    I’m not saying it’s not true, but nowhere on that page is there the word donation. And if it is, the fact that it is described and a license, tied to a server or a user causes a lot of confusion to me, especially when combined with the fact that there is no paywall but that it requires registration.

    Why use the term license, server and user? Why not simply say donation and with the option of displaying the support by getting exclusive access to a badge like signal does?

    Again, I’m very happy immich is free, it is great software and it deserves support but this is just super confusing to me and the buy.immich.app link does not clarify things nor does that blog post.

    Edit: typo


  • Hi and thank you so much for the fantastic work on Immich! I’m hoping to get a chance to try it out soon, with the first stable release!

    One question on the financial support page: is it not a donation? There is a per server and a per user purchase, but I thought immich was exclusively self hosted, is it not? Or is this more like a way to say thanks while giving some hints as to how immich is being used privately? Or is there a way to actually pay to have immich host a server for one?

    Thanks for clarifying!


  • Tried calibre for the first time this week. Geez how simple it was to get it up and place my first eBook on my reader. It was all done in a matter of some few minutes, very intuitively. I didn’t even need to get any documentation open. Great tool!




  • What exact GPU are you considering? While GPUs like the 3060/4060 technically support raytracing, they will not offer a sufficiently comfortable experience to make use of it. You’ll definitely have to consider a more powerful GPU. So if you are in the market for a sub-500$ GPU, you can simply ignore raytracing. And that is even more true the higher up in resolution you go.

    Here you can witness the drop in performance (on average about 30%) due to raytracing on high end cards, at high resolution with dlss/fsr: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTeKzJsoL3k




  • Marvelous :) Good on you for taking this leap. The Linux community on Lemmy can help if you need any advice or guidance. I have been rocking fedora for the last few years and I’ve been very pleased, also with an Nvidia GPU.

    I’m curious if you have any resources to get setup with the Nvidia drivers, different from mine? My reference has always been: https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA

    And it’s always worked like a charm, both for legacy hardware and new hardware.








  • I’m not sure but I think the oobe command is specifically for windows 11 and so I don’t know if it works on windows 10.

    But I thought windows 10 still allowed for an offline account? Perhaps it depends on which edition you use, whether it’s home or not? If you are invited to connect to your Microsoft account, is there below an option which says “sign-in options”? If you click it, there should be a way to an “offline account”, is there?


  • There is also this quote, which is weird:

    The only media that syncs is media that was sent/received in the last 45 days, because that’s how long encrypted media lives on Signal’s servers in order to match the current maximum timeframe for queued messages for offline devices. Media older that that will not be available.

    So that begs the question, if text messages don’t live longer, why are they able to sync from older than 45 days? I’m guessing its because they are sent p2p? But in that case, why is media then not also sent p2p? Is it because of amount of data/transfer speeds?
