We don't. He's full of shit.

The right (FRP) is on a hard decline atm, allmost back behind Høyre. People tend to think a bit more before voting than when answering a random questionaire.

Great comeback when being called out on spreading horseshit, mate.

Please read up on the current state of Norwegian politics before sharing any more of your interesting "knowledge".

18-29 year olds being populist is most certainly not tearing the country to shreds.

The latest polls have AP back on top. Currently, neither centre right or centre left have a clear win.

We’ll see what happens come September

Why Balcony Solar Panels Haven’t Taken Off in the US in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] Bronzie@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

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.

Are OLED monitors worth it without HDR? in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.world
[–] Bronzie@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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?

I've been rocking the original Acer X34 since 2014 and feel like upgrading again. Specifically the AW3423DWF tickles my fancy, but I'm struggling to decide whether or not it is worth it on Mint without HDR support.

I've only been running Linux for about a year and have gotten quite comfortable with Mint, but see that I'd need to change distro if I want to use the Plasma DE, which is the only (?) one with decent HDR support at the moment?

Do any of you run HDR capable monitors in Linux?
If yes: is it worth the purchase even if I stick to SDR mode or would you recommend re-rolling distro to get support today?
If I change it up, I'm looking at Fedora.

Thanks in advance!

Your recommendation for smart plug (sh.itjust.works)
 

I'm tinkering with our ventilation over-pressure function in combination with an inline fan I run when 3D printing or soldering, to get the fumes and particulates out while simultaneously not creating a massive vacuum inside. The plan is to control it with MQTT from HA to a PLC that controls the ventilation via RS-485.

Therefore I'm looking for a simple but clean looking smart plug that I can integrate with HA to let me know when the fan is on (pulling power, actual wattage is irrelevant) to automatically enable this function.

I know Sonoff makes some, but I always prefer personal advice over random search results.
Preferably Zigbee or WiFi (offline) as I don't have any Matter/Z-wave hub/dongle. Compact design and black would be nice, but not a must. Stability and ease of setup matters more than added functionality.

Does anyone have any personal experience to share?
I'm grateful if you do. Thanks!

Experience with Autobrr? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I’m strugling a bit making it work as intended.
I set it up to push straight to Sonarr/Radarr and it works, but my ratio on everything is still bad. I’m guessing something is taking time, making me lose out on the initial swarm.

My connection is wired Gbit.

It’s not really a problem as I seed forever and have a great ratio, but I still want it to function or at least understand why it doesn’t.

Appreciate any advice!

Lemmy equivalent to Trackersignups? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Does anyone know if it exists and is active?

Looking to join alternative quality trackers and I’m trying to avoid Reddit.

Not asking for invites, just help being there once it opens up.

Preferably with some sort of freeleech rules to get going as I hate the initial hustle, downloading random stuff to build a buffer. My NAS is running 24/7 so seeding is not an issue anyways.

Would also like to hear your experiences and recomendations on trackers. Currently active on TL and very happy with them.

Cheers!

Need a little guidance on grinding (sh.itjust.works)
 

Morning Gentlepeople.

As a coffee newbie I am having some small issues while trying to improve my game. I have a Oracle Touch and subscrube to a local monthly coffee delivery, so my beans change weekly.

My issue is that the grind setting is incredibly different from bean to bean. With my last bag, grind 14 gave a perfect 1:2,5 ratio. With a different bean today, I had to discard two cups before learning that grind size 3 gave me the same ratio. 14 gave me 1:3,5 which tasted rubbish.

The problem is that I got channeling and very little crema.

I guess the questions are: do different beans require completely different ratios or am I doing something very wrong?
Should I accept a very high ratio to avoid channeling on certain beans?
Or should my timer be lower on certain beans?

Thanks in advance for any help and have a great cup this morning!

Best trackers for returning sailor (sh.itjust.works)
 

After a decade of being a law abiding citizen and paying customer of every streaming service between here and the moon, I’ve given it all up and come back to the high seas.
It’s all being split up between more and more services with ever growing prices.
If they make it hard to be a customer, I’d rather not be one.

So I grabbed myself a NAS, set up all relevant .ARRs and am torrenting again.
What trackers do you guys with experience recommend?
Are the free ones still good enough or do I need to cry my way into a private one?
The NAS is running 24/7 so I will be a good seeder, so if anybody has an invite to a good private tracker I’d be very happy to contribute to it.

Thank you in advance Gentlepeople!
