PaperBack is a free application that allows you to back up your precious files on the ordinary paper in the form of the oversized bitmaps. If you have a good laser printer with the 600 dpi resolution, you can save up to 500,000 bytes of uncompressed data on the single A4/Letter sheet. Integrated packer allows for much better data density - up to 3,000,000+ (three megabytes) of C code per page.
You may ask - why? Why, for heaven's sake, do I need to make paper backups, if there are so many alternative possibilities like CD-R's, DVD±R's, memory sticks, flash cards, hard disks, streamer tapes, ZIP drives, network storages, magnetooptical cartridges, and even 8-inch double-sided floppy disks formatted for DEC PDP-11? (I still have some). The answer is simple: you don't. However, by looking on CD or magnetic tape, you are not able to tell whether your data is readable or not. You must insert your medium into the drive (if you have one!) and try to read it.
Paper is different. Do you remember the punched cards? EBCDIC and all this stuff. For years, cards were the main storage medium for the source code. I agree that 100K+ programs were... unhandly, but hey, only real programmers dared to write applications of this size. And used cards were good as notepads, too. Punched tapes were also common. And even the most weird codings, like CDC or EBCDIC, were readable by humans (I mean, by real programmers).
Of course, bitmaps produced by PaperBack are also human-readable (with the small help of any decent microscope). I'm joking. What you need is a scanner attached to PC. Actual version is for Windows only, but it's free and open source, and there is nothing that prevents you from porting PaperBack to Linux or Mac, and the chances are good that it still will work under Windows XXXP or Trillenium Edition. And, of course, you can mail your printouts to the recipients anywhere in the world, even if they have no Internet access or live in the countries where such access is restricted by the regiment.
Oh yes, a scanner. For 600 dpi printer you will need a scanner with at least 900 dpi physical (let me emphasize, physical, not interpolated) resolution.
Have I already mentioned that PaperBack is free? I release it under the GNU General Public License, version 3. This means that you pay nothing for the program, that the sources are freely available, and that you are allowed - in fact, encouraged - to modify and improve this application.
- Installation.
You don't need to install PaperBack. Copy it to any directory, if possible, with unrestricted write access (to allow PaperBack to save settings to the initialization file), optionally create shortcut on the desktop - that's all.

Halibut: yet another free document preparation system
Halibut is a documentation production system, with elements similar to TeX, debiandoc-sgml, TeXinfo, and others. It is primarily targeted at people producing software manuals.
What does it do?
Halibut reads documentation source in a single input format, and produces multiple output formats containing the same text. The supported output formats are:
- Plain ASCII text
- HTML
- PostScript
- Unix man pages
- Unix info, generated directly as .info files rather than .texi sources
- Windows HTML Help (.CHM files), generated directly without needing a separate help compiler.
- Windows WinHelp (old-style .HLP files), also generated directly.
- Other notable features include:
- Hypertext cross-references are ubiquitous where possible. In particular, the HTML and PDF output both have hyperlinks in every reference between sections, and throughout the index and contents sections. (It seems daft to me that so many PDF documents fail to have this; it's one of the most useful features of PDF.)
- Support for international characters via Unicode, with the ability to fall back to an alternative representation. For example, you can write \u00F6{oe}, and in output formats that support it you will see ‘ö’ whereas in those that don't you will see ‘oe’.
- Comprehensive indexing support. Indexing is easy in the simple case: as you write the manual, you just wrap a word or two in \i{this wrapper}, and those words will appear in the index.
- More complex indexing is also supported, such as
adding references to things you never explicitly said
rewriting the appearance of index entries for a consistent style
duplicating index entries to several places because you don't know which concept they'll be looked up under
merging references to several things into one combined list. - Portability. The Halibut source code is portable ANSI C (apart from a dependency on having at least a 32-bit platform), so it should run without change on Unix, Windows, BeOS, MacOS, VMS, or whatever other (non-16-bit) OS you fancy. (Well, you might have trouble outputting PDF under VMS, due to file typing issues. I dunno.)
- Configurability. Each output format supplies configuration directives, so it is easy to tailor the HTML output (say) to contain a standard header with links to other parts of a site, or to use a style sheet, or whatever.
This project is a lightweight authentication server that provides an opinionated, simplified LDAP interface for authentication. It integrates with many backends, from KeyCloak to Authelia to Nextcloud and more!
The goal is not to provide a full LDAP server; if you're interested in that, check out OpenLDAP. This server is a user management system that is:
- simple to setup (no messing around with slapd),
- simple to manage (friendly web UI),
- low resources,
- opinionated with basic defaults so you don't have to understand the subtleties of LDAP.
It mostly targets self-hosting servers, with open-source components like Nextcloud, Airsonic and so on that only support LDAP as a source of external authentication.
For more features (OAuth/OpenID support, reverse proxy, ...) you can install other components (KeyCloak, Authelia, ...) using this server as the source of truth for users, via LDAP.
Mail hosting made simple.
Modoboa is a mail hosting and management platform including a modern and simplified Web User Interface. It provides useful components such as an administration panel or a webmail.
Modoboa integrates with well known software such as Postfix or Dovecot. A SQL database (MySQL, PostgreSQL or SQLite) is used as a central point of communication between all components.
Modoboa is developed with modularity in mind, expanding it is really easy. Actually, all current features are extensions.
It is written in Python 3 and uses the Django, jQuery and Bootstrap frameworks.
SOGo offers multiple ways to access calendaring and messaging data. Your users can either use a web browser, Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, Apple iCal, or a mobile device to access the same information.
SOGo is a highly interoperable solution due to its adoption and promotion of open standards. Among those, SOGo particularly focuses on:
CalDAV: The Calendaring Extensions to WebDAV protocol is vastly popular among clients (Apple iCal, Mozilla Lightning, etc.) and allows them to exchange calendar components with servers that support it.
CardDAV: In its fourth revision, vCard Extensions to WebDAV is to address books / contacts what CalDAV is to calendaring. Less popular than CalDAV, it's nevertheless quickly gaining momentum and is used by the SOGo Connector extension.
Mail protocols: For messaging, SOGo fully makes use of standard protocols such as IMAP and SMTP.

Mail-in-a-Box lets you become your own mail service provider in a few easy steps. It’s sort of like making your own gmail, but one you control from top to bottom.
Technically, Mail-in-a-Box turns a fresh cloud computer into a working mail server. But you don’t need to be a technology expert to set it up.
Here’s how you can get a Mail-in-a-Box running:
Each Mail-in-a-Box provides webmail and an IMAP/SMTP server for use with mobile devices and desktop mail software. It also includes contacts and calendar synchronization.
- Roundcube Webmail
- Nextcloud Contacts
- A Control Panel //
If you are an expert and have a domain name and a completely fresh Ubuntu 18.04 machine running in the cloud, you basically just run on that machine:
curl -s https://mailinabox.email/setup.sh | sudo bashYou will be asked to enter the email address you want and a few other configuration questions. The script will install (and uninstall!) and configure a few dozen Ubuntu packages and the Mail-in-a-Box control panel. Consult the setup guide for complete details. See the README on github for advanced instructions.
Please note that the goal of this project is to provide a simple, turn-key solution. There are basically no configuration options and you can’t tweak the machine’s configuration files after installation. If you are looking for something more advanced, try iRedMail or Modoboa.
💌 Mail app for Nextcloud.
A mail app for Nextcloud
Integration with other Nextcloud apps! Currently Contacts, Calendar & Files – more to come.
📥 Multiple mail accounts! Personal and company account? No problem, and a nice unified inbox. Connect any IMAP account.
🔒 Send & receive encrypted mails! Using the great Mailvelope browser extension.
📑 Message threads! Now we have proper grouping of message threads.
🗄️ Mailbox management! You can edit, delete, add submailboxes and more.
🙈 We’re not reinventing the wheel! Based on the great Horde libraries.
📬 Want to host your own mail server? We don’t have to reimplement this as you could set up Mail-in-a-Box!

Then there’s Avira Rescue System, which can scan for and repair various problems with the settings and configuration of Windows. Microsoft has its own virus scanner that can run from a USB drive too: Microsoft Safety Scanner.
Run a portable operating system
We’ve mentioned portable apps, but you can also carry an entire computer with you on a USB drive—operating system, applications, files, and all. The open-source Linux OS is perfect for this, and several distributions of Linux can be run in a portable mode, including Linux Lite, Puppy Linux, and MX Linux. Have a look around to see which distro might suit you best. //

Ownership of Remotely has been transferred.
Hello, all.
For those who aren't already aware, I wanted to officially let you know that ownership of Remotely has been transferred to Immense Networks. They are now maintaining the GitHub repo and the public server.
You can find more info on Immense here: https://github.com/immense
In case you're wondering why this happened, it was due to the two issues I've always had with this project: time and money. As the project grew in size and popularity, the requests for features, fixes, and support grew with it. But the amount of money coming in from sponsorships did not.
Ultimately, without a revenue stream that would allow me to work on Remotely full-time, the project was unsustainable. Once it gained some popularity, it became a second job, one that paid mere cents an hour. I simply don't have time or energy to keep up with it anymore. That energy needs to be redirected into my family and the job that pays the bills.
Thank you to everyone who helped, encouraged, and contributed. Your support was what kept me going this far.
Take care, and best wishes!

HuMo-genealogy is a free, open-source and multilingual server-side program that makes it very easy to publish your genealogical data on the internet as a dynamic and searchable family tree website.
HuMo-genealogy was created and is being constantly developed by Huub Mons in the Netherlands and all credits for this wonderful program go to him. If you are Dutch-speaking, please visit Huub's site instead. This English website is brought to you by Yossi Beck and aims at the international public. For a brief note you can contact me through the contact button on the top menu. For assistance with the installation and use of Humo-genealogy, please join the English Forum.
HuMo-genealogy is classified as a Gedcom to PHP program. This means it knows to take a Gedcom file (files that can be created and exported by all major genealogy programs) and convert it to PHP files, that display dynamic webpages on the internet.
the web’s leading online collaborative genealogy application
webtrees is open-source software, which means it’s constantly improved by a community of developers and costs $0 - yes, that means totally FREE! All you need to use it is a website with PHP and MySQL installed.
It works from standard GEDCOM files, and is therefore compatible with every major desktop application; and it aims to be efficient and effective by using the right combination of third-party tools, design techniques and open standards.
None of these are anti-malware tools. They don’t tweak the Windows interface. They aren’t general applications (such as image editors, office tools, or web browsers). Nope. These are all niche tools with the sole purpose of making Windows better and more convenient to use. All are free-to-use or offer a free version.
wallabag is a read-it-later application: it saves a web page by keeping content only. Elements like navigation or ads are deleted.
