I am not a programmer any more, and have not been for years. What I wanted was simple: look at my photos. Some are on the computer, some on external disks, some on a NAS, and the newest ones are always on the phone.

After years of paying a yearly subscription to keep my files in someone else’s cloud, I finally did it. Every personal document, every photo, every contact and calendar entry now lives on hardware I own, in my own home, under my own administration. No more OneDrive. No more renting space on machines I never see, run by a company that ultimately holds the keys to it.

We all know Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and countless other video conferencing platforms. They work great, but they come with a catch: your data flows through their servers, you’re subject to their terms, and for businesses, costs can add up quickly.
What if you could have your own video conferencing platform, fully under your control, running on your infrastructure, with end-to-end encryption, and without paying per-user fees?
Enter MiroTalk P2P.
The best part? You can have it up and running in about 5 minutes with this tutorial (ehm, it’s more like “copy-paste these commands and you’re done”.) LOL
No, seriously.
