We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

Are they your files? Just dump them by major event (like "trip to", "X's wedding") or period if nothing special happened (/2023/"08 Home Summer" - I always put numerical month before so they get sorted). Then use some kind of software to organize them further (automatically, by place/date/face/object recognition, etc.) https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/17l7230/bleedingedge_selfhosted_photo_software_in_2023_im/

How would you go about doing that? or I'm asking for too much?
