Jitsi is a video bridge server. It allows two or more users to do video chat. It uses Prosody for an XMPP chat also, and appears to use Prosody for authentication. It can be run in a standard web browser, though it is much better on Chrome/Chromium based browsers (FireFox is supported, but may have some weirdness). text/html 2023-02-26T23:07:59+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://kb.unixservertech.com/software/multibootusb?rev=1677452879&do=diff Multiboot USB Thumb Drive I like YUMI as it allows me to build a multiboot USB drive easily. The problem with it is that the main UI runs best under Windows, and I do not have any Windows machines in my office. However, at our NOC, we have several Windows virtuals, some of which we use internally, so we can use one of those. How to attach a USB Thumbdrive on my workstation to the remote virtual was an interesting problem.

This only copies the used parts of an NTFS file system but, it only works on file systems (not block devices), so you have to go through some additional steps if you want the entire disk backed up. The following is an example of backing up everything you need for recovery. text/html 2018-11-29T04:53:21+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://kb.unixservertech.com/software/programmingapps?rev=1543467201&do=diff Programming Apps for Linux Never mind the language, or anything you need to run a program.
