Misses big interactive timeline for scrubbing and pausing, like a video.
Inevitably other people and OP will not care about off-topic things
>Do you think something like this is feasible for a home media server?

Absolutely. It's easy to install, works great, the only problem you need to solve is DNS. Either you need to use a service to point the domain to your dynamic IP or rent a static IP for your home address, which could pot expose your home network to attacks.

>things like video streaming from this would be slow

Depends on your uplink. Probably. If your home internet is fast you can stream for yourself or even a couple of people, but you can't really run a video streaming operation. It's easy math, just watch your bandwidth while your stream a video. On private customer plans, uplinks are usually artificially made a fraction of the bandwidth of downlinks by ISPs because they want businesses to be unable to run on them and buy the more expensive options instead

Yeah. I use a modified mintty-solarized-dark theme for cygwin, and symlinked my windows home dir into the cygwin one.

I never got around on writing a blag about how to do this, but I like it a lot

I use cygwin symlinked into the windows home directory, works great and unlike the microsoft ubuntu hack you can set permissions temporarily

the transition to systemd was painless, unlike VB error handling :-P

Might as well switch to the firefox-internal password store

Yes, this is obviously from this article https://myopsblog.wordpress.com/2017/02/06/why-databases-is-... which is on the front page. But I would like to hear opinions on the claims in this blogpost from you guys.

windows has this feature where you hold alt after alt-tab and then click on the respective window icon instead of using arrow keys to navigate

i want to bring this to lxde someday

It's a rant about PR bullshit, specifically this:

>Windows is the only platform with a customer commitment to investigate reported security issues and proactively update impacted devices as soon as possible,

EDIT and this

>The time has come for Microsoft vulnerability disclosure communications to mute the marketers and let the security engineers do the talking instead.

I found it funny to be honest
