I would like to host my photos in Immich as mentioned here in the thread. I currently have my photos in the Apple Cloud. Does anyone have any tips on how I can download the photos in original quality without a Mac?
I use an old thinkpad with Linux. There you can set a charging stop at e.g. 85%. Then you don’t have a need to unplug the battery

Re:MessagePack: It's like JSON, but fast and small. on Sunday January 12, 2025 @04:24AM (#42672309)
In our C++ project, we use the nlohmann library for handling JSON data. When sending JSON over MQTT, we leverage a built-in function of nlohmann to serialize our JSON objects into the MessagePack format. You can simply call jsonObj.to_msgpack(). Similarly, the data can be decoded back easily.
Re:German Naming Convention on Tuesday November 19, 2024 @02:06PM (#42186975)
But in Germany we are also very good at finding funny abbreviations. For example, the state's tax software is called ELSTER. ELSTER stands for „ELektronische STeuerERklärung“, which, funnily enough, is a thieving bird. The english bird name is magpie.

Re:AMD Ryzen 5 2500X and Ryzen 3 2300X CPU Review on Monday February 11, 2019 @05:27PM (#19139025)
Yeah it will be for gaming ;)

And what is with the diff between 2600 and non x? I think I need an aftermarket cooler for both variants .. and the 2600 (non x) are cheaper in Power consumption and the clock losses are acceptable, or not?

And a b450 Mainboard will also be good enough? Im using a Nvidia 1060 6gb graphic Card.

Re:AMD Ryzen 5 2500X and Ryzen 3 2300X CPU Review on Monday February 11, 2019 @03:28PM (#19137967)
Im looking for an Upgrade for my PC at the moment and can't decide between ryzen 5 2600(x) and 7 2700(x).

Now if i know that AMD is Planning to release the zen2 in May(?) I think I have to buy the 5 2600 because of the price fall at release.

I also need any Tips for a good Mainboard :)
