Sorry, this is OT regarding to Linux, but not for audio in general and perhaps it could protect some people from the list against a popular misconception about lightning protection. Does somebody know how (in)effectively overvoltage protections for wall sockets in pre-WWII residential buildings are? I suspect that were I live, will be no pre-protections. It seems to be that a concrete-footing ground electrode and ground fault interrupter were the only things that were retrofitted and btw. I'm even not sure if the concrete-footing ground electrode isn't just a fake. AFAIK know consumer wall socket overvoltage protections are completely useless, when living in a pre-WWII residential building. Does anybody know if there's a way to protect equipment against damages by lightning when there are no pre-protections?
