Cast

gollark: The issue is that I am annoyed by basically all programming languages ever and keep wanting to rewrite it.
gollark: I am, rather slowly, working on my own eternally unfinished notes application, "minoteaur". It's web-based.
gollark: DO NOT use Visual Basic.
gollark: I don't know if it allows globs. Perhaps you could make a script which thingies the playlist file and then launches VLC.
gollark: If you have an ext4/f2fs filesystem it is also possible to use their built-in encryption support but it leaks file sizes and directory structure.
