What can we (ordinary users) do to help? I'm in Europe, would it be better if I used the SDFeu server as my home instance?

Jag har kommit in i semesterlunket men är ändå lite sliten. Oroar mig lite över saker generellt. Hemfriden och självtiden. Läste en ytterst deprimerande dikt som hette "Orissa", men den var fin på ett sätt. Blev stressad av en amerikan som pratade och skrattade för högt på ett café. På det hela taget kunde det varit värre.
I was reading an old TUGboat article about "sensible defaults" where the author set `\tolerance` to 250 and no `\emergencystretch` or `\hfuzz`. Now, my columns usually end up being around 55-65 characters wide, which isn't that wide, but in any longer text I'm lucky if I can stay under badness 1000 in underfull `\hbox`s. Some of those can be hyphenated or otherwise manipulated away, but 250 is hard to reach. Is this just me? I'm curious where you usually land with \tolerance and badness? (For comparison maybe also mention the width of your paragraphs?)

It's working now. I guess it was just a matter of time and syncing.

The usual answer for Sweden is "The Emigrants" (Utvandrarna) by Vilhelm Moberg. However, and I don't think this is obvious to foreign readers, the author John Ajvide Lindqvist really writes about Sweden. He's most famous for the book "Let the right one in" about a vampire kid, but the story is actually about growing up as a young boy in Sweden. The horror aspect is part of the genre, but all his books manage to mix a description of swedish society with a supernatural horror element.
