Comparing free and open source Kanboard and Wekan self-hosted alternatives to Trello for kanban functionality

Whilst the free version of Trello has some really nice features along with the slickest GUI on the desktop as well as mobile, what if you want a securely in-house hosted and scalable alternative? One thing you have to accept is you're not quite going to get that same interface especially when it comes to mobile, but there is still rich functionality to be found in alternative products. The two strongest contenders I found based on similarity of looks and features, as well as ease of installation, were Wekan and Kanboard. KanbanFlow was a strong contender but is similar to Trello in terms of free/priced model and was not open source, and Rastyaboard was another strong contender but is more open core, and needs a request to get it. Both of these contenders had good mobile app support though.

Captura – free and open source screen video recording for Windows without ads or limited recording time

I had to urgently find a SIMPLE screen recorder in a hurry as my meeting had started online, and I had to use Windows OS (some issue with Skype for Business not starting on Linux).

Everything I found on a search for Windows limited to 10 mins recording, or had watermarks, or no computer output sound source, etc. But wow Captura ticked all the boxes with full screen or region of screen, choice of one or more audio recordings, FPS rate, mouse clicks, key strokes, portable build, etc in a simple interface. All I did have to do was download FFMPEG, and point Captura it to the binary file. See https://mathewsachin.github.io/Captura/ #technology #screenrecordi...
