Is there any way to save storage on similar images? (lemmy.pe1uca.dev)

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?

You can also adjust the threshold however that's probably not a great idea unless you manually want to accept/reject the duplicates.
