I wasn’t sure if it was AI or not. According to the description on GitHub:

Utilizes state-of-the-art algorithms to identify duplicates with precision based on hashing values and FAISS Vector Database using ResNet152.

Isn’t ResNet152 a neural network model? I was careful to say neural network instead of AI or machine learning.

Yeah, the duplicate finder uses a neural network to find duplicates I think. I went through my wedding album that had a lot of burst shots and it was able to detect similar images well.

Not sure if you’re aware, but Immich has a duplicate finder

I have a Terramaster 4-bay DAS

I’m running a mini-PC with the N100, 12GB RAM, and 2x18TB mirrored drives on ZFS and it seems to work well.

Yeah, the power prices in my city are really high (USA). They’re even higher than Hawaii, from what I’ve heard. That’s why I’m leaning towards the mini PCs and SBC options, even if used server/desktop parts have better performance for the price.

Is your NAS in an old tower PC?

The Thelio looks awesome, but it seems overkill for what to do and spend. I would probably do DIY if I wanted something with the specs of the Thelio.

Yeah, the mini PCs look great. How do you have your storage set up?
