Yes, it's called CBAM and it's the most beautiful tax I've ever seen:

Genuinely great blog post!

This is perfect for !linuxmemes@lemmy.world though: "nah I don't want to switch to Linux, it's hard. I'll just compile QEMU with some patches to run VMs on Windows"

A permanent exception may actually be OK: China is much further along in the energy transition and the CCP are not doing that out of the kindness of their genocidal hearts: economic forces make electrification inevitable, as we can already see with EVs.

Also, the European market is big enough to have global impact, even if our rules aren't matched by other world powers eventually.

That was my first response too, but on second thought, this may be a good balance between keeping European industry strong and green incentives:

• EVERY COMPANY pays carbon tax over what they sell in Europe: the EU made sure that carbon tax is paid over imports too so it is not worth it to companies who want to sell in EU to move production out of Europe
• By not taxing exports, European heavy industry gets to compete fairly outside Europe too: American companies don't pay European carbon tax on what they sell in the US. If we would tax European heavy industry exports, they would be at a severe disadvantage.

European heavy industry isn't doing great overall. This is partly their own fault: lobbying has focused on keeping grey tech alive instead of enabling a green transition, but also largely because of high wages and regulation in Europe.

We need to push European heavy industry through the energy transition, not into bankruptcy. I'd rather do the energy transition a little slower than be completely dependent on American and Chinese companies for steel, aluminium, etc.

And I've been arrested at many climate protests, so don't tell me I don't care enough about the climate!

It's not something to be proud of, that's obvious.

But Rutte was not made secretary-general because of his personal pride. I wasn't happy to have him as prime minister, at all, for all those years, but he is very good at one thing: getting everyone in the room to agree and making everyone in the room feel heard.

This is how you get Trump to be enthusiastic about your project. He is using Trump's ego to get him om board with NATO. This is top-tier manipulation, and it's working!

Rutte is the perfect man for this job, and this is exactly why. No pride, no ego, just doing whatever it takes to keep the unity in NATO and to ensure we are strong enough to deter Russia.

The problem with non-PLP drives is that Rook-Ceph will insist that its writes get done in a way that is safe wrt power loss.

For regular consumer drives, that means it has to wait for the cache to be flushed, which takes aaaages (milliseconds!!) and that can cause all kinds of issues. PLP drives have a cache that is safe in the event of power loss, and thus Rook-Ceph is happy to write to cache and consider the operation done.

Again, 1Gb network is not a big deal, not using PLP drives could cause issues.

If you don't need volsync and don't need ReadWriteMany, just use Longhorn with its builtin backup system and call it a day.

I tried Longhorn, and ended up concluding that it would not work reliably with Volsync. Volsync (for automatic volume restore on cluster rebuild) is a must for me.

I plan on installing Rook-Ceph. I'm also on 1Gb/s network, so it won't be fast, but many fellow K8s home opsers are confident it will work.

Rook-ceph does need SSDs with Power Loss Protection (PLP), or it will get extremelly slow (latency). Bandwidth is not as much of an issue. Find some used Samsung PM or SM models, they aren't expensive.

Longhorn isn't fussy about consumer SSDs and has its own built-in backup system. It's not good at ReadWriteMany volumes, but it sounds like you won't need ReadWriteMany. I suggest you don't bother with Rook-Ceph yet, as it's very complex.

Also, join the Home Operations community if you have a Discord account, it's full of k8s homelabbers.

Do I need to spell it out for you how to get a load in a vegan way or can you figure it out?
