  • 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.

  • 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!
