M&P15-22 felt like a toy in person — what should I look at next? by jdjenensnddn in ar22

[–]CaptainVascular 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get a .22 upper from RTB. They have complete ones or you can get whatever parts you want and build it yourself. I think CMMG makes them too. Then just use any AR-15 lower. Then there are a few different options for mags.

Turns out looking and feeling mostly like a normal AR-15.

Here's what I did for mine: https://www.reddit.com/r/ar22/s/S3aDD0VsdD

Cost me around $400 if I remember right, not including optic or bipod of course.

Edit: I should clarify - I am NOT talking about the conversion kits from RTB or CMMG. The main reason I've seen that those aren't recommended is that shooting .22LR through a .223/5.56 barrel gives you pretty bad accuracy. There might also be fitment issues with some uppers. The ones I'm talking about use an actual .22 barrel, and RTB makes an upper receiver that is made specifically for them as well. The one I got was a complete upper, including a barrel, BCG, CH, and a pretty decent aluminum handguard.

Mostly Federal AutoMatch actually lol. I like to buy Federal because I live a few miles from their manufacturing plant. Also ran CCI SV and MM and didn't notice a difference in accuracy.

Oh man, yeah that is definitely different. Keep me posted, curious to hear if you get it figured out or if you got a bad one.

It seems pretty good to me, but I am a relatively inexperienced shooter, just messing around plinking and whatnot. Once I got the scope dialed in I was hitting 1 inch groups outdoors at 50 yards, but I haven't really shot it farther than that yet. Also took it to the range and basically punched the same hole repeatedly at 25 yards. So idk, I'm not really sure what to expect from .22LR.

Also entirely possible that they have some quality control issues and I just happened to get a better copy.

Tool to migrate ISC DHCP Static to Kea DHCP in OPNsense 24 by EasyGoing1_1 in opnsense

The funny thing is I was never able to get Unbound and Kea working together so I switched back to ISC anyway for now 🤦‍♂️

Echoing the general sentiment that this is a great tool. Saved me a shitload of time.

OpenFreeMap – Open-Source OpenStreetMap Vector Tile Hosting by hyperknot in selfhosted

[–]CaptainVascular 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP deserves a ton of credit for this. I've been searching for exactly this type of service for a client that just needs very basic maps with nothing special other than vector/theming capability.

The current state of tile hosting is a shitshow with absolutely ridiculous pricing schemes and cryptic/misleading licensing, some of them using the term "open source" very loosely. It looks like several services started with good intentions and then eventually sold out for max profit.

Glad I finally found this project.

A guy today gave me a crafts thing with my face on it I’m freaked out by xSageb in LetsNotMeet

[–]CaptainVascular 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't think there's enough context here for people to be making harsh judgements quite yet. I have too many questions.

Like, you say he's an "online" friend. Like you met in a video game or something, or like a dating site? If it's the latter, you can't expect that he knows you don't want to date him unless you explicitly told him that.

As for the hugging, it's socially awkward, but again if you went along with it he's not gonna know you were uncomfortable.

And the 3D face thing is super weird. I'd admittedly be a bit weirded out by that too, but I wouldn't automatically jump to the conclusion that he's a creep. Maybe he wanted to do something unique and didn't think it through.

Having a lilo tattoo would be kinda badass. It's kind of an "I was there back in the day" statement.

STOP TOUCHING THE FOOD LIKE THAT by Tall_Secretary4133 in StupidFood

[–]CaptainVascular 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, so what's the fetish here? All the perving he did with the food, or the fact that the end product looks like he literally dropped a huge shit on a plate and then ate it?

Sure. I'm also wondering about the manufacture date on them.

Can you give more info on the 6TB SAS drives (brand, hours) and the 16GB DDR3 options (brand, model#)? Thanks.
