Google Storage on Google Photos 2021 1

3 Ιουνίου 2021 στο Google επισημασμένο με ετικέτα drive / google / storage Από Tux

With the new unfortunate change in Google Storage Policy and Google Photos, you will find your storage running out soon…

To keep track of your data and avoid filling up your quota and missing out on emails better keep an eye on the following two links:

https://photos.google.com/quotamanagement
This link will show you where your space is spent.
It should help you find files that you can delete from your account to make significant space changes.
https://photos.google.com/unsupportedvideos
The second link will show all videos that could not be processed and occupy as much space as their original size.
These files could hog a great amount of space as Google Photos did not reduce them at all.
Please note that a few minutes of a high-quality video could take up many GBs from your account.

Important update to Google Photos storage policy
Starting from 1 June 2021, new photos and videos that you back up in high quality will count towards your free 15 GB of Google Account storage. We wanted to let you know well in advance because you have backed up photos and videos in high quality and will be affected by this change.
Check the backup settings on the Google Photos app or website on each device that you use to see what devices are backing up in high quality. This change does not apply to Pixel 5 and earlier devices.
Why we’re changing
Today, over 1 billion people, including you, back up a remarkable 28 billion photos to Google Photos each week. In order to welcome even more of your memories and build for the future, we are making this change.
Your existing photos and videos won’t be affected
Photos and videos backed up in high quality before 1 June 2021 won’t count towards your free 17 GB of Google Account storage.
You have 9.4 GB of storage remaining
This is based on the photos, videos, and other content that you’ve already backed up to your Google Account.
You have options to manage your storage
In June, you will be able to access a new free tool that lets you find and review blurry, dark, and other low-quality photos to help you stay within your 15 GB of free storage.
If you’d like more storage, you can get more from Google One, starting at €1.99/month for 100 GB.

Creating ISO and Burning CD or DVD using Command Line tools 1

Creating an ISO image

The command called genisoimage can make an .ISO image to be burned or mounted.

genisoimage -r -J -o image.iso ./directory;

The -r and -J ensure long file names work for Unix (using Rock Ridge) and Windows (using Joliet extensions) respectively.
The -o parameter defines the name of the iso image file to be created (here we used image.iso).
The last parameter (./directory) defines the directory from which the command will copy its files for the image.

Checking CD Images Before Burning

It’s possible to check CD images before burning. The easiest way is to simply double-click on it from the file browser, which will view the image with the Archive Manager.

If you have sudo access, you can also mount the image, and explore its contents using the following commands:

sudo modprobe loop;
sudo mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop=/dev/loop0 image.iso /media/cdrom;

Remember to unmount an image after checking:

sudo umount /media/cdrom;

Burning a CD on the Command Line with wodim

To burn a data CD (using image prepared earlier), first see where the CD/DVD writer is located using the following command:

wodim --devices;

$ wodim --devices wodim: Overview of accessible drives (1 found) : 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
  0  dev='/dev/scd0'     rwrw-- : 'LITE-ON' 'DVDRW SOHW-1633S' 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

After finding the info from the device scanning results, take the appropriate target.
This is important if there is more than one device on the system.

In this case /dev/cdrw and /dev/dvdrw both point to /dev/scd0.

$ ls -l /dev/cdrw
 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2009-01-26 21:56 /dev/cdrw -> scd0
$ ls -l /dev/dvdrw
 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2009-01-26 21:56 /dev/dvdrw -> scd0

Then we can proceed to burn the ISO as follows:

# To burn a data CD
wodim dev=/dev/sr0 -v -data image.iso;

# To burn an audio cd from wav files:
wodim dev=/dev/sr0 -v -audio [wav files...]

Replace /dev/sr0 as needed if this is not your CD/DVD-Writer, the parameter -v (verbose) lets you track the recording progress.
