I called it earlier.

They're just dangling tariffs as a sword of damacles to hurt Canadian companies without increasing prices.

We need to treat this the same as tariffs.

I wonder if Canadian factories/mills/mines are seeing panic buying by their American customers.

I’ve panic bought computer hardware.

If things get worse I want as little dependency on US clouds as possible.

Unfortunately that’s not something we make here.

Same here, just in case, was getting time for an upgrade so did the non GPU stuff. 10700k to 9800x3d, was very worth it for gaming. Now hopefully will be good besides the GPU until the next administration. If there is one of course, he'll push for a other term by the end through some shady manner.

I just came across this article and thought you might be interested, though maybe it's all old hat to you.

Thanks!

That's a pretty comprehensive list.

For me getting my domain name out of US corps and my email off US servers is my biggest protection.

I use fast mail who are Australian but host servers in the US. Not sure how I want to migrate. I don't want to self host that.

I'm looking at setting up NextCloud when my new server is up.

My only US socialedia is LinkedIn, which is basically my resume hosted and is pretty important to me. I don't have a replacement yet except to build public profiles on Canadian masto and my blog.

Edit: I also have a backup phone I plan to install graphene on. Server will be Linux (need to pick a distro still -- too newb for arch right now).
