Why do such a large amounts of projects build for self hosting try to incorporate external AI functionality. Connecting with openai or claude. Doesn't that defeat the point of self hosting? Wether it is not being reliant on others hardware or privacy concerns, I cannot see it making sense. What do you think?

Hi all!

I have been trying to find a sollution for my idea. I am currently digitalizing a about 500 older photos from family from my partner. A lot of them have things written on the back, in different languages. Probably super interesting and would really like to keep it together with the picture when digitalizing.

So, I would really like to use immich for storing and accessing these photos (yes with backups ofcourse) later, also because it makes it super easy to share with the family. But I cannot figure out what would be a good way to keep the back of the photos somehow linked (stacked?) with the front sides. Is there anyone who has some experience with this here and found or knows a solution to do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Edit: Maybe relevant to know, I am just using a top scanner of a printer to scan the photos and automatically crop them. No fancy epson fastfoto or similar things.
