Last night's GoLUG meeting (11/4/2026) on meet.xmlbrain.com/golug
worked well. We had 11 people at the meeting's peak, and everything
seemed to work well, although there were occasional audio artifacts
kind of like what you sometimes hear in a cell phone conversation.

I'm (slowly) writing a document on rolling your own Jitsi server to
democratize Jitsi as much as possible. I am kind of privileged to have
484 Mbps down and 23.0 Mbps up, and my computer has 64GB RAM and 6
cores, 12 threads, so my Jitsi appliance VM can easily be given 4 cores
and 16GB RAM and 30GB disk. Given where you guys live, however, I'd
imagine a lot of you have similar advantages or better.

If you haven't found/developed something by the next Conspire meeting,
you can use meet.xmlbrain.com.
