Best way to get videos to nas from pc
Hey guys! So I have a simple dilemma. The computer i use for video/movies is on a vpn. Sometimes I want to move those videos to my nas.
Now I am just using the mulvad program on the local pc (linux). I dont have it installed on my router (and im not sure if I will yet, since with slowdowns and some sites and applications not working on a VPN, I dont really need it network wide at this point)
But my problem is, my nas isn't accessible from the pc, unless I shut off the VPN, which I dont want to do when in the middle of a big download. Also, it would be nice sometimes to download right to my nas so I dont need to move files.
Is there a somewhat easy solution? Im decently savvy but networking still confuses me sometimes.

I think tailscale would fit your use case perfectly.
You can install tailscale on your computer and your NAS. This way, there is a tunnel between your computer and your NAS. In practice you will have a separate IP address for your NAS that you can use from your computer.
It also means that you will have secure access to your NAS from wherever in the world as long as you have internet access.
Then, Mullvad and tailscale are integrated together. It means that from tailscale you get the Mullvad add-on that allows you to use Mullvad as exit-point. Meaning that all your traffic that is not in your tailscale network will go through Mullvad (so in your case everything except your NAS)
It's been two years that I am using that and it's working great for me.

Kagi has quickly grown into something of a household name within tech circles. From Hacker News and Lobsters to Reddit, the search provider seems to attract near-universal praise. Whenever the topic of search engines comes up, there’s an almost ritual rush to be the first to recommend Kagi, often followed by a chorus of replies echoing the endorsement.

Letter.
My understanding from recent reporting is that Gmail’s spam filters routinely block
messages from reaching consumers when those messages come from Republican senders but fail
to block similar messages sent by Democrats. Indeed, according to recent reporting, Alphabet
has “been caught this summer flagging Republican fundraising emails as ‘dangerous’ spam—
keeping them from hitting Gmail users’ inboxes—while leaving similar solicitations from
Democrats untouched….” Likewise, commenters on the FTC’s request for information
regarding Technology Platform Censorship have complained that Google is using a partisan approach in administering its spam filters. And finally, as you know, similar concerns have
resulted in ongoing litigation against Google in other settings.

Dear diary, no one on Lemmy appreciate my headline masterpiece
I was expecting at least to win one Oscars award for that great headline.
😂
But for real, Lemmy need more comments.
If you tried using Lemmy while hiding upvotes and downvotes, you start to feel the real absence of comments.
Will this problem ever get solved or is it a inherent problem with the fediverse in general?
I downvoted because the title close enough to a normal slop article about how LLM helps that I missed the reversal of user and LLM. Since my brain read it the slop way, it flew over my head.
I think you ran into the brain rearranging words that are duplicated on different lines or out of order thing. At least with me that was the case.
That is actually a unique perspective, I didn't consider.
It might be what happened with most of the people who read the headline.
