Eggbug was here. Eggbug mattered.

Goblin Party @ My Brain 24/7 | A week shy of 33 before Cohost closed. Cis, ACAB forever, Trans Rights Are Human Rights forever.

RIP Cohost 2024. You were the best social media site to have ever been done. Long live eggbug. If you're seeing this in the future, on some archive, be kind to others. It's the only way things get better.

Cases? Racks? Alchemist/Medicine Chests? Board Game Organiser Inserts? Shadow Foam Style Inserts? French Cleat/Pegboard Tool Walls?

I think it's ultimately a desire to simply be able to Do The Thing I Want/Need To Do To Make/Repair/Manifest This Thing, Right Now, With No Obstacles. Perfection is some version of Mr Silver's cyborg arm (Treasure Planet), or some other kind of 'instant-access-brain-controlled-all-use-tool-set-but-also-usable-hand/arm' sitch. Set me up like a fucking Adeptus Mechanicus (Warhammer40k) Tech Priest with 3-4 arms and HUD goggles and shit.

But like, also, I LOVE the idea of opening a box and finding its contents both perfectly and optimally organised AND fully visible and instantly accessible. Anything from full toolkits ala medicine chests or all-in-one miniature figure painting stations, or like old flintlock firearm display boxes, or the trope of the sniper with the briefcase and all the parts in cutout inserts, etc.

Do you also have Executive Dysfunction? A life of torture so profound both Prometheus and Sisyphus look down at you in pity? Wherein you constantly yearn for the perfect and optimal in the entropically doomed? Do you also have a whole-ass space (room, garage, life, etc) filled with shit that needs organising but you simply cannot get around to it? Same. :/

What's your favourite organisational object/setup? French cleat wall of tools? Foam insert box/other specialised storage case? Server racks? Fold-out make-up box? Those gravity-movement drink can/pantry can storage racks that you can fill from the top and they roll down, back, drop, and roll forward again? Show me! Tell me! Especially if it's uncommon!

CloneSpy fucking rules thank you to @tools for the tip, I’ve only scanned 18% of my big drive I use for dumping files and have already cleared up 21GB, fuck yeah

This is very useful, and much faster than many other methods by way of using checksums as part of their comparison!

I'd like to add on another suggestion, since it's not something CloneSpy can do:

If you're needing to try and sort/reorganise/discard duplicate images, even if they're not identical files (non-motion porn collections, unsorted photos, etc), VisiPics is a good tool for the job, as it will gather and display your image duplicates within tolerances you can set, and has many of the same choice options as CloneSpy for filtering selected images. Other suggestions for similar (perhaps newer/better) tools welcome!

I just wish there was something I could use to do the same for gifs or webms/other video formats! If anyone knows a tool or method that would allow batch discovery and selection of duplicate gifs/videos, please let me know!
