HowTo Geek ☛ I use a free, open-source Linux photo manager that actually shines on Windows
What I like is that the feature feels optional instead of intrusive. You can let it run in the background, clean up the results when you have time, and watch the app gradually get better at identifying people. It won’t replace cloud-level AI like Google Photos, and Lightroom still has more polish in this area, but digiKam gives you enough accuracy to be genuinely helpful without sending anything online or locking the feature behind a subscription. It’s a good balance if you just want a simple, local way to tag the people who show up the most in your photos.

Kevin Fenzi: infra weeksly recap: Late November 2025
Another busy week in fedora infrastructure. Here's my attempt at a recap of the more interesting items.
[...]
This datacenter move is still planned to happen. :) I was waiting for a new machine to migrate things to, but it's stuck in process, so instead I just repurposed for now a older server that we still had around. I've setup a new stg.pagure.io on it and copied all the staging data to it, it seems to be working as expected, but I haven't moved it in dns yet.
I then setup a new pagure.io there and am copying data to it now.
The current plan if all goes well is to have an outage and move pagure.io over on december 3rd.
Then, on December 8th, the rest of our RDU2-CC hardware will be powered off and moved. The rest of the items we have there shouldn't be very impactful to users and contributors. download-cc-rdu01 will be down, but we have a bunch of other download servers. Some proxies will be down, but we have a bunch of other proxy servers. After stuff comes back up on the 8th or 9th we will bring things back on line.
