And you think land lords won’t pass increased property taxes on to their tenants?

I don’t live in NYC so I won’t give an opinion on this but landlords won’t just eat increased taxes.

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?

I’m not trying to be snarky here. I’m just struggling with how to make this not sounds snarky.

You’re incorrect. You would be correct for any other workers but federal employees are different. I was a federal employee and have witnessed those differences first-hand. The TSA is absolutely required to continue working without pay. If you search for info on it, there are many articles discussing this issue every time there is a shutdown. For example.

ICE has $75B on-hand from the “Big Bogus Bill” and is still operating as normal including continuing to pay agents and staff. Other DHS agencies, like the TSA, are shut down but many people are required to continue working without pay because they are “essential”.

She actually said “The DOW is over fifty thousand do… I don’t know why you’re laughing!” it sounded like she was going to say “fifty thousand dollars” but got side tracked mid word.

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.

I generally ignore anything from News Week, Raw Story, or the Daily Beast. They all do stuff like this. They twist facts to get a story where there is none.

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

And will likely be commended for their actions.

I wish I knew what to do about this shit. As one person anything I do seems futile. I can’t even convince family members that they’re on the wrong side…

@[email protected] I just want to say thanks for posting quality links so frequently. You’re one of the few who isn’t posting click bait junk like Raw Story and Daily Beast.

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

The seat opened up after Republican state Sen. Kelly Hancock was tapped as acting state comptroller.

So, the Republicans felt comfortable enough in this district to intentionally trigger this election. They could have appointed someone from another district or someone who wasn’t holding a seat at all, but they thought they were safe. I think that shows just how badly they are underestimating the level of outrage right now.

The fuck? He literally has his hands in the air.

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

Wow, I’m sure this comes from the mayor. While it may be tough to sue the police for this due to qualified immunity, the same doesn’t apply to the mayor. She should sue. This is blatantly illegal intimidation.

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?
