You know, what I said was largely right but reading a few articles about the changes makes it apparent that your interpretation is also right.

In Dec. 2025, Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent nixxed some of the quarter designs that were approved by then-Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen during the Biden Administration for focusing “on DEI and Critical Race Theory policies.” One of the coins featured a line of people with arms linked, in between the words “We shall overcome.”

At the time, U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach said the coinage design is supposed to “celebrate American history and the founding of our great nation,” but that imagery was scrapped because “the Biden Administration and Secretary Yellen remained focused on DEI and Critical Race Theory policies.”

“The Trump Administration is dedicated to fostering prosperity and patriotism. We have no doubt these new designs will be wildly popular with the American people

I’ve seen others suggest that this is commemorative of the revolutionary war. This year is the 250th anniversary of the United States. The lack of an olive leaf was said to signify our unwillingness to compromise with England.

Do you mean $75 billion?

If the pictures are right, they part their hair on the opposite side. So, which is the evil one? Right part or left?

Okay, seriously, can he do one thing that isn’t objectively evil?

Edit: Not only was he nominated, he was confirmed in December and is CURRENTLY the US Ambassador to South Africa.

In 1987, Bozell and the NCPAC joined a coalition of groups opposed to the Reagan administration meeting with the president of the African National Congress, the leading anti-apartheid group in South Africa. Bozell wrote that he was “proud to become a member of the Coalition Against ANC Terrorism.” In 2013 Bozell complained on Twitter that the mainstream media “mythologizes” the late anti-apartheid leader and first president of a post-apartheid South Africa, Nelson Mandela.[5]

The more I read about this guy, the worse it gets…

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.

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.
