. In some cases I rescued files from the sorted folder that I wanted to keep.

My rational behind creating a "sorted" folder, per month, was so that I could then get a script to move the "sorted" video files chronologically into the "chaff" folder that I setup this morning.

If I had done this with exiftool or manually it would have taken ages. By getting a simple tool to do this task it took seconds per year.

Much Tidier

The photos backup folder that syncs from my phone to kDrive, and from kDrive to my desktop started the day without about 400gb of files. After some quick tidying this morning, thanks to shell scripts and the command line I got it down to 90GB.

The next step is to reconcile those 90GB of photos with the main photo library I have. Once the two are merged my kDrive phone photos backup folder could be nearly empty.

And Finally

One of the key advantages of using kDrive, rather than Google Photos, Apple Photos, Flickr and other cloud solutions is that you can tidy directly from the command line with a few practical prompts. Doing the same in a web browser takes hours. I know because I tried.

Having a local copy of what's in the cloud allows you to clean up within minutes, for free. No need for expensive apps. You're in full control. Once you're done it propagates back to the server.

TLDR

I mention kDrive but Google Drive, iCloud, One Drive and most other solutions offer the same flexibility. If you store photos within folders and files, rather than photos app, data migration is simplified.
