So, I’m selfhosting immich, the issue is we tend to take a lot of pictures of the same scene/thing to later pick the best, and well, we can have 5~10 photos which are basically duplicates but not quite.
Some duplicate finding programs put those images at 95% or more similarity.

I’m wondering if there’s any way, probably at file system level, for the same images to be compressed together.
Maybe deduplication?
Have any of you guys handled a similar situation?

    No, not really.

    The problem is that OP is asking for something to automatically make decisions for him. Computers don’t make decisions, they follow instructions.

    The computer is not asked to make decisions like “pick the best image”. The computer is asked to optimize, like with lossless compression.
