I thought Boys from County Hell had a good opening scene! Short and straight to the point. Probably the most memorable of the recent flicks I've watched on Shudder.

US foreign policy is completely incoherent right now. The answers don't really matter. They're just making these individual policy decisions based on trying to bully their allies/enemies to test the water as to how far they can impose their will on the rest of the world and be unpredictable.
Why does the US need critical minerals from Ukraine if there's no global heating and therefore we wouldn't need Elon Musk's EVs? Their positions make sense (to them) individually, but don't make any sense when you put them together. But when your electorate has the memory of a squirrel and is glued to social media propaganda feeds, you don't need coherent policy to stay in power.
ycombinator is shit lol
Some kind of crowd-sourced tagging would be a cool anti-troll technique. A lot of less experienced websurfers struggle to spot "inauthentic behaviour" (bots, astroturfing, etc) so it could be beneficial. Reddit has a huge problem with sleeper accounts though, where they build up reputation with low-effort comments over years, then activate when a campaign needs them. The social media marketers seem to sometimes use the same techniques as the state-sponsored troll farms.
I'm going to test out Lunanode, thanks for the recommendation. I'm currently playing around with Xenyth Cloud too and so far so good. I'm keeping a spreadsheet of the sysbench scores of all the Canadian VPSes I've tried and I'll try to post it once I have a decent set of data to share.
Does anyone know of any other Canadian VPS providers? (from companies based in Canada)
The pricing seems super reasonable. It looks like it supports a calendar too. Anyone know if their webmail client is decent?
You need that SRE team you said you don't have. :)
this is the saddest, stupidest, low effort troll account - see comment history
I'm sold on the sales pitch for it, but deflect.ca resolves to a Hetzner box in their Washington DC datacenter. I have a 112 ms ping to it from Toronto.
How do you sell a CDN when your own website is hosted out of the country at a PoP that's that far away?
If we can somehow entice Chinese car companies manufacture here
I think that's part of the point of auto tariffs.
I totally understand. It sucks that there's not really any options in between these two extremes.
I just watched this last week and thought it was pretty decent! I mentioned in the other thread I thought the opening was memorable, short, and effective. The movie had a good balance of humour and horror bits. The acting wasn't great but good enough, and while the delivery on the comedy fell flat a couple times, it didn't detract from my overall enjoyment. I'd watch another movie by this director. Overall, it was a decent low-budget flick.
Any other good horror comedy recommendations similar to this?
