Re: [Staffslug] What Do You Think?
I really hate the way that the modern assumption is that everybody
wants to move towards cloud-based computing.
I'm happy to see such a future, but I want to maintain control of my
data. I think it would be best if it was made very easy for everybody
to host their own cloud. If you could buy a box like current 1TB NAS
devices, which ran a version of linux exposing all your data and
services via apache.. Sorted. No?

Or, in my experience Windows couldn't find the codec to play back the
media :-) It was some time ago but I was mightily annoyed. Sadly I
don't think I tried it on a Linux box, sorry.
