  • Yeah, screensharing is not a thing in most clients, but I think it’s a matter of time (years?) before it’s properly implemented. In the meantime, you can use jitsi meet? Not sure if it covers your use case. I’ll just copy this reddit comment, which has some good info:

    Yes, it’s possible, but with some limitations. For video calls between a Linux and a Windows client using ejabberd, you need an XMPP client that supports WebRTC. Some options: • Dino (Linux) – Supports video calls but no screen sharing. • Gajim (Linux/Windows) – Can do video calls with plugins, but no screen sharing. • Jitsi (XMPP mode) – Supports WebRTC and screen sharing but requires a separate Jitsi server. Since most XMPP clients don’t natively support screen sharing, you have two main options: 1. Use Jitsi Meet, which integrates with XMPP and allows both video calls and screen sharing. 2. Use OBS VirtualCam (on Windows) to share the screen as a “camera” in a video call. If you want a fully functional setup with both video calls and screen sharing, setting up Jitsi Meet with ejabberd is the best approach.









  • Well, as everything, it is safe is you do it right. If you are just starting, you could try running some services in LAN, or if you don’t have the hardware, a cheap VPS with VPN or some other tunneling. That way, you’re not exposing your data to the wider internet.

    Of course, you should keep backups of everything you deem important, and once you start feeling more comfortable, you may try opening up your services with a reverse proxy (caddy, nginx) and some authentication (authelia, authentik). You can try hosting simple things, things that expect to be open to the internet, like a game server.

    If you’re limited by your hardware, you can start planning to buy something bigger. But I don’t recommend it to just get started; you can do a lot of learning with basic hardware (and the prices are crazy right now too).

    Edit: seconded what ghost_laptop said, an e-mail server is kind of the hardest there is for self-hosting. There are solutions like mailcow, but even that is very hard to set up.





  • Games with tons of replayability, where I have already spent a ton of hours:
    Roguelikes:
    1 - Dwarf Fortress
    2 - Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead
    Resource/construction based:
    3 - Satisfactory (sorry, Factorio fans)
    4 - Valheim
    5 - Minecraft or Terraria
    RPGs with deep systems
    6 - Divinity: Original Sin 2 or Fallout: New Vegas + mods
    7 - Baldur’s Gate 3
    Classics that I want to play from time to time
    8 - Dark Souls: Prepare to Die edition
    9 - Bloodborne
    Some skill-based game that I’m never going to get amazing at, therefore infinite playtime:
    10 - Either some fighting game (Skullgirls?) or something like Crypt of the Necrodancer

    Not a perfect list, but I probably would have enough stuff to play until I die :P
