I remember running Winamp in the background along with various games (Diablo, Age of Empires, Red Alert). They would always lag terribly.. but not if you didn't log in first!

win+R before login was pretty useful - albeit insecure!

The logo just makes me think "Chrome"...

No Mastodon? https://mastodon.social

I've seen them being used, eg. the /standup command in hipchat, but not a huge fan. Obviously Skype or similar for remote teams.

TBH I always think of standups as being as informal and brief as possible, and physical interaction promotes better comms within the team.

If it's causing real problems, why not suggest a low-tech solution like keeping notes?

I think you're better off with this for a proper technical feature-set... https://thatoneprivacysite.net/vpn-section/

What's wrong with ORMs? I tend to use Dapper. I've found that it can solve most of my problems, and it's easy to drop back to raw SQL as needed for the last 5% that need finer control. It's also super easy to extend and customize based on my requirements, and it's almost as fast as raw SQL.

It really comes down to preference, tooling, and coding standards.

Personally, I use tabs.

Well that sucks. I was just getting used to using Wunderlist. I guess I'll have to give dead trees another try...

Reminds me of a Black Mirror episode... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2089050/?ref_=ttep_ep3

Good call, but my line in is RJ25 so probably not gonna happen.

I think the Turris Omnia (https://omnia.turris.cz/en/) looks fantastic, and plan on getting one when my budget allows.

On further (re)inspection though it seems you'd still be tied to your ISP's router/modem :(

Perhaps there's a good standalone/mPCI modem out there somewhere?

Have you looked at Git LFS? https://git-lfs.github.com/

GitLab have it in the Community and Commercial Editions: https://about.gitlab.com/2015/11/23/announcing-git-lfs-suppo...

I didn't like their client so switched to using the OpenVPN client instead: https://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/downloads.html

I use https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/ on recommendation from a colleague, and I'm pretty happy. No logs, plenty servers, no real issues, and they recently shut down their Russian server due to imminent privacy concerns. So I feel that they have their priorities straight.

I used https://www.frootvpn.com/ briefly when it was free - seemed ok too, but not many servers back then.

Depends really what you want to use it for, but you could look into something like https://www.zerotier.com/ or even hosting your own.

Cool idea, but how do you deal with flats or multi-stories? What about mail distribution - how do you group items for the same area?
