They never said I'd feel like a fool, but mentioned that I'd probably understand later in life, and they were spot on, but it comes gruadually.

As an example: when I started paying my own bills, I stopped taking endless showers and later started being frustrated when my kids do.

I also very recently started understanding why they hated smartphones with small screens as they typed so slowly, as I keep mis-typing more and more myself.

So I'd say it starts when moving out and the realities of life hits you square in the face, and then the rest come dripping slowly over time.
Becomming a parent slaps you with another big load as well.

Finn is the dominant one by a longshot.
A few positions could be posted on nav.no (government social security firm), but it's not really worth checking.

For language, if you're serious, I'd probably find a Discord channel for people wanting to learn. It's literally how I met the missus.
We all learn differently, but finding someone with a shared hobby that you can talk to while doing said hobby is effective. We had gaming in common.
Talking is, at least for me, a million times better than reading and studying.

Best of luck to you, and let me know if you have any questions.

And: it's not utopia here. We have issues as well. Just make sure you remove any rose tinted glasses before comitting countless hours.

Yeah it's tricky, but not impossible. We are small, but not small enough for most jobs to be handed out based on nepotism.

I'd say the main hurdle is language. If you don't speak Norwegian, or another Scandinavian language, the selection of jobs shrinks considerably.

If you actually wish to move, I'd recommend looking for jobs on Finn.no and apply when something relevant pops up.
Being non-socially invested doesn't disqualify you.

Let me know if you're serious and want some help.

Cool, well then I can at least share what I went with that has worked really well: GMKtech N100 NUC from Aliexpress with 16 GB of RAM.

It's hosting Jellyfin with transcoding, PiHole, Home Assistant, Heimdal, a Valheim server and loads of other small LXC's in Proxmox.
I don't think I've ever seen it break a sweat.
The NAS holds the .arr stack and Qbit, but that's it.

I cannot speak to the longevity of it, but I repasted the CPU once I got it and it's chilling below 45 degrees all day long, so I expect it to last for many years. I also enabled C-states to get idle consumption as low as possible, around 7-8W.

Best of luck with whatever setup you end up with mate!

I run a 4 bay and a N100 NUC.

The Synology is almost a pure storage machine. Works really well with Proxmox on the side. Not a single file has made it kneel yet, and I’ve thrown some high bitrate badboys on it.

Is not upgrading the drives an alternative?

I feel like you sacrifice a lot of practicality removing the NAS, such as automatic backup from phones and very easy remote access.
Personally I also prefer separating data and software, so I don’t lose it all if a component fails.

Just my .02

You could marry, at least for Norway.

Few mail order brides available though, so you’d have to make an effort finding someone who likes you back

Ah, welcome to the Nordics!

Hard as fuck to get in, or so I’ve heard.
The shipping might be slower than you’re used to, but we check of on the rest.

See you soon?

Am European, but not in the EU.
Wish I could do my part too

This is a thought experiment only, of course.
He would never actually drop his pizza on the floor. That makes no sense.

No matter how many drives I add to my NAS, there is always another "you" out there showing me it could be worse.

Cheers!

RT is fine, but I turn off DLSS.

I prefer 3440x1440 over 4K so my GPU is a bit happier. I also «only» have 165 Hz, which is enough for me. Won’t replace the 3080 untill it strugles with this setup

[–] Bronzie@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 weeks ago

Honestly: no.

There are only so many things I can focus on at once and I’m quite good at not letting the others affect me.

Work, kids and friends take most of my time. My «crisis» of choice to stay updated on is Ukraine. Everything else I read on now and then, when I feel like it.

I quite enjoy just touching grass and being in the moment instead of stressing about things I have no control over.

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!

 

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!
