in europe you can not have haphazardly build electricity system without calling it "lab". (you need electrician to do your electricity work, but calling it "lab" you can do it yourself )

so in that sense i agree that homelab is just another hijacked term to allow people do nonproductive nonsense just to feel great.

look you have people here and on youtube selling (in more ways then one) nonsensical farces like "RPI cluster" etc. so i would argue that nonresistance to these farces actually proves OP is right. albeit i do not really see strong nor attacking rhetoric from OP in his post either, so i think problem is just that you have to chill out ;)

"degoogling" cost canada their sovereignty. just to refer to events of the past days... so even american president has to say something about it, so i think there is something to it, dont you think ?

As a Canadian who doesn't follow daily news, I'm very curious to know what you're referring to in your last paragraph. Care to elaborate?

or he is passive aggressive.

> in europe

Laws don't work like this in the EU, let alone in all of Europe.

[Calwestjobs]

of course you can not have your whole house be build like that, but calling one room as lab is allowed in most continental europe countries.

noone cares in Russia etc, you just have to make small donation to your public official (if they even care/notice) and everything is fine,

even those pizzaboxes...

EDIT: in most countries there are devices which can not be connected to grid without electrician in any case, like PV. but again germany has balkon PV something something. so yes, exceptions are to everything.

Well in Finland there is nothing like this for sure. You cannot do 230V electricity work regardless of what you call the rooms. I would really like to hear more about this in other European countries.

[esperent]

I've never heard of anything like this in Ireland or the UK. Every house is wired for 230v so you can connect pretty much anything you like up to whatever power the socket can handle. Normally 13-16A, but you can install an appliance circuit up to 45A.

[FinnKuhn]

Definitely not a thing in Germany either. Technically you even need an electrician to install a lamp in your ceiling.

[Calwestjobs]

100% there are temporary wiring / temporary installation exemptions in civilized parts of europe.

[juahan]

A Quick peek into the Finnish law tells me that the temporary wiring requirements are even more strict. There is no way to do any of that legally without license and proper training.

So I guess we are not civilized enough then.

[Calwestjobs]

i was commenting on nonsensical spreading of toxic activities. so that is that. so be uncivilised to youtubers spreading such toxic content not to me ,thank you.

> in civilized parts of europe

Ah, lovely. Racism.

Please speak clearly, which parts of Europe do you consider to be civilized, and which parts uncivilized?

[Calwestjobs]
