  • It’s a smaller unit for my camera setup and it’s in a cooler area. When I open the safe up it’s basically the same temp. So I’m not worried about thermal performance. At least on that front. The camera system is just for home monitoring. The main components (what you mentioned being concerned about) stay hidden too behind the closet wall in my office and the wall is an interior wall so thermally they stay pretty smooth.


  • Since the other comments seem to be less than useful ideas on things you didn’t ask about…

    I keep my NAS/Video server for my home cameras in my gun safe. Costco has a gun safe (really can be used for anything like documents too since it’s fire rated) that had power cable running to the inside. I used the same path to run a data cable and keep it all locked up in there with a monitor mounted on top and a UPS in the middle. My safe is close to my room with the idea being if someone wanted to break in I’d keep the footage. Not that anyone would, but like you seem to be asking I’m more concerned about the what if.

    The rest of the switches/routers/WAP Controller is located in my home office closet inside of one of those on-Q boxes in the wall.


  • I know a lot of good Mormon people/friends and the ones I’m around are such wonderful people. My heart hurts for them and my thoughts are with their community during this time. How sad.

    Someone reported they were in the building right after the first call and mentioned there were 4 canvasses covering people and the cops said it would grow. So I suspect this is an early count before they get to the burned section.

    Of course trans people will be here after he’s gone, but the people that elected him to office will also still be here. I’ve been saying it since before the first Trump presidency, but this is going to take a lot more work and a lot of people will need to have their opinions changed, or be forced to accept that trans people deserve to live the same happy, well meaning life the rest of us straight people enjoy (I’m saying straight now because lord knows this administration won’t stop at the T in LGBT).

    If you’ve never volunteered for politics before get out and volunteer, phone bank, email, support financially, anything you can do for the next few elections will absolutely make a difference. Use your 2nd amendment right as well. There’s no shame in arming yourself and going to the range. Connect with local friends who know how to shoot and train with firearms or reach out to SRA groups that would be willing to provide assistance. You’d be surprised, but at my local gun range (it’s in Cali for what it’s worth) is fairly diverse and very neutral to all customers. So you won’t get pushed out, just won’t feel all warm and fuzzy from them. This administration seems to be taking stances that obviously mean many minority groups, trans people included, will be under a microscope and critiqued for anything and everything. Don’t assume things will get to a point of needing to use your rights, but also don’t be afraid to prepare and exercise them.






  • Have you held a Glock? I hate the saquare shape. Especially if my hands are sweaty/clamy. While I’d like to never have to use my guns against someone in a moment of panic I know my hands would be a bit clammy and any advantage I can have to prevent that would be appreciated. Great guns otherwise.

    I personally liked the Sig P226 after holding and shooting a number of 9mm handguns.

    For CC the Smith & Wesson Bodyguard is quite nice, but I know you weren’t asking about that. Don’t also be afraid though to look at compact and micro-compact handguns if they fit you better.

    You go your whole life not getting punched in the face, then one day I punch you in the face and tell you I’m going to punch you in the face every day. Then I tell you unless you make a deal with me I’m going to punch you in the face and kick you in the balls. Now, getting kicked in the boys is not fun, but you should still be mad at me for punching you in the face in the first place.

    The tariffs only would have been higher because the same idiot that got the deal made the tariffs higher to begin with.

    The only sort of lucky part for us Americans is if it’s approved we got the better end of the deal, but ultimately we’re going to be paying higher prices for things we’re likely unable to produce. Although I get the feeling that Italian Marble and French Wines will suddenly be exempt from tariffs.

    The number of times I have to explain to people here in California that are my age that they did in fact take financial literacy, or that they were in fact taught skills like what to do during pregnancy is unfortunately too high. Tons of people like to talk about what schools need without realizing that it has it and they just didn’t pay attention.
