  • Ice cream trucks still around?

    Jump

  • Yeah they drive around all summer in Norway. Hear them once or twice a week.

  • What's y'all favorite soda/soft drink

    Jump

  • My man!

    Urge is still my go to every single time I want soda. Solo for easter and Julebrus for Christmas

  • What was that thing you got really good at, and how good are you?

    Jump

  • Reading people.Had some troubles with family members and drugs growing up, so you learn to read situations and people real fast. I guess it’s a survival skill as addicts often say and do what they need to to get their next fix.

    A nice «skill» to have, even though I’d rather I didn’t need to develop it

  • Best plex/jellyfin compatible streaming box

    Jump

  • I’m using a Chromecast with Google TV, simply because that’s what I had when I started.Hoping a new Shield will come before it does, alternatively I need to find something else.

    After I migrated to a N100 that does all transcoding for me, the media device itself is more about codec support, a nice UI and response times and less about raw power.

  • Our parents promised us we would feel like fools for thinking we were smarter than them as kids. When exactly does that start?

    Jump

  • Sounds rough my friend. Mine were trying to guide, but without yelling or consequences.

    Glad to hear you kept the good bits and do allright for yourself these days!

  • Our parents promised us we would feel like fools for thinking we were smarter than them as kids. When exactly does that start?

    Jump

  • Can't say I can relate, sadly.

    Could you share some examples?

  • Our parents promised us we would feel like fools for thinking we were smarter than them as kids. When exactly does that start?

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Seems like the perfect day to ask: Muricans, what's your dream country to expatriate to? Non-Muricans, what's the thought on accepting US refugees?

    Jump

  • 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.

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Outgrown my Synology NAS, time for a proper dedicated machine

    Jump

  • 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!

  • Outgrown my Synology NAS, time for a proper dedicated machine

    Jump

  • 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?

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

  • What does 1000€ buy you in your favourite hobby?

    Jump

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

    Cheers!

  • What is your opinion on ray/path tracing and real time upscaling (DLSS/FSR/XeSS) in video games?

    Jump

  • 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

  • Does anyone else feel overwhelmed by how the world is going this year?

    Jump

  • 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 don't disagree with you, but there are loads of technical issues for laptops in the range between 100W and 240W where it just isn't feasible to do it this way.

    240W is 48V and creates massive amounts of heat, which is difficult to deal with in a small laptop.You also run into problems with cable length if you want to connect to a dock and have that power with high bandwidth data transfer. Longer cables makes the bandwidth fall of a cliff, and the ones that follow the specs are insanely expensive.

    So I'd say yeah, it would be nice, but we're not there with the tech yet for more power hungry laptops, sadly.

  • Is there a song in a foreign language you like the melody to but didnt know the lyrics?

    Jump

  • Yeah!I've had "V blbym veku" from Xindl X in a playlist for 10 years.I don't understand a single work, but it just speaks to me for some weird reason.
