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.
Absolutely 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...
Every Plex client is a little different, but there is usually a video details or "playback info" button that will give you stream info such as direct play, transcode, or transcode (HW) for hardware support.
Meta sued "to prevent them from advertising CrushAI apps on Meta platforms"
Dude, it's your platform, Meta. You decide who uses it. If someone is abusing your platform, that's a you problem. Vette your customers like Apple if need be.
... the exact same image containing nudity was removed as a normal post on Facebook but allowed when it was part of a paid ad.
There's your solution. Reassign a couple content moderators since they're on the ball. Much easier to review/ban a commercial account than individual posts anyway.
Yes 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)
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.
