edit: I like matrix.io more than discord. I will try to stick with matrix.io but yeah, discord has more people in it though :(
I have many general questions I would like to throw at people about Linux, these don’t require the attention of a post. So, are there any good Linux chat rooms out there? Discord is ok, Telegram or any other open-source or partially open-source service with good interaction is better.
rant: I don’t realize why some people hate Telegram so much, it’s far better than whatsapp and more widespread than other Chatrooms and Servers. And I like the privacy I get on Telegram. I can send a message to anyone without them knowing who I am! That’s amazing!
Thank you for your help!
I think you can search for discord servers in the web/desktop app, can’t you? I’m on mobile at the moment and don’t see it in the app. I feel like I’ve done it before though.
Ordinarily I look for something more specific about what I’m trying to do… For self hosting stuff, the kubernetes@home thing is solid. The cncf server is great too. If that’s not you jam though obviously it won’t help… For me personally, kubernetes is basically just a modern implementation of a Linux distro. Obv ymmv.
I’ve never heard of k8s described as a modern implementation of a Linux distro. What makes you say that?
Obviously only talking about user space here… Kube doesn’t have any ambitions to manage kernel drivers or whatever (at least not until eBPF gets wider adoption).
Basically though, they have the same goals. To run programs and manage network communications. Kube does this in an extremely flexible way and it allows you to tolerate failures much more gracefully than the old ways. It’s nowhere near appropriate as a replacement for a desktop distribution though… I’m talking about the server world.
The way kube works is really just a beautiful thing to see and I never want to manage a server the old way again if I can avoid it. The wider infrastructure industry is all moving in this direction and the overwhelming bulk of open-source development effort is going into cloud native tooling… The CNCF landscape map alone shows how huge of an explosion is occurring right now… It’s an exciting time to be involved.
