Arch Linux minimal container userland 100% reproducible - now what? https://lists.archlinux.org/hyperkitty/list/arch-dev-public@lists.archlinux.org/thread/AWJ6QUUTE4M27QMH5GSWVDPPMNJEFNEG/ #ArchLinux #Linux #ReproducibleBuilds
in last week's email to the reproducible-builds email list[1] about reproducible Arch Linux I mentioned there's only one unreproducible package left in docker.io/library/archlinux.

Due to amazing work by dvzrv and Foxboron this package is now also reproducible!

To try for yourself use:
podman run --rm -t archlinux sh -c 'pacman -Suy arch-repro-status --noconfirm && arch-repro-status'
Niche use case, but you can also use newgrp to run commands with a recently-added group to your user, without having to logout/login yet.
Biofuel does emit around the same carbon output to the atmosphere (compared to storing it). Producing the amount necessary to replace most of petrol requires a ton of crop land, and alternatives means of production are not available quite yet, if ever.
Oops, didn't catch that part from the parent comment. You're right, it breaks even in most if not all cases.
A side note : EVs are and will be needed for a long time, but an important reduction of personal vehicle use will be needed as well. Shifting the same usage to EVs will surely not be sufficient.
It is less bad, but still pollutes a lot, especially in countries with high-carbon electricity production.
