There's really no need to reverse proxy ssh. What are you attempting to accomplish with the reverse proxy exactly? Http proxying allows you to add things like TLS encryption and modify headers. But ssh is a secure protocol already and you can't really modify much in transit.

I have a similar relationship with "Dancer in the Dark" whenever I get around to it. I always cry...

Because many of them believe the same thing. The Democratic party is overall moderate conservatives, but some swing further right than others. We don't have a progressive party in the US.

Would only be worth it if you created a system for easily deploying applications on an already set up subnet with routing preconfigured.

Like set up a single server kubernetes distribution like microk8s or minikube on the server with metalLB and ingress already preconfigured on the server and router. You could also give instructions on how to install a GUI like Lens and how to use it to deploy a few things. Probably using workstation applications would be better than a web UI like Portainer to keep the server lighter, but either might work.

But the entire point of this article was about "recycling", not "reuse". And "recycling" means breaking something down and making something new out of it, not cleaning and reselling for reuse which requires that the items are intact and cleanable. Seattle does not do that with plastics and thus does not "recycle" them. So as I keep stating Seattle does not accept plastics "for recycling". Which is a true statement that can be verified on their website.

And reuse is not what the original article is talking about and thus not relevant. Most recycling companies process plastics "for reuse". None in the US accept them "for recycling" (with the exception of some industrial sources) and never have since the beginning of the "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" program in the US. They have always shipped that material elsewhere and those places have just thrown them in landfills. Which is the whole point of this article and discussion.

Right, trade deals, not genocide deals.

I specifically said "for recycling".

And that is what this article is about. Not about cleaning and reuse, which can be done by anyone, but melting down and recycling which takes specialized equipment and a market for the reduced quality recycled materials, in addition to the expense of sorting and cleaning to reduce contamination.

Seattle does not recycle plastics nor does any recycling company in the US with the exception of a very small subset of materials which are primarily from industrial sources, not consumers.

"...for recycling." Seattle does not accept plastics for melting down and recycling, only for cleaning and reuse. If you're putting all plastics with a recycling symbol in your bin, then you really should check out the "Where Does it Go" tool on the website. https://www.seattle.gov/utilities/your-services/collection-and-disposal/where-does-it-go

If you look through most of the plastics sections, if the item is not cleanable and reusable, most of the time it says to put it in the garbage bin. If you browse the site a bit you'll see that they specifically mention that since China stopped taking "recyclables", there is a lot less that can go in the recycling bin and it basically says to ignore the labels on plastics and instead go based on the reusability based on the function of the item rather than the material.

(Sure I probably shouldn't blanket say that there is no type of plastic that they recycle, but for the average person who hasn't worked in the plastics industry and doesn't understand the difference between PVC and polyethylene for example, it's best to just use the general rule of thumb that if it's broken it goes in the garbage because it's not getting melted down, reformulated, and made into a new, lower quality product in 99%+ of cases. People shouldn't have to think that hard to know what bin to put it in, so it's best to toss it if you aren't sure. Otherwise we just increase the costs for everyone when more sorting and disposal has to happen at the recycling plant.)

Well, I mean the recycling bins in most cities just gets put in landfills. It used to get shipped to China and put in landfills there, but China stopped taking it now that they don't have room for it and finally admitted plastic companies were lying about recycling it after lots of investigative reports.

Reuse is best but they really need to educate people and start actually fining people for putting the wrong stuff in the wrong bins if they do it repeatedly. Also, composting should be more widespread in larger areas to reduce waste.

But the biggest problem with burning the garbage is that they don't properly collect the fumes. It's expensive to do and would basically negate the income on the electricity produced. Some countries do it right and if done properly and if they are able to do it a lot, then it can be good. But Spokane is like the worst place to do it if you're not collecting the fumes properly considering the climate and wildfire smoke that is already choking everyone all across the state and beyond. And plastic fumes are especially deadly for people with asthma, not to mention cancer causing. But a lot of cities still allow people to burn their own garbage and so many people burn plastics when they do. It's horrible.

With fines that low, totally worth it to discourage future whistleblowers considering the seriousness of some of the crimes which they likely will get tiny fines for as well.
