That's a great question, maxim. I think Kubernetes gets so much attention sometimes that people forget to ask "why". It might help to remember that Kubernetes is a container orchestrator, meaning that its job is to help you manage containers.
This means that anything you can put into a container, you can run on your Kubernetes cluster. Whether that's a web server, or forum software, or a fancy web app, or anything else that you've ever seen offering a Docker install. It's a readjustment of how services are provided to a network, but once you start looking at what you can containerize, you start seeing all kinds of things you can run on Kubernetes.
Whether or not you actually *need* to is another question. Most home users probably don't have an urgent need for Kubernetes. But those aspiring to IT careers could benefit from learning about Kubernetes by running a cluster, and those who do provide services to family and friends could benefit from containers and Kubectl and so on.
FATE's neat, and it was on my shortlist for inclusion in this article. I ended up leaving it off because I had a difficult time finding a clear point of entry. If you have a favourite resource for getting started, and one that's available while stuck at home in quarantine, I'd love to hear about it so I can include it in an article in the future.
I know about https://fate-srd.com and mostly like the Accelerated rule set. But ideally there'd be something that was easy to print or reference on screen (a huge page, not a chunked page).
