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!

After downloading all the different resolutions Flickr has, it turned into 255gb on disk. Not bad, would even fit on a thumb drive. Here's the source if you want to try this yourself! github.com/aaronpk/Flickr-Ar…

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.

Wow, I remember when it was pretty good getting a 2Gb one, and 16gb was pushing it!
