If I read it right, I’d need to pay €3 on each item when Aliexpress bundles 20 1€ items together - €60 in tax for €20 worth of items, or effectively a 300% tax. That’s what the language implies with “applied to each different item, …, contained in a consignment.”
That’s not just a tax on revenue, or an incentive to buy locally - that’s literally prohibitory. Do they want to obliterate the "direct-to-consumer" cheap goods for good with this?
But I don’t understand who this law protects anyway? Most of “local” sellers that offer Aliexpress-kind of items (where else can I find my “stainless steel meat shredder claws” but there?) basically drop ship from Taobao and the like. This law forces me to use them - but they will suffer as well, wouldn’t they? So who else’s left? Local manufacturers? But they don’t offer nearly as much in terms of variety. So this law implies that unregulated variety is a luxury now?
These cheap FreedomFi units seem to only support CBRS frequencies.
I've been using OEL since before Rocky was a thing. It was and still is a free alternative to RHEL.
Apart from that, all my planned use of XPipe fits entirely in the Community feature set (maybe apart from Yubikey/GPG agent).
But now I'd need to pay $5 a month just to open a shell? No thanks.
Also, a slight tangent, but charging homelab folks $5/mo is weird. The only profit I'm making with my homelab is negative. And I, as a developer, would much more likely to ask my employer to buy an enterprise license if I actually liked using it at home. Like Tailscale, JetBrains, etc.
