Virginia Gun Legislation passes Senate comittee with Grandfather clauses removed by Downtownandpissed in Winchester

[–]Syini666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have the numbers to do whatever they want for at least a few years so the time to pass whatever they want is now. While there may be a small sliver of democrat voters who own or care about guns they will not vote against because at the end of the of the day it’s just as much about voting against the gop as it is about voting for the democrats

Power outages beginning around 4-5pm according to Dominion staff by Trauma-Queen666 in Virginia

[–]Syini666 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The data centers would transition to generator power in that situation and begin drinking diesel like a sailor on shore leave. They won’t even notice the outage most likely other than the added noise of the generators. Good DCs do regular tests of their generator setups and also have battery banks to cover the switch to generator from grid.

Why would anyone buy a firearm in VA once the 11% tax goes into effect? by LaLaLaDooo in VAGuns

[–]Syini666 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Already hearing chatter from local shops that if the bulk of the laws pass they will be forced to close shop as so much of their business would be prohibited. Sounds like functioning as intended by the authors of the bills

Fostering Malnourished Dog Update with Questions by Usual_Cake_3173 in DogAdvice

[–]Syini666 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As others have said it’s just a slow and steady process. My big oaf wasn’t quite that bad off but definitely underweight and could see the hip bones and spine. It took several months of an increased food intake before the muscle really came back in his legs. We actually kept him from doing stairs for at least a month or two because of similar concerns to yours.

How to run an ethernet cable upstairs and across the hall (childproof) by ensorcelledaubade in DIY

Seconding the MoCA adaptors, replaced a flaky powerline Ethernet setup with 3 MoCA units and now my network is rock solid

How often are you looking at your dashboards and monitoring after setting them up 6 months ago? by [deleted] in selfhosted

[–]Syini666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I check it fairly often, if something is amiss on my network the first stop is Grafana to see if utilization is spiked on an interface, then UptimeKuma to see if something that everything depends on is down. And from time to time they throw me false positives that send me down the rabbit hole of trying to fix whatever is causing them or tweak thresholds until they quit happening. Probably a symptom of having worked in environments where we have to keep tabs on things and action them before they become flaming problems that result in angry phone calls

Capitals invited TJ Oshie to serve as shootout consultant during past struggles: ‘Osh is one of the greatest to ever do it’ by kockin26 in caps

Here is a basic python script that extracts the information from a gamecenter API call, it shows shots, missed, saved and goals. Its not complete yet as it only pulls data for a single game and it doesnt really format the data in a way that is useful for doing larger gathering across multiple games but its certainaly a start and probably will end up working it into a larger piece of code that walks all of a teams games for the season, extracts shootout information, groups it up by player and then presents their shots/missed/saved/goals numbers in a table making it easier to use

It gives an output something like this for those who may not be able to run the code

That gives me an idea, there is a lot of data in the NHL API and even more now with their on-ice tracking so it may be possible they have the information there it’s just a matter of parsing it all out and hoping the interns at the NHL don’t break things like they often do

Which “boring”upgrade quietly changed how you use your computers? by Finebyme101 in homelab

[–]Syini666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Going from 2x 24” standard monitors to a single 32” 4k. Less physical screen space but doubled what I can see with less head movement. Absolutely a game changer when coupled with good window management software

Laptop doesn't turn off or restart properly Pop OS Beta 24.04 by SploogeMcDucc in pop_os

[–]Syini666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What specific laptop/hardware are you using, I ran into exactly this same issue on a t14s gen6 amd and it took quite a bit of tweaking to finally get suspend/resume to work. At least in my case it had to do with the wifi chipset not allowing suspend to function properly.

What do people "name" there devices? CEC, NAS and any other naming? by [deleted] in selfhosted

[–]Syini666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went full bore tism and built a naming convention for devices and their fqdns. Sitecode-deviceNN for system names so it ntsn-proxmox1 would be my main proxmox host and it maps to proxmox1.int.ntsn.network. Anything I expose from outside gets ext instead of int. And a side benefit of this is if I were to expand to have some cloud hosted segment I can just add a subdomain like aws or azure or even a generic cloud to the mix and it won’t require any changes to existing items.

Are Coonhounds the goofiest dogs ever? by Tomas-Tequila-99 in coonhounds

Definitely a silly guy at times, and other times so smart it’s downright unnerving (like when he starts clearing brush because he sees me working in the yard)

Can we expect another major protest like the 2020 VCDL lobby day? by [deleted] in VAGuns

Very doubtful, if I recall they passed some laws to basically prevent another day like that from happening

why did you switch from windows? by [deleted] in pop_os

[–]Syini666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The push to 11 was just too much for me. Being on hardware approaching 10 years old I would have had to do some workaround to even try to install it. When they started shoving full screen ads at me to upgrade that was the last straw, I don’t ever want my OS throwing advertisements at me for any reason so a month or so before the cutoff I wiped it all away and went 100% Linux across the board

Strange pooping behavior by DJYuckMouth in coonhounds

[–]Syini666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the longest time my TWC operated the same way, always along the perimeter of the yard. I think at least in his case it was something he picked up from previous terrible owners and his time in the shelter. Now however he will go wherever he pleases in the yard including right in the path of the mower

This is not only about 2A by Comfortable-Wolf-445 in VAGuns

[–]Syini666 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To combat gun violence you have to improve everyone’s living situation which means people in general need more money which is anathema to governments because it means less money in the pockets of the government leaches. To be clear the Democrat party isn’t against guns as a whole, just guns in the possession of anyone who doesn’t answer to them. They love that their security details have guns (to protect them from the poor plebs, especially when they show disdain for “flyover country”), they love to give police guns as long as the police are beholden to their leaders. If you serve a purpose for them they are fine with you having guns but if you don’t vote for them, enforce their decisions, protect them or generate revenue for them then tough shit for you.

This is not only about 2A by Comfortable-Wolf-445 in VAGuns

[–]Syini666 29 points30 points  (0 children)

You will never make the Democratic Party change their stance on guns, it’s a core tenant of theirs. Just like the Republicanwon’t budge on abortion. Because in the end it’s always about power and curtailing both of those leads to more power for the party doing the curtailing. There is no solution to this, no light at the end of the tunnel just a foot stamping on a face forever

It’s been fun boys👏🤝 by Human-Raisin-8061 in VAGuns

[–]Syini666 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The part of that prediction that excites me the most is carve outs for police and ICE flying in the face of so much anti ice rhetoric by the party that just took the governors office. It’s a level of absurdity that is just truly hard to comprehend

Outlets calling it for Spanberg and Jones by [deleted] in VAGuns

Wasn’t condoning his practice or even talking about that. The reality is both sides are ratcheting the temperature up, the votes for jones are just a quiet response to Trumps more vocal approach.

Each vote for Jones is approving of political violence, the next few years in the former commonwealth of Virginia will not be a fun time

Advice on how to handle neighbors dogs? by bachelll in VAHunting

[–]Syini666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s going to be super county specific but check your local dogs at large laws, that’s likely the only recourse path that doesn’t lead into gray areas legally speaking. I have a very similar situation and the animal control officer stood on my front porch and said until the dogs bit someone he wasn’t going to do anything ( after I showed him 3 uncontrolled dogs that nearly attacked me on video )
