I've seen them being used, eg. the /standup command in hipchat, but not a huge fan. Obviously Skype or similar for remote teams.

TBH I always think of standups as being as informal and brief as possible, and physical interaction promotes better comms within the team.

If it's causing real problems, why not suggest a low-tech solution like keeping notes?

What's wrong with ORMs? I tend to use Dapper. I've found that it can solve most of my problems, and it's easy to drop back to raw SQL as needed for the last 5% that need finer control. It's also super easy to extend and customize based on my requirements, and it's almost as fast as raw SQL.

It really comes down to preference, tooling, and coding standards.

Personally, I use tabs.

I use https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/ on recommendation from a colleague, and I'm pretty happy. No logs, plenty servers, no real issues, and they recently shut down their Russian server due to imminent privacy concerns. So I feel that they have their priorities straight.

I used https://www.frootvpn.com/ briefly when it was free - seemed ok too, but not many servers back then.

Depends really what you want to use it for, but you could look into something like https://www.zerotier.com/ or even hosting your own.
