Maybe we’re just using VPN’s differently than you’d expect. For example, I use Blokada, a local VPN for reducing ad/tracking services embedded in apps. I don’t actually send my traffic to a remote server.

I can get it to work if I whitelist the android auto app from my VPN.
30·3 days agoAbsolutely no good will come of this psyops group targeting Americans.
This isn’t a genie that can return to a bottle. This is everything Snowden warned the world about, supercharged and networked and only available to the administration currently in charge.
For me, wireless. Wired still worked through VPN.
I just ran into this too. Had to whitelist the app. Felt dirty and probably is…
9·4 days agoYes and no. A 14.9db increase of 85db background noise is big, while a 14.9db increase of 40db background noise certainly is not.
Decibels is logarithmic and there is little information in this study about environmental ambiance.
One graph starts at 40db, which indicates data was collected at roughly the noise level of a refrigerator. A casual conversation would roughly qualify as “noise.”
I just did something sort of like what you are doing and after a few hiccups, it’s working great. My Synology just couldn’t handle transcoding with docker containers running in the background.
Couple differences from your plan: I chose a N100 over the N150 because it used less power and I wasn’t loading up CPU dependent tasks on the thing. The N150 is about 30% faster if memory serves, but draws more power. Second, do you really need a second m.2 SSD BTRFS volume? Your Synology is perfectly capable of being the file storage. I’d personally spend the money you’d save buying a smaller N150 device on a tasty drive to expand the existing capacity then start a second pool from scratch.
Finally, I wouldn’t worry about converting media unless you are seriously pinched for space. Every time you do, you lose quality.
My city spends $150 million annually on this stuff.
I also prefer 100% natural ground insects in my food over artificial dyes.
(Just teasing for funsies)
If I understand this study correctly, this is an increase of 11-14 bike commuters per mile of bike lane with a population density of 2,750 a square mile.
My city has 400 miles of bike lanes, therefore we should see an uptick in 5,600 riders?
I’m not sure how this study anticipates other factors limiting utilization such as economic status, weather, or city population size/density but it stands to reason that while a few more bike commuters can be coaxed out of hiding, there are very likely diminishing returns for investment costs and with 2 data points, the projected trajectory is not as linear as the study implies.
Since downloading copyright material is legal for training apparently, I’d be glad to help train a privacy respecting distributed LLM. 😉
/s of course. But you have a very interesting idea!
Ditto to your comment except power usage. I moved my Plex/Jellyfin (and hopefully Immich soon) docker containers to an N100 for the hardware acceleration. TDP is 6 watts on some of these devices and CPU use sits around 2% unless Plex is doing DB optimizations (about 60% for a bit). I haven’t measured consumption or my older server, but I feel moving some CPU intensive services to hardware GPU is saving a few watts.
That happens here too. I walked from 3rd grade until graduating High School. Rain or shine.
I remember getting a spiffy red bike in middle school because the new school was miles away. It was sweet. Except I kept forgetting/losing the combination to my lock. I felt a little grown up when I got a lock with a key. Ha!
As for the article, that’s horrible. Part of driving is being alert and responsible for the unexpected. Arresting the parents is straight up fucked.

We used FM transmitters for those guys back in the day. Plug it in the headphone port and tune the stations.
Fun fact: A skilled linesman can use their tongue to tell the difference between 9V DC and 115kV AC.
The more you know*
3·17 days agoThis conversation just got Quasimodo-esque for a number of readers real fast.
Cyclists aren’t mentioned or involved whatsoever in this article.
A bus appears to have rear ended 2 vehicles, pushing at least one onto a sidewalk. Minor injuries, full recoveries expected.
Did I read that right? The city just dropped $4,250 each on, what looks similar to Amazon results, $300 - $500 e-bikes?
I’m saying split tunnel is very similar to a whitelist and is available to some VPN’s. A split tunnel would also bypass the VPN.
Also, while Android auto is a system app now, it is also identifiable by my VPN software and able to be whitelisted.
