I’m an English teacher who wanted to “cut the cord” wherever I could, so I started learning about domain hosts, containerization, .yaml files, etc.

Since then, I’ve been hosting several pods for file sharing and streaming for many years, and I’m currently thinking about learning kubernetes for home deployment. But why?

If you aren’t in development, IT, cyber security, or in a related profession, what made you want to learn this on your own? What made you want to pick this up as a hobby?

    I’ve been trying to get the boys off discord for years, and am finally getting some traction with the whole age verification thing. Sticking point is they want screen sharing, any ideas?

      Teamspeak 6 is in beta right now, but does have screen sharing. I don’t know how stable everything is atm, but might be worth looking into and keeping an eye on.

      If the pricing model remains the same, we can expect TS6 to have a free self-hostable server for up to 32 users (which is the beta licensing right now).

      I don’t know of any FOSS programs that have it, but I’m sure you can ask around and find one.

        Yeah, in the asking around/trying stuff out phase now. https://movim.eu/ is the frontrunner, TS6 and a bunch of Element Call improvements for Matrix are apparently just around the corner. Matrix is my best guess for where things are headed and the smart move would be waiting for it to mature juuust a little, but I want to act while I’ve got their attention and that means having something up and running by the time Discord asks them for an id
