You might not see the benefit directly, but the idea is that we must do this for future generations. If everybody keeps looking at the others, nothing happens. The ones that can lead must lead.
I get frustration that people feel in some countries like Netherlands where emissions per capita is 6.56t CO2, while others that also can do something like US, do not (14.3t CO2 per capita).

This is extremely frustrating considering also how much wealth there is in the US. Luckily on state level there are initiatives and some green energy is more cost efficient than ff. Still, not a great situation.
I however think it should be a personal responsibility. Not something forced upon you or being pushed to the government to solve. People have more personal responsibility. Lots of them aren’t bothered anymore because they think the government will fix it.
For example, I don’t have a car and choose to live in walking distance of my work. When I go somewhere I take the bike or train.
I'd go the other way - it should be a global carbon tax of so much per ton. Otherwise you get the present combo of "EU - But at what cost?" and "World emissions hit record high", ie. suffering but with no results.
Tax still gives personal freedom - just if you want to burn a lot of oil you pay more.
The fact you walk / ride is admirable.
We’ve been oversold on personal responsibility.
Milk used to come in glass bottles, buying milk now comes in plastic, very little you can do without a bunch of lobby and active work. We’re inside systems that are society wide, the ways the systems we’re all inside of run very much matters.
Sorry to have been so harsh; your two points didn’t line up in my head and I assume a bot. Please accept my apology, these are strange times.
We must suffer, our kids and their kids, alive today, must suffer so unborn future generations may (possibly?) benefit from unpredictable climate benefits?
I’m not buying it, but it’s being forced down my wallet anyway.
What’s the reason we have to have expensive energy and import massive numbers of unskilled migrants?
A great alternative is Traefik. We have been using v1 and v2 for several years now in a setup that uses the docker labels for configuration of services.
When I had first heard of Caddy, I was experimenting with Traefik to replace an nginx setup I had for a long time.
Traefik had good potential and momentum at the time. And then Caddy started to gain some momentum too. After that there was a brief moment Caddy made the mistake of taking an ad and including it in the `Server` response header and making it be an opt-out feature. Once that was walked back and the dust has settled, Caddy kept gaining more and more momentum and exposure.
Traefik had a web panel that I thought was cool back then but it tried to be too tightly coupled with containers and insisted on making service discovery be an essential core component of its configuration model.
At least this is what I remember. At this point I am very happy with caddy and it is what I use pretty much on all my services.
Thank you mholt for such a nice project and sorry for being overly critical of the ad in the Server response header very many years ago. :)
I also started using traefik a while back with docker labels. it was a bit more to set up than I thought it would be, but now that I've figured it all out it's not too bad.
at the time I had seem a lot of people talking about caddy as well and considered using it instead, but traefik had better perf/latency benchmarks and caddy seemed a bit too much geared toward or at least better suited for dev environment scenarios.
It's worrying that it's only considered annoying to US companies; after all to them it's just a fine, if it even comes to that. A fine is only a punishment for poor people, for rich companies it's a one off expense.
Even beyond trying the min max strategy and finding an effective charity you can like, fund free daycare for your community or something. This a really lazy reason to not donate money if you are rich.
Please read more fiction. Why should everything be about becoming a 'better' person? Why not enjoy a good story? Unconsciously you will learn something, even from fiction.
Fiction gives me so much more than the "science-light" books mentioned in this blog post.
I don't think these books are bad and without ideas or merit, but many of them show an idea in the first two chapters and then repeat it for the rest of the book. It's like an expanded blog post with adequate but average writing. Reading 40 of them in a year is going to leave most people not remembering anything significant. Kind of like people that say they travelled to 40 countries in a year. You're not going to get anything other than surface-level understanding and some jetlag.
Yes! Fiction tends to be much better written and in many cases is an excellent window into understanding people whose lives have been very different from your own. If you want to improve your social awareness and better understand the human condition, fiction is a must.
If the author's goal is to live better rather than read about how to live better, I don't think the solution of reading make-believe fits. The same rejoinder exists: the author would be better served by actually meeting new people and learning from them rather than reading pretend.
Yeah exactly. I guessed pretty early that the books he was reading were productivity-branded self help and pop science. These can be fun but 2-3 per decade is probably plenty.
At 40 non-fiction books per year I'd throw in the towel too.
Fiction on the other hand… I think I average 40 a year without it being an effort at all. Just read a bit in bed before sleeping and on holidays. That's not an abnormal number for anyone who reads for leisure.
Was the author conflating the two? I can't imagine properly processing the contents of 40 non-fiction books in a year.
