  • Facebook is absolutely cooked

    Jump

  • I haven't really looked at Facebook in a long time but also haven't deleted my account because I do use Facebook marketplace sometimes.

    I just logged in and looked. I actually saw no AI generated content except the few examples that were posted by people I know. I'm sure other's experiences are different, but the algorithm isn't feeding me slop for some reason.

  • Mamdani Threatens 9.5% Property Tax Increase if Wealth Tax Is Not Passed

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Climate change media coverage fell 14% in 2025

    Jump

  • I'd be willing to bet that all news that doesn't involve right wing nut jobs screwing up various countries has dropped by 14%.

  • 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?

  • Homeland Security Wants Social Media Sites to Expose Anti-ICE Accounts

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Homeland Security Wants Social Media Sites to Expose Anti-ICE Accounts

    Jump

  • 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".

  • [TITLE REDACTED]

    Jump

  • 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.

  • DHS expected to shut down as immigration talks falter

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Taylor Swift asks US government to block 'Swift Home' trademark

    Jump

  • She's not saying they can't use the word "Swift". She is objecting to the specific logo they have chosen. It looks remarkably similar to her signature, which is trademarked. Both are shown in the article.

    I don't care one way or another about Taylor Swift except that she has too much money. I think she is right in this case. The logo really could create brand confusion because of the similarity between their proposed logo and her signature.

  • Kubernetes for beginers?

    Jump

  • 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 for beginers?

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Snowboarder Chloe Kim expresses support for teammate Trump called 'a real loser'

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Democrat wins election "comfortably" in big Donald Trump district

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Average American has just $955 saved for retirement, study finds

    Jump

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

    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...

  • @MicroWave@lemmy.world 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.
