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?
Dude I’ve poured concrete less dense than you, and my house is still standing.
If you’re too dumb, and I refuse to apologize for using ad-hominem replying to comments like yours, to see that russia is brutally attacking and slaughtering innocent Ukrainian civilians, then there is just no hope left for you.
Hope you step on Lego, you troll
Yeah we’re being royally shafted in the Nordics as well. It’s the downside of us only having one distributor in the whole region and being a relatively rich part of the planet.
Using Google to convert, these are the prices in CAD right now, all with taxes from a price finder:
Mario Kart: CA$132,78 (NOK 977)
Switch 2: CA$909,87 (NOK 6695)
Switch 2 bundle: CA$1012,35 (NOK 7449)
Let’s just say I’m keeping my Homebrewed Switch and PC and give Nintendo the middle finger for now…!
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!
Moi from Norway.
I’m so envious!! Haven’t had a chance to use my Blackbird for two years now, because of a baby.
Longing for a weekend with a hammock, primus and packraft without any noise. Hopefully next year…!
Hope you had a great time!
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
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.
It’s mostly a design choice that happens to reduce drag to improve efficiency.
And possibly another part that breaks, causing turnover at shops down the line…?
Both our EV’s have normal handles, which was actually important for us living somewhere it snows and I want a handle I can pull when shit is frozen stuck.
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.
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.
I did not expect to find a Kvelertak fan in this thread! Cool!
If you ever decide to learn a little to understand them, know that the dialect in Stavanger is very different to what you normally learn.
Hehe yeah I feel you mate.
I ride motorcycles and struggle getting used to scooters. The almost digital feeling throttle control (on/off, speed will come eventually) is not for me.
Enjoy your scooters this summer!
I find it interesting how those of us having learned with manuals just know when to shift after a while, even if the music is blaring.
You sort of just feel it.
You’ll get there soon, OP, just keep practicing!
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.
