This is just total nonsense, like most of the garbage that you post here. Talk to Americans - they're embarrassed by how their government is treating Canada. We're close allies and our biggest trading partners. There is no animosity between our peoples and the only ones who say there is are our enemies trying to seed division.

Your comment fits into your low effort Russian astroturing campaign where everybody in the west is bad and hates each other and Russia is good and should be allowed to invade anyone they want. Fuck off.
I feel like Loblaws and the other stores they run always play stupid games with prices. They didn't really show that this was anything different than say, the same month a year ago. The article and methodology just feels kinda shoddy and empty. "We did a shit analysis and came up with weird results, now here's some experts saying random things."
I wish I could give a shit about the Green party but after like a decade of infighting, I couldn't care less. We live in a time of global environmental emergencies and they've completely failed to capitalize on that.
I was talking to a friend and we both mentioned how we saw Elizabeth May on TV talking beside someone and we weren't sure whether it was her or the other guy who was the leader.
Are they still fiscal conservatives? What stupid combination of policies.
I sorta get what you're asking for, but I think you're going to get a response like, "Read a book". There's just not much to be gained by discussing issues like this on the internet, lol. edit: I think your example is maybe confusing too... not sure if you're looking for political debates, or just educational discussions, or what. Maybe you could clarify and it'd help get some more constructive answers!
Totally fair. One thing that's super clear in this country is that the tax laws favour the rich. IMHO even RRSPs are of greater benefit to people who don't pay rent or have paid off their mortgages.
As someone who works in tech, I feel like the sales pitch for VPNs is snakeoil for the average person. All you're doing is trading out your own ISP spying on you for another ISP who can spy on you. I know I have rights if my ISP spies on me in my own country, but if my traffic is all egressing via a foreign country, I may have zero privacy rights in that country.
If you need to hide your torrenting activity, just use a seedbox. If you need to hide from the NSA, none of this is going to help you. And TLS basically does the rest.
Same with DNS-over-HTTPS - the DNS server is where they're going to be spying on you!
Yeah, this might be the way to go. OpenWRT supports hardware NAT with many of these ARM-based routers like many of the MediaTek-based ones, which gives them super high throughput at very low CPU usage. The efficiency blows x86 out of the water. The ability to migrate your OpenWRT config to new hardware (real or virtual) in the future means you kinda get the best of both worlds....
Do not use an SSD for cold storage - it will fail. SSDs need to be plugged in every once to refresh the charge in their NAND, otherwise they'll lose the data.
This is not a theoretical thing - I've had a good Samsung 850 Pro drive fail while being off for 2 years.
Do a speed test and run htop... you'll see CPU usage only on one core spiking. Not a big deal if your CPU can handle it, but the AMD GX-412TC in the APU2 I was using is too slow.
Even if the virtualized router is down, I'll still have access to the physical server over the network until the DHCP lease expires. The switch does the work of delivering my packets on the LAN, not the router.
Thanks for the tip about the pfSense limit. After running pfSense for like 8 years, my opinion is that is flush with features but overall, it's trash. Nobody, not even Netgate, understands how to configure limiters, queues, and QoS properly. The official documentation and all the guides on the internet are all contradictory and wrong. I did loads of testing and it worked somewhat, but never as well as it should have on paper (ie. I got ping spikes if I ran a bandwidth test simultaneously, which shouldn't happen.) I don't necessarily think OpenWRT is any better, but I know the Linux kernel has multithreaded PPPOE and I expect some modern basics like SQM to work properly in it.
The other thing to keep in mind is to pass through physical nics. Using just the vnics will potentially lead to security risks. That’s the reason I went back to physical fws.
I could throw an extra NIC in the server and pass it through, but what are the security risks of using the virtualized NICs? I'm just using virtio to share a dedicated bridge adapter with the router VM.
If you just use 2 nodes, you will need a q-device to make quorum if you have one of the nodes down
I could just use VRRP / keepalived instead, no?
I should try Proxmox, thanks for the suggestion. I set up ZFS recently on my NAS and I regret not learning it earlier. I can see how the snapshotting would make managing VMs easier!
That is pretty sweet. I have a second server I could use for an HA configuration of the router VM. I've been meaning to play around with live migrations (KVM) so this could be a cool use case for testing.
I appreciate the advice. I have like 3 spare routers I can swap in if the server fails, plus I have internet on my phone lol. It's a home environment, not mission critical. I'm glad you mentioned this though, as it made me realize I should have one of these routers configured and ready-to-go as a backup.
My logic is partly that I think a VM on an x86 server could potentially be more reliable than some random SBC like a Banana Pi because it'll be running a mainline kernel with common peripherals, plus I can have RAID and ECC, etc (better hardware). I just don't fully buy the "separation of concerns" argument because you can always use that against VMs, and the argument for VMs is cost effectiveness via better utilization of hardware. At home, it can also mean spending money on better hardware instead of redundant hardware (why do I need another Linux box?).
There are also risks involved in running your firewall on the same host as all your other VM’s
I don't follow. It's isolated via a dedicated bridge adapter on the host, which is not shared with other VMs. Further, WAN traffic is also isolated by a VLAN, which only the router VM is configured for.
Half the US doesn't even use the internet outside of Facebook, which is run by one of these assholes. You absolutely do not have excellent communication technologies. The tools you have extremely vulnerable to manipulation. We've only seen a taste of the horrific possibilities with Facebook controlling communication and the entire information space.
