That’s the route I took too. NAS for storage and simple docker containers, Minipc for compute/GPU.

I just got a cheap minipc to tinker with and it had windows 11. Not bad and unexpected.

First thing I did was wipe and install Ubuntu of course because that’s what I wanted.

Bitwarden/vaultwarden is a popular option for selfhosters.

If it takes a whole 60 seconds for this glorified camera-carwash contraption to scan a vehicle and generate a report, they are charging $11,400/hour.

Hertz, I will personally sit on a roller stool with a camera and make beep boop sounds for that dough. Take my resume.

Me neither. But eventually I’ll be forced to somehow too.

Really sounds like this database is based primarily on biometrics obtained during legal immigration and travel.

I wonder how it will identify those who came through illegal means? Unless that’s totally not the point. Hmmm…

While I do think CoveredCA needs a healthy (pun intended) fine, tech companies need need a serious grilling for taking this info. Not just the cost of business crap that’s handed out for getting caught.

More importantly, WE need resources to notify, find and curate or revoke data about us! Start putting that in settlement clauses; I don’t care about my $3.20 gift card left over and split from a class action win.

That’s good news! It would be great if relays made it difficult to be targeted. I last tinkered with TOR almost… Jeez!.. 20 years ago haha!

I ran a relay too way, way back in the day and I remember almost a third of the sites I used blacklisted my IP address within days. It wasn’t cool.

I ended up shutting it down, resetting my cable modem, and spoofing a new MAC address on my router to get a new IP address to get everything working again.

Using a VPN is smarter. I wouldn’t run that on IPv6 whatsoever.

Me too. I’m up to 3TB locally. Had to do that slowly though. Hit some temp bans a few times.

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.

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.

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.

I also prefer 100% natural ground insects in my food over artificial dyes.
