These last few months have been really wonderful in enabling me to catch up on making sure that as much of the technology that I use to be working online is indeed free and open source tools.

I mention above that I run my own Jitsi.org server. Here’s the network diagram of how it is deployed.
Thanks to Andrew, I’ve also added Audacity as the go to for editing audio files. Been using it for years and has been stellar!
Very useful Harsh!
Thanks for this useful overview. About your Jitsi server setup: did you use RPMs to install the Jitsi components? If so, where did you find them?
