Walkthrough of what I did to increase performance on my Synology NAS box during an expansion, and afterwards.
Performance on Synology RAIDs
(especially while expanding)
Warning: The exact commands may not match for your particular linux OS / Synology(NAS) device. I had to customize the commands after exploring my particular system's setup.
If you're new to linux, or this is a new piece of hardware / a new synology device, jump down to the section called "Inspecting a setup"

Simple guide for setting up OTG modes on the Raspberry Pi Zero
Raspberry Pi Zero OTG Mode
Simple guide for setting up OTG modes on the Raspberry Pi Zero - By Andrew Mulholland (gbaman).
The Raspberry Pi Zero (and model A and A+) support USB On The Go, given the processor is connected directly to the USB port, unlike on the B, B+ or Pi 2 B, which goes via a USB hub.
Because of this, if setup to, the Pi can act as a USB slave instead, providing virtual serial (a terminal), virtual ethernet, virtual mass storage device (pendrive) or even other virtual devices like HID, MIDI, or act as a virtual webcam!
It is important to note that, although the model A and A+ can support being a USB slave, they are missing the ID pin (is tied to ground internally) so are unable to dynamically switch between USB master/slave mode. As such, they default to USB master mode. There is no easy way to change this right now.
It is also important to note, that a USB to UART serial adapter is not needed for any of these guides, as may be documented elsewhere across the int
No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.
Note: The content in this post does not apply to using VPN for their intended purpose; that is, as a virtual private (internal) network. It only applies to using it as a glorified proxy, which is what every third-party "VPN provider" does.

There's also this article about VPN services, which is honestly better written (and has more cat pictures!) than my article.
