Why so much work when you get back? Don't other people in the business handle it while you are away?

I haven't checked, but the Clementine one might work as strawberry is just a fork of clementine.

Best way to embed face tags in photos (feddit.uk)
 

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.

Why does nobody maintain PPAs anymore? (feddit.uk)
 

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?

Radical New Discovery Could Double The Speed of Existing Computers - simultaneous and heterogeneous multithreading (www.msn.com)
 

Does anyone know more about this? Sounds like distributing tasks to other processors that are not really designed for the job? Articles are making it out to be a miracle and not sure whether to believe it

Not sure what it is about this song but it really gets me. A sort of slightly melancholic ecstasy.

How to route transmission through Mullvad? (feddit.uk)
 

Does anyone know the best way to route traffic from transmission through Mullvad?

I have transmissionset up on my plex server which I control using tranmission remote and want to download my Linux ISOs with privacy.

I have downloaded the wireguard config and can connect to it using wg-quick, but I don't want all traffic going through it, only transmission.
