    Best way to embed face tags in photos

    This may be deemed slightly off topic but I felt like this community might know the answer to this. I'm looking for a way to permanently embed information about who is in a photo, but when I search Google I just get some forum posts from 10 years ago. Surely there is something more recent? How would you go about doing this? Let's assume they are JPG. I thought about this when looking through photos from my grandparents, where the names are written on the back of the photo. I have many digital photos from ten years ago and I've already forgotten the names of some of the people so imagine what it will be like in another 30 years.

    It is literally a zip file. If I remember correctly you have to write some xml which describes the layout of the skin and then include any images you need, you then zip it and change the file extension to wsz. So really you could put anything in a skin.

    Why does nobody maintain PPAs anymore?

    When I first started using Linux 15 years ago (Ubuntu) , if there was some software you wanted that wasn't in the distro's repos you can probably bet that there was a PPA you could add to your system in order to get it. Seems that nowadays this is basically dead. Some people provide appimage, snap or flatpak but these don't integrate well into the system at all and don't integrate with the system updater. I use Spek for audio analysis and yesterday it told me I didn't have permission to read a file, I a directory that I owned, that I definitely have permission to read. Took me ages to realise it was because Spek was a snap. I get that these new package formats provide all the dependencies an app needs, but PPAs felt more centralised and integrated in terms of system updates and the system itself. Have they just fallen out of favour?

    So far my experience with Nextcloud has been that it is a pain in the arse to install, and once it's installed is slow as anything. Literally couldn't run it on my pi 3b, now got it up and running pretty nicely on a NUC but it's still not great. Have caching set up. I have the notes app installed on my android phone and I can never used rich text editing because it gives timeout error. This shouldn't be this complicated. All I want is to de-Google my documents and notes, and self-host my kanban. I don't really need the rest though it's nice to have the options. Do people use alternatives? Am I doing something completely wrong? I set it up using nginx which I know is not supported, but the alternative using Docker AIO didn't allow me to use custom port easily.

    What's your go-to Raspi alternative while the shortage continues?

    I've been looking at getting a j4125 based mini computer because I need that gigabit ethernet.

    How do you backup your PGP keys?

    I'm interested to know whether you have a specific process or tool you use for managing your PGP keys? I was thinking it'd be great if Lemmy allowed you to use PGP to verify your identity across multiple users on different instances. This made me think I need a good way to make sure I never lose my keys!

    Any interest in a Linux audio community?

    Hello, recently joined after 14 years on reddit, not sure if anyone would recognise me but I was mildly active in Linux subreddits, especially /r/linuxaudio. Is there any interest in creating a similar community here? I have started getting back into making music on Linux after a few years where my job took over my life. Edit: Please check out: https://waveform.social/c/linuxaudio and let me know if you want to join in moderation

    Cannot select "undetermined" language

    The settings page says "Warning: If you deselect Undetermined, you will not see most content.", however there is no option for this. I can't comment on other communities, is this related?
