Apache server. I know it is not a hip choice, but I've used it for more than 15 years to serve static and dynamic websites. I've changed tech stacks from perl to php to python used different data bases and Apache always just worked.
Windows: "Everything" (that's the name). A lightweight, fast and advanced (if you want it) file search engine. Linux: Most tools of course, as they are made with the Unix philosophy, but these days I'm most surprised by print drivers for Linux. Where in Windows the printer is always magically offline or slow, from Linux I can print and scan very reliably. Vim is also worth learning, it makes editing much more... rela…
Does anyone know how everything work? Does it hook into the NTFS filesystem with special apis? The indexing is insanely fast. I wonder how they make it happen.

From the systems/operations side of things.. Ganeti: rock solid clustered virtualization suite. OpenBSD: no fuzz server/router distro. Ceph: clustered network storage without tears. Varnish: covers any HTTP needs. Add haproxy or nginx for HTTPS. Corosync/Pacemaker: Designed for reliability. Leave VRRP where it belongs (I'm looking at you keepalived). xCAT: Little-known but widely used datacenter lifecycle management…
I just set up a floating IP address for the first time today and went with keepalived. Why would you recommend Corosync/Pacemaker over keepalived?

On my low end machine VLC struggles with H265, where KMP doesn't. (But I still strongly prefer VLC for everything else.)
Have you tried MPC-HC? I haven't put it up to the test with KMP, but I do know it beats VLC for H265 playback.

I'd be pretty surprised if there was a major difference between them. Maybe some bugs in the rendering path, or one player isn't doing threads properly?

I switched to SMPlayer because of the integration with OpenSubtitles. http://smplayer.sourceforge.net/
In case you didn't know, there's an option in VLC to download subtitles based on the hash of the video.
git is so reliable that I forget that reliability used to be a problem in version control (I've had to reconstruct CVS and Subversion repositories that got corrupted via various bugs and quirks of the system). It's also pretty fast. SQLite is an automatic, and easy, answer. It almost goes without saying at this point, I guess. vim is everywhere. I like knowing I can always run it no matter where I am or what server/V…
I've had a heap of issues with not receiving notifications for emails that were miscategorised.. or just never popped up on my phone... I check gmail on my desktop every few days just to see if I missed something.

Sublime Text Files auto save, so a crash, or even accidental close will not cause you to lose anything. Also handles massive files, which is nice. On top of being a nice, very configurable code editor,
I like sublime text too. but the most recent update seems to have an issue. sometimes when opening a file on linux, I won't see any content rendered unless I resize the sublime text window.

"Doesn't matter what filetype it is...it just runs them all, instantly, like magic." Does it play DVD ISO files ? Can you use the menus, etc. ? Just curious ... XBMC back in 2004 could do this (navigate and use DVD menus in a DVD ISO) but then that feature actually went away in the following years, never to return ...
The question you should be asking is, "does it properly ignore DVD menus?"
When I play some bought DVDs with VLC the DRM stops the DVD getting to the menu stage (on Linux especially) and I need the menu to change the language for my children who don't always want English[1]. Skipping the menu doesn't let me change the language, and not using the skip-menu option means the DVD won't play. Disney are not alone in this, but are the guilty party that comes to mind.
1. Even better when the nordic regional edition of a film has something crazy like Finnish as the default language, and English isn't there at all, but my children want the voices in Norwegian. So skipping menus goes straight to the film in language that doesn't even make sense to Finns. Thanks DVD producers, there isn't enough frustration in my life but with your help and my money we're reaching levels close to 100%.
