https://rdiff-backup.net/ [ 1 ] was http://www.nongnu.org/rdiff-backup/
Combines rsync with diff storage, so one can retrieve a backup from any point in time.
My initial impression was “Works wonderfully well.. very easy to use, very nice. Would be nice to have a GUI tool for recovery purposes though, but oh well.” .. but my 2009-04-01 glance was a flop.

A website/blog engine.
Decent. I switched to this because I didn’t really want to get into making my own thing. I can tolerate WordPress because of BlogText.
NOTE – WordPress is controlled by a dictatorship of tyrannical assholes. This won’t matter to most people, but it will for some.
wp-cli is essential.

xvidcap.sourceforge.net
Multiple regular-video formats. Simple and works.
2007-04-28 – While it works if compiled (slowly) from source, and can sync audio properly now that I’ve tried it again.. it can’t capture a reasonable-sized screen. It doesn’t even get the aspect ratio right.
xvidcap (gvidcap) – says it can record audio, and it can, but it doesn’t do it right. I have to research this problem.
