Most of Norway (my house included) is still stuck on IT, so 230V phase/phase.
The only place it really sucks is for modern induction hobs where 25A @ 230V is a bit low (5,75 kW, max on mine is 7,2 kW) and the EV charge box (3,6 kW or 7,2 kW max instead of 11 or 22 kW).

They are however changing to TN for new areas.

Upside is that the earth current will be very small when you have a fault, so the system can function with it. I believe this is why critical institutions like hospitals run IT and not TN/TT.

Yeah I mean, there are ish 130 million households in the US. If your way of doing up wiring was so bad, you’d have fires everywhere all the time.
It’s just a different way of doing it. Not better or worse, inherently.

The only thing I thoroughly dislike that you guys do are wire nuts. I know I will piss of some American sparkies, but holy fudge they are crappy. When even the professionals can mess it up by twisting poorly/wrong, it’s bound to cause issues for less experienced people. Just use WAGO’s.

#SorryNotSorry!!

Comprehensive write up. Thanks for this!

The main reason I went for it now was that the panel has been out a few years and the price is more in line with what I’d like to spend. I’m guessing this new tech will be quite costly to begin with?
The early adopter tax thankfully no longer gives me a high, but I will read up on these and maybe they will be relevant next time around.
Seems like interesting tech, for sure!

I have been dreaming of dabling with Arch, but I just don’t feel ready for it, if that makes sense?
With kids, work and life getting in the way, I just don’t have the hours to tinker with stuff like I used to.

Maybe in a few years when they are older.

I have set up a few headless homeservers with Debian. Hopefully that experience will help then

I have that too, but being a dad limits my gaming time so much that I reckon the monitor is obsolete, technology wise, by the time it becomes an issue.

Time will tell I guess

Goof clips with mates are the best!

Your reasoning makes sense. Thanks again!

Yeah I have a few extra SSD’s in the system, so maybe I’ll give dual booting a crack later on.

Thanks for sharing your experience!

Order placed. Cheers mate

Appreciate the input mate. The overwhelming response here was so positive that I just bit the bullet and ordered it.

Life’s to short to have 11 year old monitors, ey?

Guess I’m just “worried” the upgrade in color accuracy and response time won’t be enough to warrant the purchase, but you all seem encouraging so I’m leaning towards upgrading. Cheers !

Short and sweet, awesome mate. I appreciate your advice!

Just you being happy with SDR is a positive sign for me, so thanks for the feedback. What do you stream/record?

Good to know that you are happy with it in SDR while gaming, which will be my biggest use-case. Cheers!

Cheers mate. Monitors at work aren’t exactly made for popping colours, so I have probably convinced myself the old dog at home is better than it actually is

No problem, friend.

Feel free to ask if you need some help setting stuff up and good luck!

Yes, end-to-end. Only you have access to the files. Proton does not.

Yes Sir.

I do a backup of Proxmox to the NAS once a week and auto-delete anything older than one month, and I upload those and all pictures and critical files to the cloud. Critical files being personal data, information about the house, insurance papers etc.
Personally I use Proton and have 1 TB, which has been more than enough. It is also encrypted.

Movies, music and TV shows are not backed up as I don’t consider them critical at all. It can all be re-downloaded if needed.

I know there is unRAID and TrueNAS, but I went with a traditional NAS (Synology, before all the fuckery) and a small N100 NUC on the side.
The NAS is critical for the whole family with backups, pictures and general files, so I need it to be 110%. On it, I just run the .arr stack, Surveilance Station and Qbit, and the NUC runs all my other containers like Jellyfin and Home Assistant. Full access to the files via NFS and it gives me good power for transcoding when needed. Even 4K high bitrate files play seamlessly on WiFi now.

It’s been rock solid and I would probably do it the same way again if I had to rebuild.

Best of luck finding the appropriate solution for your needs, mate!

I do it from home and do just fine.
My «trick» was to only download complete seasons and movies larger than 14 GB to get loads of freeleech to build ratio and just keep seeding them.

I’m at >10 ratio on TL and stopped caring about sizes as the pool of old files outseed anything new I download.

But I get your point: seedboxes have made it a lot harder to do effortlessly from home

80€ ish for symetric 750 mbit.

Norway is high cost, so I’m quite pleased with it.
