Kodi > MediaTomb , but it doesn't look like you're looking for a media center application, just a upnp server? Emby sure looks cool, hadn't seen that before. I think MediaTomb Setup was easier than ReadyMedia like 6 years ago (or was it minidlna then?) I actually used xbmc on an xbox, and it has

I’ve been using ownCloud as a FreeNAS plugin for a number of years. It works quite nicely. I also have things setup such that I can use a VPN (to my house) and ownCloud will keep things in sync between my laptop and desktop. Its quite convenient. From a security perspective, I’d suggest not

I run ownCloud on a RaspberryPI. Uses a 32 GiB micro SD card in a SD to USB adapter for the ownCloud files. And just the normal 8 GiB micro SD card for the OS. Works quite nice. 32 GiB is kind of small if you're going to put you video and music library on it :-) but is is 16 times more

Up until today, when I clicked on a link from a Thunderbird email, my already running instance of Firefox would restore, and open the link in a new tab, per my Firefox preferences. Today, a new Firefox window opens, and remains behind the Thunderbird window. Has this happened to anyone else?

I run my own Fedora 23 server for file sharing, WWW, etc., but I've been tempted to install https://owncloud.org/ - it's more friendly, and seems to be marketed as a private cloud on your hardware at home... That being said, I haven't actually used it. On Fri, Mar 11, 2016 at 2:05 PM, Charles
