At least here we do have high requirements for burning stuff so you do have proper filters etc.

At the end of the day you probably have concentrated toxins after the burning but handling this shit is probably easier and cheaper than undoing a landfill in 30 years.

True; So how does that make it any better?

We are not landfilling that stuff we are burning it.

And it doesn't matter thats not the issue. The issue is, that plastic is used every single day and its not reused/recycled it gets burned. This not sustainable at all.

the 'big overreaction' comes from the fact, that the weather is changing due to co2 emissions and we are far far away from any sustainable setup while already seeing the impact it has.

Its the 3th year of a draught in germany. Where i never encountered a drought. It is a green country and the trees around me have damages from the drought. When they are dying of, a tree which was growing for 30-40 years will be gone.

The co2 reduction of corona was around 8% and we would need to have 7% every year to combat climate change. 8% was doable with a lot of inconvienience. It doesn't give me a lot of hope when we are not able to recycle fucking plastic.

I grew up in a normal german household on the 'countryside'.

I alwasy recycled. Never thought about it much and my family is not 'alternative or whatever'.

3 Years ago i see a documentation telling me, that dark plastic can't be recycled and gets burned. Thin plastic can't be recycled and will be burned.

We have a system called 'green point' which basically means that the producer has to pay a little bit of money for the packaging they produced so that other company in germany takes it, its called the yellow bin.

So you have your black bin for garbage and you have a yellow bin for the green point which are 99% plastic (pringles has that sign on it as well). I thought, they would have a high recycling rate. Nope 40% of that already recyclematerial is recycled. 60% is just burned.

I could have thrown this shit away uncleaned, unseperated in my normal garbage bin for years and you know what? Everyone around me is doing exactly that.

Don't get me wrong, i will not become a pig, i will still put my plastic into that and sort and clean and recycle but wtf...

How is it a personal attack?

Aren't comments here to be able to show/tell my own opinion on a article/blog/whatever?

I'm really not sure what exactly is an attack.

Stating an opinion and being open for discussions.

Jepp i actually assumed that at one point and i was right :D

You know, i do get this but we are in IT not in Marketing.

My most used skill is to make sure i'm pedantic aka 'so we need to calculate this from that after this? and we need accuracy of 0.32? And what should that button do exactly?'

It is not SSL its TLS and i don't expect everyone to get it but its still wrong.

The weirdes thing in IT is, that i don't know any other word which is so missused then SSL.

Its TLS and not SSL. Its TLS for a long time now...

And yes be aware that through this, it works fine but you are also exposing your internal infrastructure details through dns.

I'm not seeing a big issue, just be aware of it.

I'm not sure if this is a real issue; Normally (on gke for example) you can't use 100% cpu because of this.

If they saw the issue, then either they have not configured their nodes right, missconfigured them or perhaps run something very old?

I'm quite curious to see a proper test bench

Is this really right?

"The danger of not setting a CPU limit is that containers running in the node could exhaust all CPU available."

My assumptions have been: 1. cpu request tells you how much cpu a pod gets MINIMUM always, independently of how much other pods use it or not 2. on GKE you can't request 100% cpu due to google reserving cpu for the node 3. if you have hard limits, your cluster utilisation will be bad -> we do remove cpu limits due to this.

No, thats not what i said!

I tolerate religious people. I do believe that those religions put a deep wedge in our society but that has nothing to do what i meant.

I personally will not work/help an organisation which is build around a religion. I'm not a Christ, so why would i go to the Caritas?

My main problem is, with current existing big systems like churches, they put a lot of rules out. Don't be homosexual, they discriminate against females etc.

Now they do have and had a huge number of followeres. We need something similiar and with we i mean people who care about the environment and think its crucial for us to change. And that is more inclusive as the basic rule is not 'do not be religious' its just not based on it.

We do have science in a way, or at least i have as a believe system but 'we' dont have a lobby. We are not organized.

I have not said its a magic new idea.

Nonetheless nothing like it exists. Your list is business based and both 'clubs' have only over a million people.

I would prefer another name than just religion or so but this is a structure we know.

I don't wanna look through a catalog of different organizations doing different things.

I wanna build and do things together with similar minded people.
