Trump threatening 35% tariffs on Canadian goods across the board

Getting tired of this bullshit.

Text of the article at the time of posting:

Trump threatening 35% tariffs on Canadian goods across the board


Trump and PM Carney have been locked in negotiations to reach a trade agreement by July 21

Darren Major · CBC News · Posted: Jul 10, 2025 5:46 PM PDT | Last Updated: 15 minutes ago

U.S. President Donald Trump is threatening to slap a 35 per cent tariff on all Canadian goods as the two countries have been engaged in negotiations to reach some sort of trade agreement.

Trump's latest threat came in a letter to Prime Minister Mark Carney that the president posted to his social media site, Truth Social, on Thursday evening.

"There will be no tariff if Canada, or companies within your country, decide to manufacture product within the United States," the letter reads.

Trump said the tariffs will take effect on Aug. 1, and wrote that he will increase the levies if Canada retaliates.

Trump and Carney have been locked in negotiations to come to some sort of trade resolution by July 21. CBC News has reached out to the Prime Minister's Office for comment.

In his letter, Trump again cited fentanyl "pouring" into the U.S. from Canada — even though data continues to show that minimal amounts of the drug are crossing the Canada-U.S. border compared to the U.S.'s southern border.

Trump has been complaining about fentanyl crossing the northern border since he was re-elected in November, and after taking office he imposed tariffs he said are designed to punish Canada for not doing enough to crack down on the fentanyl drug trade.

Now, the president seems to be taking the border-related tariffs a step further by promising a 35 per cent levy. The U.S. is currently imposing a 25 per cent tariff on all non-CUSMA compliant goods coming from Canada and a lower 10 per cent rate on energy and potash as part of a border-related tariffs regime.

Ottawa announced a $1.3-billion investment in border security and named a fentanyl czar to address the fentanyl concerns coming from the White House.

The U.S. has also hit Canadian steel, aluminum and autos with an import levy, which have been particularly damaging to the Canadian economy, leading to job losses and a drop in exports.

Trump has also been promising to slap a 50 per cent tariff on copper coming into the U.S. According to federal data, Canada exported some $9.3 billion worth of copper and copper-based products in 2023, with a majority of that — 52 per cent — going to the U.S. China and Japan followed, with 17 and 12 per cent of Canadian exports, respectively.


Trump threatens 35% tariffs on Canada starting Aug. 1

U.S. President Donald Trump announced Thursday that starting Aug. 1, the U.S. will charge a 35 per cent tariff on Canadian products sent into the country.

Our leaderships tried appeasement and appeal to "fortress Can-Am". Maybe they are all paid/programmed to be loyal CIA colonists, and had to at least try keeping the same political capital that brought them to leadership. Fine, we are open to joining EU in context of CIA colonies and NATO subservience, with absurd 5% of GDP spent primarily on US weapons, but that EU proposition must change.

Yes, Canada, EU, and Asian colonies should coordinate on US war against them. It has to be in the context of an alliance with China against the US, or the serious threat of that as a negotiation stance, and full detente with China until negotiations are successful. Removing US from NATO, Council of Americas, and NORAD or charging them significant rent for any bases/presence/services. We must end the US project of a proxy war on Russia, and the delusional fear manufacturing that Russia is a bigger threat than the US, that we only make true through US programed suicidal hatred towards Russia. Joining EU for purposes of distracting population that a war on Russia is more important than economic collapse, just because political power can be rallied behind instead of rejected as cause of collapse, it a bad reason to join EU.

Carney's "The special relationship with US is over" has to be followed up with different behaviour than begging to be a more subservient colony. Maybe this is the final wakeup call? If not, just more abuse to follow.

Documenting ICE Agents’ Brutal Use of Force in LA Immigration Raids
Jonah Valdez
July 7 2025, 6:00 a.m.

"Agents have aimed firearms and sprayed chemical irritants at onlookers and protesters. They have launched tear gas and flash bang grenades into crowds. They have beaten the people they detain, struck them with batons, and restrained them face down in a prone position, pressing them into the pavement and restricting their abilities to breathe.

Agents often deployed these violent tactics against the targets of immigration raids — people they presumed to be undocumented immigrants. In the majority of cases reviewed for this story, federal agents used force against U.S. citizens who were attempting to document raids or intervene by putting their bodies between the agents and their neighbors. "

DHS Tells Police That Common Protest Activities Are ‘Violent Tactics’
[T]he guidance urges officers to consider a range of nonviolent behavior and common protest gear—like masks, flashlights, and cameras—as potential precursors to violence, telling officers to prepare “from the point of view of an adversary.”

Protesters on bicycles, skateboards, or even “on foot” are framed as potential “scouts” conducting reconnaissance or searching for “items to be used as weapons.” Livestreaming is listed alongside “doxxing” as a “tactic” for “threatening” police. Online posters are cast as ideological recruiters—or as participants in “surveillance sharing.”

One list of “violent tactics” shared by the Los Angeles–based Joint Regional Intelligence Center—part of a post-9/11 fusion network—includes both protesters’ attempts to avoid identification and efforts to identify police. The memo also alleges that face recognition, normally a tool of law enforcement, was used against officers.

Vera Eidelman, a senior staff attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union, says the government has no business treating constitutionally protected activities—like observing or documenting police—as threats.

DHS did not respond to a request for comment.

“Exercising those rights shouldn't be justification for adverse action or suspicion by the government,” Eidelman says. Labeling something as harmless as skateboarding at a protest as a violent threat is “disturbing and dangerous,” she adds, and could “easily lead to excessive force against people who are simply exercising their First Amendment rights.”

“The DHS report repeatedly conflates basic protest, organizing, and journalism with terroristic violence, thereby justifying ever more authoritarian measures by law enforcement,” says Ryan Shapiro, executive director of Property of the People. “It should be sobering, if unsurprising, that the Trump regime’s response to mass criticism of its police state tactics is to escalate those tactics.”

I appreciate rust as much as the next dev. But you can define your own types in C just as well? And with the proper warnings and errors -Wall -Werror in place, any warning is an error, and implicit conversions should probably be a warning right?

ETA: Just tried with the following C code and could not get it to fail with gcc.

typedef int t_0;
typedef long t_1;

t_0 test() {
  t_1 foo = 1;
  return foo;
}

Tried with gcc -Wall -Wextra -Wpedantic -Werror and it compiled just fine.

Freed from ICE detention, Mahmoud Khalil files $20 million claim against Trump administration
NEW YORK (AP) — On a recent afternoon, Mahmoud Khalil sat in his Manhattan apartment, cradling his 10-week-old son as he thought back to the pre-dawn hours spent pacing a frigid immigration jail in Louisiana, awaiting news of the child’s birth in New York.

For a moment, the outspoken Palestinian activist found himself uncharacteristically speechless.

“I cannot describe the pain of that night,” Khalil said finally, gazing down as the baby, Deen, cooed in his arms. “This is something I will never forgive.”

Top Reform UK councillor was 'pen friend' of Al Qaeda 9/11 'architect'
A man who became "pen friends" with a top terrorist responsible for 9/11 has been given a senior role by Reform UK, the Express can reveal. Rory Green, who was elected as a Reform UK county councillor in May, made national headlines in 2014 when he began corresponding with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the “architect” of the terror attacks that killed 3,000 people.

Mr Green has now been appointed as the council cabinet member responsible for children and families on Nottinghamshire County Council. At the time, Mr Green said he wrote to Mr Mohammed because he “had this compassion for him” as a result of his Christian faith. He told the media: “He is obviously an educated individual, an intellectual. It must be so lonely in that prison. I just had this compassion for him."

The Reform councillor received a 27-page handwritten reply from the top Al Qaeda organiser, who has been in captivity at Guantanamo Bay since 2006.

Is it possible to boot a disk image in DOSbox from the host OS terminal, or by double-clicking the disk image?

I'd like to just casually boot straight into a game sometimes, or at least a mounted floppy. I don't want to type commands is DOSbox for casual situations like this.

I'm focussing on games that can run straight from the floppy drive. Thanks!

Edit: I tried variations of this command in the macOS terminal:

/Applications/DOSBox\ Staging.app/Contents/MacOS/dosbox -c "imgmount a '/Users/io/Downloads/Prince.img' -t floppy" -c "a:" -c "dir /p"

The idea is that it would open DOSbox in the A: location, run dir /p. I should see prince.exe listed. Unfortunately what actually happens is I'm given a listing of Z: instead. When I try to switch to A:, I'm told that it needs to be mounted first. But I thought my terminal command takes care of that.

For totally generic games that boot straight off the floppy disk, the default config tends to work just fine. Like I said in my other comment though, I used a temporary config file, based on the default config, but I would append the boot image filename/path to the [AUTOEXEC] section at the end of the temporary dosbox.conf file.

It might be easier for you for now to make individual config files for each game, but it should be possible like I said to make a generic script to boot basically any PC floppy disk image directly.

I'll see later whatever I have around.

My brother just had a similar bill for his dog... A mysterious infection that made her leg swell and took multiple rounds of antibiotics and IV/overnight stays to clear up. Then they realized the cause of the infection was a torn tendon on her leg which they had to repair through surgery. Incidentally through all these tests they were doing for the infection they discovered a highly treatable cancer which resulted in further surgery to remove a softball sized tumour. Dog is 8 so she's likely to still have a few years in her if all goes well...

How come I've got my NVIDIA GPU to work for every game except Hogwarts Legacy? (More details in post body)

So, I have this new laptop I got which has an NVIDIA RTX 4090M GPU, and also an integrated Intel GPU. Obviously, I only want to use the Intel GPU for less intensive apps, and to use the NVIDIA GPU for games or other intensive applications, such as AI.

Through trial, error, and lucky searches on the internet, I figured out some things that do and don't work.

  • Plugging in the laptop makes the NVIDIA GPU run much faster
  • The default Fedora NVIDIA drivers work fine, I don't need to install any alternatives
  • To make a normal app use the GPU, all I have to do is right click the icon and click 'Launch with discrete GPU' (on GNOME), or to make it open with discrete GPU by default (and launching with the integrated GPU would be an option in the context menu), I have to copy the desktop file to ~/.local/share/applications, and edit the .desktop file so it contains the line PrefersNonDefaultGPU=true
  • For Steam apps, the previous method doesn't work (for some reason - maybe it uses a custom launch process?), but after trying many different ways, I was able to get most Steam apps to use the correct GPU (GPU 0) by adding the custom launch option PROTON_USE_WINED3D=0 %command%
  • For some reason, this doesn't work for Hogwarts Legacy. It, of all games, really wants to use the Intel graphics - even with the custom launch command, PrefersNonDefaultGPU=true, and in game setting the preferred GPU to my NVIDIA one - yes, it is listed and recognised in game - I can tell both from the Resources app and the abysmal performance that my NVIDIA GPU is not being used and my Intel GPU is
  • Other apps like Portal RTX, The Witcher 3, ComfyUI (running through Krita AI Diffusion), Blender, and Civilisation 6 are running great with the NVIDIA GPU
  • I do not have prime-run installed and do not need it

My laptop model is MEDION Beast X40.

I'm honestly at my wits end.

Any suggestions?

Laggy performance on fedora linux

Hello all. I've recently installed Fedora 42 on my laptop, it's a microsoft surface laptop studio so it's running with the custom surface kernel. The feature matrix on their github page says that everything should be supported for my laptop and that's pretty much been my experience so far but I've been having issues when testing out games.

The laptop has a 3050TI and is more than capable of running most of the games that I usually play on windows, and I've almost gotten it working on Fedora. They'll launch and run just fine, everything even looks pretty decent graphically, but it just has really bad stuttery input lag, even in more lightweight games that I've tested such as balatro and stardew valley.

I'm not sure what would be causing this, as far as I'm aware I'm running the right gpu driver, I've double checked that they're using the dedicated gpu rather than the integrated one with nvidia-smi, but honestly that's about the extent of my knowledge. Does anyone have any thoughts / suggestions? It would be much appreciated.

This kind of problem is going to require some deep debugging of the surface kernel drivers. This isn't going to be a simple or quick fix. Somebody is going to need to do some extensive debugging and analysis to chase down an issue like this. A solution to this problem could take a few hours, or it could take a few months of meticulous trial and error to narrow down the problem space and gather enough data to enable somebody to zero in on the problem.

If you want to dive into tracking down the problem yourself, I suggest starting with the kernel's own docs on the driver architecture and debugging tools, etc.

Two things:
- What input device(s) are you using? Are you using the built-in laptop keyboard, or a gamepad of sorts. (By Balatro, I'd assume it might even be happening with mouse.)
- Are you running these games on a platform like Steam, or are you running another way? (I'm assuming the answer is yes to Steam, by Balatro and Stardew.)

For Steam, try messing around with Steam input settings and see what happens.

No. That would be doing things. He doesn't do things. Except one time he drove two hours to visit our friends for the weekend. Except he was actually just crashing at their place so he could see Jordan Peterson live. He didn't tell them that until he was there. He's been super cagey about his politics. I got hints over the years but I figured he was starting to mellow out after the pandemic settled. Turns out he just learned not to talk politics around his friends. In January I finally confronted him about his beliefs on specific issues, hoping that I was over-extrapolating and actually he just had a few mixed views. Nope, full on fascist. We used to talk on the phone every couple of weeks. I've completely cut contact since. Sorry for venting.

Until 2021 when I got my new PC, I still had a bluray/cd/dvd burner, although I don't recall ever using it for burning anything. I guess that era is finally getting laid to rest.
Also, way back when it was a requirement to burn CD's and DVD's in order to install operating systems like linux, I don't ever recall using a CD-RW disc. I guess I thought of them a bit like potions in skyrim where by the end of the game I end up with hundreds of them and then never using them when I really needed to.

Because he hasn't actually slashed anything yet. It's all guesswork based on some promised spending on the military and some tax cuts. But he can always do deficit spending and it would actually make sense if the mil spending goes domestic instead of in the US MIC.

But we should be very suspicious still. I'm not saying oh let's coddle him because he hasn't harmed us. Critique the fucker and be surprised if he actually delivers.

Not quite, but there has been some con action so far. Some diff between standard con are:
- Does not deny climate change
- Does not want to harm LGBTQ pop
- Has read Marx and agrees with some of his analysis
- Does not believe the free market is the best solution for every problem

My bet is that he's gonna go for deficit spending when shit hits the fan because unlike the standard con he understands public debt isn't like family debt and that austerity in bad times is a bad idea. We'll see in the fall.

Federated Social Media with Topic-Based Following and Blocking?
I'm looking for a federated social media platform that allows for easy topic-based following and blocking, similar to how you can follow or block hashtags on Twitter. On Lemmy, you can follow communities, but there are so many that it becomes overwhelming. I want a platform where I can see or block everything related to a specific tag, and also view only the most popular posts about that topic, similar to how Lemmy communities work. Mastodon, for example, only shows the latest posts, which isn't ideal for trending content. I don't want a chat-like experience; I want to quickly see what's trending about a topic or what's trending in general, while being able to block a few specific topics. Ideally, I wouldn't have to spend hours curating a list of communities or followed users. Does anyone know of a platform that fits these criteria?

On Lemmy, you might find it overwhelming by looking at the all communities feed and then blocking those you don't like. Instead subscribe to the ones you want and then just view the subscribe feed.

Personally, I use all to find more content and block communities I don't want. I then just jumpnjnto subscribed occasionally of there is too much junk.

It's a shame that there aren't finer controls, like to ramp up and down communities rather than just block or subscribe. Some communities, I wouldn't mind seeing their popular posts but I don't want to say the hordes of junk posts. Only option is to block.

Spain, Ireland and China to join more than 20 states to declare ‘concrete measures’ against Israel
More than 20 countries are convening in Bogota next week to declare “concrete measures against Israel’s violations of international law”, diplomats told Middle East Eye.

The “emergency summit” is due to be held on 15-16 July, co-hosted by the governments of Colombia and South Africa as co-chairs of The Hague Group, to coordinate diplomatic and legal action to counter what they describe as “a climate of impunity” enabled by Israel and its powerful allies.

The founding members of the group included Bolivia, Colombia, Cuba, Honduras, Malaysia, Namibia, Senegal and South Africa.

States due to take part in the summit include Algeria, Bangladesh, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, China, Cuba, Djibouti, Honduras, Indonesia, Ireland, Lebanon, Malaysia, Namibia, Nicaragua, Oman, Portugal, Spain, Qatar, Turkey, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Uruguay, and Palestine.

US warns ICC member states to drop proceedings against Israel
The warning was direct, blunt and left no room for doubt. "We expect all ICC actions against the United States and our ally Israel – that is, all investigations and all arrest warrants – to be terminated," said Reed Rubinstein, legal adviser at the US State Department, before delegates of the 125 member states of the International Criminal Court (ICC) on Tuesday, July 8, at a meeting at United Nations headquarters in New York from July 7 to 9.

If the ICC arrest warrants for crimes against humanity and war crimes issued against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant on November 21, 2024, as well as ongoing investigations into crimes committed in the Gaza Strip and the settlement of Palestinian territory, are not dropped, "all options remain on the table," he declared.

I think a lot of peope understandably misunderstand this post because it doesn't really explain the situation. After reading OP's comments I gather that OP put a new server online (not on AWS) and was immediately port scanned by a host that is on AWS. Since OP did not consent to being port scanned, they filled out an abuse complaint with AWS, the hoster the scan came from, out of principle, knowing that it probably won't do much. Which is totally fine if that is how you want to spend your time.

I think what most commenters thought is that OP was hosting with AWS and complained to them that someone else scanned their server. This does not seem to be the case.

Absolutely not — the issue here is OP knowingly submitting false abuse reports.

Port scans of public hosts are not considered abuse per the CFAA or Amazon’s AUP without other accompanying signs of malicious intent.

aws.amazon.com/aup/

Amazon may take action against egregious mass-scanning offenders per the “…to violate the security, integrity, or availability of any user, network…” verbiage of the AUP, especially if they’re fingerprinting services or engaging in more sophisticated recon, but OP’s complaints are nowhere near meeting that threshold.

Need Advice - Linux gaming - Mint

Hi. I've been using Linux for decades on my work machines, but most of my knowledge is pretty rusty. However for gaming I've always used a Windows machine. I'm thinking of getting rid of microsoft entirely, since I've been hearing such good things about steam & proton lately.

I was going to just install Mint on my gaming computer, but since there are a ton of experts here, I figured I should check in to see if there is any reason not to use Mint for this? And if there is any other considerations or setup I should be aware of to keep my games running well?

just_another_person

Mint is fine, as the others have said, and there isn't going to be a WILD performance difference between any distros (+/- 5%, you can check Phoronix for benchmarks), so just pick whatever feels okay for you.

To expand on the general difference between distros: if you want something that is running the most up-to-date kernel versions and Mesa drivers, you'll want something that does rolling releases like Fedora, CachyOS (Arch-based), or Tumbleweed.

If you want something that is more generally stable and unchanged over time, and doesn't upgrade the kernel or drivers, stick with Mint LTSbor Ubuntu LTS.

Social media can support or undermine democracy — it comes down to how it’s designed
It is a design choice to offer a news feed that combines verified news sources with conspiracy blogs — interspersed with photos of a family picnic — with no distinction between these very different types of information. It is a design choice to use algorithms that find the most emotional or outrageous content to show users, hoping it keeps them online. And it is a design choice to send bright red notifications, keeping people in a state of expectation for the next photo or juicy piece of gossip.

Platform design is a silent pilot steering human behavior.

Home owners/capitalists do appreciate scarcity. More/denser housing units is more city property taxes, more retail availability and income taxes/revenue, and more jobs, also more revenue. All of that supports more housing demand and higher property prices too. If you were the only one left in Toronto, I guess you wouldn't need/have any services. But property value would go down from $200/sq foot rental value to $1.

Immigration caps are contributing to lower asking rents in Canada, CMHC says

The article has a loooooong list of rent decreases in major metros across the country. Generally, we're seeing decreases that seem to erase the increase from the same period in 2024.

Over the past year, the average asking monthly rent fell between 2 per cent and 8 per cent in condos and rental-only apartments – also known as purpose-built rentals – said the report released Tuesday by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp (CMHC).

The drop was due to a surge in new condos and apartment buildings hitting the market along with limits on temporary foreign residents such as students and new permanent residents.


...

“It is quite evident on the demand side that there have been signs of weakening,” said Tania Bourassa-Ochoa, CMHC’s deputy chief economist, adding that there were stronger rental declines in regions with slower population growth.

Immigration is a policy. Noting the effect of the policy is not racist.

The feds/provinces failed to factor population changes into policy, meaning we don't have enough housing, medical professionals, teachers, classrooms, etc.

The ideal scenario is that we build enough houses (possibly using the immigration system to invite more construction workers to become citizens of our country), train enough healthcare professionals (possibly by inviting existing professionals in, or training during foreign students who stay), and ensure workers that we invite into the country receive the same benefits Canadians do.

Liberals stopped building houses, as they had for decades. That is what happened. Billy fell off his bicycle. Sarah bought an ice cream cone. Planes flew overhead, and Liberals stopped building residential units.

Conservatives also built no housing, but they didn't "stop"- just kept serving the rich.

Immigration increases economic activity far beyond its costs.

So racists have to lie about its economic effect, because using racism is very exposing.

[theoretical] What would the real impacts of FOSS software becoming more prevalent in all segments of society?

Thumbing through the feed, the news on how this or that organization letting go of commercial options for day to day operations are mounting.

This led me to wonder what would be the impact if FOSS, be it on the OS front, productivity front or whatever, was to become truly a relevant option.

I'm painfully aware of the difficulties I've faced trying to take a few online courses to be faced with borderline desdain for not using Windows/Office/Etc and opting for FOSS solutions.

Paying/supporting a FOSS solution does not offend me. I'm happier when giving money directly to a developer or project than to an opaque company. But I'm just one.

But what could happen if the ones became millions, actively contributing with a few coins per year to projects we use daily?

What could/would happen in the short term (under a year), medium-long (one to three years) and the long term (over ten years)?

The scalability problem with FOSS is monetary and motivation.

The successful products need longterm financial security in order to plan and support their peoduct(s) - so, do we start seeing more subscriptions as corp. sponsorship fades away?

And, just like XKCD 2347, FOSS needs to step up and support the components they rely on

That's going to need some more maturity from the developers too: it's a great feeling doing something new and interesting, but - like having a pet - you can't just abandon something when you're bored of it, or too busy, without rehoming your project(s)...

That's where I see the industry needs to improve before they're really ready for the big time.

Mr. Robertson, tell Toronto a deal is a deal

The housing crisis is screwing generations of Canadians. Toronto City council is enabling it.

The feds need to call out Toronto's bad faith negotiations and withdraw the promised funds.

(The feds also need to change tax laws to definancialize housing, enforce money laundering laws, build affordable housing, etc - but I digress)

In 2023, Toronto city council voted in support of an agreement signed with Ottawa, pledging a variety of policy changes that included allowing buildings with six housing units on a single lot anywhere in the city. Federal money allocated from the Housing Accelerator Fund started to flow in return and then, during a debate last month, a lot of councillors got cold feet.

Instead of voting to allow the sixplexes they had pledged to permit everywhere, council watered down the proposal. In fact, they took a fire hose to it. These buildings will be allowed in only nine wards, which together make up less than one-quarter of the city’s area. Councillors for the other 16 wards can opt in later, as if they are mayors of their own area.

...the way Switch carts are made there is no difference at all between a cart used on a console and the same cart resold for a different console.


IIRC every cartridge has its own cryptographic key and can be uniquely identified. When it became possible to dump game cards and load them on a flash card, there were reports, that it is possible, that this might lead to a detection - as the flashcards need to replicate this key. Now, Nintendo might have no way to tell if you lend the game to someone, of the other switch that uses it bought the game from you, etc. BUT if it is pirated, it's possible to detect, when the original and the copy are played at the same time, as the cartridge cannot be physically in two switches simultaneously. There were never any reports, that someone really got banned because of this, though...

Yes. Set automatic package updates, Install firefox with ublock and put it on the taskbar, and bookmark Facebook and Youtube for her. It is the same thing as under Windows.

I would argue that for the most "tech illiterate" users the Linux experience can be made even easier than the windows experience, because you have to set up everything for them anyways.

Yeah, the centralization of public Internet infrastructure around Cloud flare has been concerning, not only as a single point of failure but also in terms of consolidation of trust.

As a prior student workout a public IP deep behind several NATs, with little funds for self hosting hobbies, these kinds of tunnel services were a handy gateway in getting started.

Although, I hope ISP adoption of IPv6 or cheaper bandwidth quotas for VPS providers help compete on this front for self hosting networking.

@ruffsl I have no bandwidth quota on my vps's, only memory and disk. See eskimo.com/services/virtual-pr… further our shared hosting is extremely robust, this friendica site runs on it, friendica.eskimo.com/ and runs around 7-16 hits/second (between slow and peak times) and response time is generally between 240-500ms which is better than most major providers. It is doable, for me the big issue is you are proxying https, is that data getting un-encrypted / re-encrypted in the chain? If so do you really want them looking at all of your traffic?

Which hardware for stable sleep?

I'm contemplating to replace 1-2 aging desktops in our home by "gaming" laptops.

What really bugs me with the Linux laptops I currently have is that sleep is unstable or inefficient. On one device it sometimes just won't wake up. On both the battery is drained fully within few days. I have a MacBook at work and know I'll probably not hit the same level of stability and efficiency in sleep, but I'm wondering whether hardware choice can play a role in improving the experience, especially seeing how I might make this my primary device moving forward.

I often grab the Linux laptop and end up going for the work MacBook or my ipad because the battery is dead and I only wanted to check something real quick - it's okay with an old leftover device but it sort of irritates me.

Thanks for your input! What's the issue with Asus? Their Rog series has some really nice hardware it seems and might be something I can actually walk into a store and try in person.

What about Lenovo? As an owner of two ThinkPads and with friends happy about their Legion devices that's the one other manufacturer I have on my radar regarding "might be available in a store in my country".

The main issue is that a lot of these bigger manufacturers have 3 tiers of hardware they kick out:

1) consumer-grade/junk
2) professional/developer/niche
3) enterprise hardened

If you find a model of something you're looking to buy for sale at big box stores, it's going to be total junk: windows-centric hardware with low reliability, but really cheap to produce. Stay away from those, as their Linux compatibility is going to be horrendous UNLESS you've heard otherwise specifically about a particular model.

Lenovo has done something interesting in the last few years and blurred the lines between #1 and #2, so now it's a crapshoot. ASUS ruined their #2 tier stuff years ago by including gimmicky stuff like touch bars, and secondary displays without ANY support except for Windows.

For Linux compatibility, you need to make sure your components either already have driver support, or is made by a company who directly releases or contributes Linux drivers. AMD and Intel are top of that list, with Nvidia kinda/sorta doing the bare minimum for consumer-grade components, but full support for enterprise-grade stuff.

If you're not sure all the components in the machine you're buying already have Linux support, it's going to be a crapshoot. ASUS specifically makes crappy moves by including things that notoriously DON'T have native Linux support like: Broadcom chipsets, or random audio codecs and speakers that are essentially windows-only.

You can look around and see people's experiences with specific models of ROG, but even those are kind of iffy because of the above. Depending on what you want to use it for, you may be able to work with certain things not working, but if you're talking laptops and Linux, I'd steer clear of anything with Nvidia in it for the battery life alone.

All this effort instead of constructing traffic calming road features. Oh wait, that doesn’t generate revenue…


Speed cameras actually generate very little revenue compared to the financial cost of car crashes: Ambulances, drugs, police, surgeons. If speeding fines were to truly reflect the social cost of car crashes, they would be significantly higher.

Also, the people who oppose speed cameras will absolutely FREAK OUT if you propose to reduce lanes. Look at what just happened to Toronto bike lanes.
