Do you have duplicated files on HD in your collection? <https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/6zbvkt/do_you_have_duplicated_files_on_hd_in_your/>
Take a look at this file-list <https://github.com/go-dedup/fsimilar/blob/master/test/test1.lst>, the first column is the file size and the next is the file specification itself, i.e., /path/filename.ext. See how easy or difficult for you to identify which files are actually the same. The above list is collected from a *single* source, and there are already many duplicate files there. If you have ever collected different files from different sources, you will know that duplicate files are inevitable in our file system. (Hint: do you have *same* files in *different* formats, .pdf vs. .doc vs .epub vs .zip vs .rar, or .mp4 vs. .avi vs .mkv, etc, etc?) Identifying same files are easy for computers. However, identifying similar ones is not much so...
