This weekend I finally freed my pc from Windows10 and installed cachyOS. It all worked better and easier than expected.

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

xcircle — Sun, 12 Jan 2025 09:24:44 +0000

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.

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.

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.

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 :)
