Our upload speed is slow - 1mb max. So, it's very easy for things that require any effort get paused. I finally uploaded the pictures from my iphone.
I was originally planning on doing it in a data centre because it had
already been uploaded to apple, but I wasn't getting it done. Since
perfection is the enemy of good, I decided to just get it done and
upload it over many, many days in small ~ 200 pictures batches. 3809
photos. The now native file format is HEIC which flickr doesn't like.
I have not even thought about the videos.
My steps were roughly
- Download the files to my computer
- Install image magic and run
magick mogrify -monitor -format jpg *.HEIC - Move the files into groups in the subfolders
- Upload them
- Now to delete the generated jpg files since we don't need them with the below command
find . -type f -name "*.HEIC" | cut -f-2 -d'.' | awk '{print $1".jpg"}' | xargs rm --
I would like to solve this by just having faster internet. Hopefully
our non-profit ISP will soon have something faster than just slower
DSL in our area.
