I want those little hands grab my fingers. They look so gentle and soft!

Despite Because of

Try reading the collar. It is jibberish. Also, the shadows on the collar just seem off and the colors seem much too uniform.

Other things that give me the AI feel are:

• the second hippo’s eyes
• the hippo also has no teeth
• odd blurring around that same hippo’s head
• the odd coloration and shadows on the dog’s hippo hat
• generally, things like depth of field, shadows, and focal length seem off. It is as if different objects are from different cameras/lenses with different focal lengths, different lighting, and different editing.

The hippo’s just don’t look real, either. Too uniform and perfect with no teeth. Their teeth should be pretty prominent.

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.

Holy shit, Fucker Tarlson is on the right side of an interview?

I can’t believe people like Huckabee exist and are in positions of power. We’re going to base international land rights decisions on what the fucking Bible says? And a bad interpretation at that?!

Even if we want to base this kind of policy on the Bible, Jews are not the only descendants of Abram. To say otherwise is to get into a theological debate about whether one son of Abraham counts and the other doesn’t.

Come on. This is 2026. Yes, it is a shit year but we can’t have religious zealots using their specific interpretation of their religious book to justify fucking genocide! I knew we weren’t beyond this on an individual human level, but I thought we were beyond this as a society.

Fuck…

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?

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.
