Age and term limits for congress, please!

How have I never heard of this? In the digital age the 4th amendment really means nothing…

Not that I disbelieve you but, source please?

They’ll still cave. Also, ICE already has $75B in hand to work with. They won’t be impacted by the shutdown at all. Unlike the TSA, ICE will still get paid for working.

As the guy whose comment you added to, thanks for pointing out podman kube play. I’ve ever used it before and it looks worth playing with. It’s a bit limited in terms of what resources it can create if you’re used to k8s, but it definitely looks useful for testing and quickly standing up simple apps.

Kubernetes has a hell of a learning curve. Once you get your head around it, it can be great but it is a huge lift to learn. For self hosting I’d lean towards docker-compose rather than kubernetes but kubernetes can be nice once you get past the super steep learning curve.

To answer your questions:

1. Any Linux flavor will do the job.
2. No, windows doesn’t really play nice with containers to begin with. Kubernetes is another layer of complexity that will make it tough.
3. Yep, definitely! This is typically done using helm charts. Helm is basically the package manager for kubernetes. There are many helm charts that you can just install into kubernetes and they’ll work for you. You can also roll your own if you have custom applications. Argocd can also be helpful depending on how deep you want to get.
4. I’d start by looking into videos on helm charts. That said, you will need a very strong understanding of docker containers and may need a good understanding of networking.

I would strongly recommend looking into deployment using docker-compose over kubernetes until you understand containers inside and out. While Kubernetes can be nice it akso adds another layer of difficulty. I say this as someone who uses kubernetes daily for work, uses off the shelf helm charts, and writes their own helm charts from scratch.

Trump has the thinnest skin of anyone alive. The comments that Hess made were extremely tame. Any other politician would just ignore his comments and move on but Trump has to be a baby. Only a loser could possibly dislike some of what Trump does; an Olympic-class loser.

Median and average are not the same. Median is going to be skewed very low compared to average in this case.

They scare you because you’re concerned about failure rate?

The hell? The Texas senate only meets for 140 days in odd years? How do they get anything done?

I think the article is junk but, it’s possible to have something whose existence is not top secret but whose details are.

This may be more pronounced, but this has been going on for at least 15 years and probably longer. I only say 15 years because that is how long I have been working with satellite imagery that easily shows these boundaries. They show up as obvious lines of light in nighttime visible satellite imagery.

Maine, notorious hotbed for illegal immigration and violence from undocumented immigrants. Definitely an efficient use of valuable ICE resources.

Wait, you mean it has nothing to do with immigration enforcement?

Can you imagine a world where abducting Trump wasn’t seen as an actor of war by just about everyone in the US? I wouldn’t be upset to see Trump hung as a traitor, but if Canada came in and abducted him, I’m fairly sure I’d see it as a breech of our sovereignty. I’d actually be pretty conflicted at that point…

I have thought for a long time that the chaos is the point. They’re not trying to do something strategically smart. They are trying to diminish the credibility of the US. They are corruptly manipulating US markets with big crazy moves as a means of transferring wealth to their friends while also trying to weaken the US.

They started small to see what they could get away with and have been progressively getting more wild with the moves they make.

Because the post specified code from 1969.

Fortran 66 isn’t too bad. You have to write everything yourself but if you’re just maintaining it is normally fine. Gotos get annoying, though!

Yes, billionaire’s money is largely tied up. They could structure how their earnings are managed, though. Musk sees much faster growth than would be expected from a conservative growth portfolio. If he were invested for conservative growth though, at an average interest rate of 5-6% and he gave away only his interest he could give every person experiencing homelessness in the US $50k/year forever.

He could easily structure things in such a way to make that happen.

So, get this. The 20 wealthiest people in the US hold a collective $3T according to Forbes. In 2025, just under 800,000 Americans experienced homelessness during the year. That means that the 20 wealthiest people in the country could give $3.75M to every homeless person in the country. By giving away only 10% of their wealth, they could give every person who experienced homelessness $375k.

Now, I don’t necessarily think that giving large amounts of money directly to people who are experiencing homelessness but $375k per person would do a LOT of good if put into a trust whose entire job is to fund programs to help the less fortunate.

Also, there are a lot of problems in this country that could benefit from funding. I’m just giving numbers as food for thought. These billionaires are hoarding wealth to such an obscene degree that they could essentially end homelessness in the US with 10% of their wealth.

Hell, if he could liquidate all of his assets (not possible, I know) Elon Musk could essentially solve the homelessness problem single-handedly.

You believe that North Korea actually is electrified but they just avoid light pollution? They are among the least electrified countries in the world.
