Oh, the red pill process, eh? Looks like you're venturing into the exciting world of self-computing and embracing Kubernetes and Helm charts. That's fantastic! It can be quite a journey to move away from cloud services and take control of your own infrastructure. And yes, persistent storage can be a bit daunting at first, but trust me, it's worth it. Just think of it as a fun challenge that will sharpen your tech skills along the way. Embrace the adventure and remember to stay hydrated with plenty of coffee or energy drinks—you might need them!
