Just got my new NAS drives, so about to make the transition.

It’s actually new drives, and a new host. I’ve been running my old Synology NAS for years. But decided I ought to switch to a “real” NAS through Proxmox.

Just set up a simple samba container with Cockpit as a web manager, so far working really well. But I want to validate backups before I start moving all the irreplaceable data.

Something I’m excited about is using my old Synology NAS as an automatic, off-site backup once I transition. Heard about Duplicati from a friend, sounds like a great syncing solution.

Other than that I’ve been looking into using Apple HomeKit features with my Home Assistant devices. And also planning to move my hardware from the cheap Amazon floor shelf to a real 19” rack.

The circle reminded me of the “circle-A” symbol https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchist_symbolism#Circle-A

But yea could have just been Ann or Anna at first!

Interesting, hadn’t heard about the situation in SF. That’s unfortunate.

And yes… good old SB2. CA had a relatively lax CCW policy, until we became a “shall issue” state. Now there’s all this policy reform.

If the final part of SB2 kicks in, it’ll be pointless to have a CCW. The last part changes private property that’s open to the public from a default permitted carry, to a default not permitted.

So any business that wants to allow lawful CCW would need to clearly place a sign to opt-in. Which isn’t happening in this state lol.

Fortunately that last part is still being “stayed”. But so was the entire bill at one point. So I’m not holding my breath.

I totally acknowledge that we need gun control, but not restrictions. And going after CCW holders? Literally the owners with the highest level of training? Most compliant with the law? Bananas.

But anyway, I see where you’re originally coming from. It is kinda death by a thousand cuts. Slowly eroding away at gun rights. In the worst way… Criminals could care less about what’s legal, hence criminal.

As far as CCW policy, it’s my understand that cities are very aligned with the state DOJ. I’ve looked at a few policies in the past across cities, and they’re basically cookie-cutter.

As far as issuing, yea, it’s up to your local sherif.

I wasn’t aware of local-specific excise taxes for firearms. The state does have that 11% one though.

Very curious about that renter ban, haven’t heard of that one.

Not trying to be argumentative, just enjoy the nuances of CA gun laws lol

And I agree, on your sentiment. I don’t have any issues with firearm regulation, I just want it applied with common sense. The state of CA’s gun laws feel like they’re a shitty compromise. The guns right’s group fight against the “ban all guns” group, and what’s left is this. Both sides are uncompromising and take little wins here and there. But the environment it creates is weird, and doesn’t flow well. And definitely doesn’t do any favors for law abiding owners.

I’m not aware of any significant local laws in CA. Other than the SF law outlawing sales.

Which one are you referring to?

While California does have a lot more regulation around guns, I don’t think it’s necessary prohibitive. As much as the right claims it is.

We’ve got a written test, takes all of 20 minutes, not difficult if you have common sense and all the questions are online.

Then you have to demonstrate to the salesman that you can safely operate the firearm (load and unload). I’d hope someone purchasing a firearm would be capable of this.

Finally there’s the 10 day cooldown period. So you can’t walk out same day with the gun. I do think this one is kinda annoying. It totally makes sense for your first gun, but why do I have to wait every time?

The rest just comes down to model and configuration availability. Restricted to the handgun roster, but there’s still a decent amount available. Restricted to 10 round magazines, I don’t like this one either. And generally restricted to featureless shotguns and rifles.

But if you wanted to, you could go today and start the purchase of a featureless AR15-style rifle with a detachable 10 round magazine. And you’d pick it up 10 days from now. So I don’t think it’s extremely prohibitive.

I was talking with a colleague about this. They’ve had a lot of “gang culture” exposure.

Their opinion was it wasn’t a MS13 tattoo.

They said MS13 tattoos were notorious for being massive and blatant, not secretive and subtle.

They elaborated that gang tattoos are used for “repping” and need to be immediately clear who you’re repping for, otherwise it defeats the purpose of showing reputation and providing protection.

Just my $0.02

I think this is a good idea. Especially the part that allows those who can demonstrate a higher level of responsibility, complete additional safety courses and background checks, to own these banned firearms.

Bans are generally just bans for people who follow the law. So I like these exceptions for those who are willing to “extra follow the law.”

Obviously this assumes that the exceptions will actually be given, since it’s up to your local sheriffs discretion. Could be abused.

With you on that. This is a bit of a “bad example.”

And someone looking in from the outside could totally make the conclusion that “they (lemmy) are totally taking this out of context! They’re a felon!”

Like you say, there’s a menagerie of actions done by this administration that are dangerous and telling of their goals.

I agree with your sentiment.

The cartoon is clearly in extremely bad taste and dehumanizing.

However, the context that she had been previously convicted for fentanyl trafficking is important.

It’s tough though, because if we put the cartoon aside, this is technically what they should be doing. I don’t disagree with deporting felon immigrants.

But then you consider all the history of this administration that got us here… it’s really hard to agree with them.

Yea I think within the last year or so the fee was removed.

Here’s a great site to do exactly this!

Great idea! Just posted!

Here’s a not-so-fun read tangential to this guy.

Nice Chat-GPT you got there

Been curious about deploying HA with docker. As I understand the only limitation is you can’t use add-ons?

I watched the same video!

I was right about to disagree and type “wait this only applies to light” but then I remembered: radio is light.

Crazy to think about that!

Similar, but I believe the strength addition is also because it changes the directions of the Z-axis layers.

Most filament is rather strong in tension. If you imagine printing a regular cube, without rotation, it’s going to be strongest stretching or compressing the sides of the cube.

But if you pulled the cube apart from its top and bottom, the only adhesive strength is the fused connection between layer heights. Which is super weak.

By printing at an angle, the layer heights may be in a direction that doesn’t receive tensile load, making it functionally stronger.

Yup, the US only regulates “guns.” Which is the part of the assembled firearm that has the serial number. Everything else is a “gun part,” which for the most part, are not controlled.

So if you can acquire/manufacture the “gun” you can buy the rest of the “gun parts” on eBay.

I used to be heading down this path as a teenager. For me, college was the eye opener. When I broke away from my normal bubble of people, I would have my opinions and biases challenged.

I like the travel suggestion as well. Also I went to some music festivals around that time that were pretty significant to my beliefs. I guess it depends on the type of music they prefer though.
