Linux Stuff (mostly for improving computers)

To schedule a computer to sleep in 60 minutes, you need to install the ‘at’ command (which is foss), with just ‘sudo apt install at’. Then run this command:

Travel - the length of time you must own something for it to be considered personal property

The length of time you must own something for it to be considered personal property and not subject to import duty varies by country, but a common rule of thumb is at least 6 to 12 months of prior ownership before import.

Key factors most customs authorities consider:

Ownership duration – Usually at least 6 months prior to import.

Usage – The item must have been used by you (not new or unused).

Intention – It must be for personal use, not for resale.

Residency change – If you're relocating, many countries offer duty-free import for household goods under "personal effects" if owned and used for 6–12 months before moving.

Temporary import – If you're just visiting (not moving), some countries allow temporary import of personal items duty-free, assuming you'll take them back when you leave.

Examples:

U.S.: No duty on personal effects used abroad for 1+ year. For moves, household goods used for 1 year may be duty-free.

UK: To claim Transfer of Residence (ToR) relief, goods must have been owned and used for at least 6 months.

EU countries: Often require 6+ months of ownership and use before import to qualify for relief from duty/VAT.

Canada, You can bring personal belongings duty- and tax-free if:

You owned and used the goods before arriving.

You have owned, used, and possessed the goods for at least 6 months before your arrival (this is key).

The goods are for personal use only, not resale.

You are settling in Canada as a new resident, former resident returning, or temporary resident (like a student or worker).

Common items that qualify:

Furniture, electronics, clothes

Tools of your trade

Vehicles (with separate requirements – more below)
