Does a surge protector for a whole circuit exist? in c/[email protected]

I saw that on the specs. It's still better than nothing. Now I'll have to see if it's available in Canada. A quick search didn't reveal anything but I'll have more time to tonight.

I've built a small office for myself with outlets all over the room. They are all on one circuit I'd like to protect them all with a single surge protector.

I imagine their should be some product similar to a GFI outlet that would protect itself and everything past it on the circuit. I could mount it next to my panel and run the wiring straight to it before continuing on to my office. But I can't find such a device.

The two closest things I've found are a whole home surge protector which seems like overkill. And this outlet from Leviton which is a surge protector, but only for itself. It won't protect anything else on the circuit.

I could obviously use a power bar with a built in surge protector but part of the idea of having a bunch of outlets around the room was to remove the need for a power bar and keep everything cleaner.

Does anyone know if what I'm imagining actually exists?

I did too. I'm actually in the middle of playing through a fan remake of it with a ton of quality of life improvements:

Very slowly. I am in the middle of mudding a small office I'm adding to my basement. Between kids and other events, I seem to be getting one layer on per week.

What Linux distro surprised you the most? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

Yeah, I tried a variety of Debian based distros to start my Linux journey and but eventually just settled on Debian stable and haven't looked back.

I made that switch a few months ago just so I could cut, copy and paste without having to lookup how to do it. it's been great.

There isn't a 2nd number on the east side of Andorra so I think the 623 is the total with Spain.

It's Saturday, what is the latest funny thing that your child did or said? in c/[email protected]

Daughter: Let's play a game where we say a thing and the first one to say a thing wins.

Me: Okay, when do we start?

Daughter: Right now. Bun!

Me: Salad!

Daughter: I won because i said something first!

Me: Okay, let's play again. Wheel!

Daughter: Tree!

Me: Did i win?

Daughter: No, that time we were trying to say something second so I won.

Freaky Friday - what was the last thing your child was afraid about? in c/[email protected]

Mine is also afraid of the commercial toilets flushing. I have to hold my hand over the sensor while she washes her hands and leaves the room. Only then can I let it flush.

It is just the noise though. It echoes a lot iin most bathrooms too.

Yeah, it really is odd that so many people have to use a commercial third party for taxes when the vast majority of people have very simple situations.
