It seems a bit like Juicero - maybe investors are trying to find a corner of market based on food subscriptions.

Chrome won't autoplay videos having audio. Unless you've already interacted with the site.

https://ourincrediblejourney.tumblr.com/ is a goldmine of bad examples.

I don't think there are so many ads on Youtube that it's enough of an annoyance to subscribe.

Not an answer, but people who are using Mint; is there an official upgrade path between releases yet? How do you upgrade?

All Mint point releases (17, 17.1, 17.2) are going to use Ubuntu 14.04 as a base. That means upgrading Mint 17 is low risk task until Mint 18 is released in 2016 (based on Ubuntu 16.04).

Also expect Mint Debian Edition based on Debian 8.0 (Jessie) to be released later this year. Currently the Debian edition of Mint is rolling release but the developers have agreed that starting with Jessie, they will use only stable releases to base their version on.

I think this is the missing link:

Love that last bullet.

Being in Australia, I consider any claim by Rupert that someone else is damaging the public discourse even remotely as much as him to be utterly ludicrous.

Yesterday was just another example of that. I'd qualify which yesterday, but it really applies to all of them.

I'm using Xymon ( example: https://www.xymon.com/servers/servers.html ). I found it didn't take much work to add a client to the monitor and the default set of reports was enough.

There's supposed to be an OSX client, but I haven't used it.

One day I got a cheap-ish NAS then used beets [1] to organise and copy all the music on my computer to it, listening to it with Banshee[2] over the network.

Then I got Spotify and don't bother much with it anymore...

I really like this setup, I think I'll go with it. Thanks!
