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!

255gb sounds like an enormous thumb drive! That’s like the base level HD for a whole laptop (from some companies…)

It's really not bad, like $20-30 for a 256gb thumb drive from reputable sources. They don't have to be as fast as the SSD in a laptop.

pipe those puppies to aws s3 and keep a backup on cold storage and you have flicked your own flickr. Pro tip tho they only store the one main resolution one, then generate and store the other resolutions on request as a cache

That's awesome. I keep wishing Flickr will turn around, but tools like this are going to be really handy to move off there. Thanks!

Curious where you end up. I gave up and accepted Google Photos' loving embrace. The AI stuff is pretty great.
