    Finally popped bobcat that was snatching my chickens...

    If I keep the stock 25 rd mag packed, I usually get a single failure to feed using the subsonics. I haven't fired bulk HV ammo in a couple of years, and honestly cannot remember having issues with the stock mag. I did buy some aftermarket mags, and had all sorts of issues with them, so I've...

    I've been interested in the 300blk but haven't had the time to do much research. I like the concept of a heavier subsonic round to up the kinetic force at impact. Thanks for the nudge.

    Home Assistant (HASSIO). TBH, I'm not that well versed with it. My brother helps me get it tweaked. It's running on a virtual box (vs. a Pi).

    Yes to both of them. The PTP is much easier, doesn't require tools and has a single, full length aluminum baffle. The RDS is a series of aluminum cups, but requires a spanner tool to unscrew.

    Finally popped bobcat that was snatching my chickens...

    I guy out of Ocala, FL built this one for me about 10 years ago. It's all legit - had to get a trust, do the NFA tax stamp and wait for the form 4 to come back approved - I think it took just under a year to complete the process. It's a simple design, no Nielson device, so it'll only work on...

    BTW, not a cat has been back since that last shot... Hopefully it took a dirt nap, or it has decided the price to prowl is a little too steep.

    Finally popped bobcat that was snatching my chickens...

    S&W M&P15-22. Shooting 22LR subsonic with a suppressor. Super quiet. Downside is, unless it's a head/heart shot, it won't be a clean kill. The suppressor will fit my AR-15 (.223/5.56) but the 3000+FPS round going down range is loud enough to wake my kiddos (and neighbors). Just too loud...

    I just wanted to concur that once you have it configured correctly, it is wonderful. If you're not proficient with command line stuff, it's a bit of learning curve. But it's worth the effort. I had to push through. One step I missed that caused me all kinds of grief was turning on the...

    Blue Iris UI3

    So apparently he added his PC's LAN IP address to the allowed whitelist on an older PC that was recently upgraded to new hardware. BI must cache the MAC addresses of the IP's in the whitelist. So the IP no longer matched the MAC of the new PC. He deleted it, and it started working again...

    The very next night, a bobcat came back to the same spot (video of cat at coop door shows the size). It was significantly larger than the one in videos above. So I am certain it was not the same one. Fortunately, I was able to take a shot that resulted in the same type of reaction (cat...

    I'd post it on YouTube, but the thought police would probably hunt me down (pun intended). Don't know why it plays for some and not for others...

    Thanks Brian. I've forwarded the link to your post. I'll follow up with you either way here.

    He has a nonstandard port. It's been that way for years with no issues. Both internal and external use the 8882 port. It is this way to prevent brute force attempts on standard ports. It really cuts down on attacks. Good eye... Keep in mind it is only this new client Win 10 PC that is...

    THIS is why I wanted an auto-tracking PTZ.

    I don't know how I missed that one. Was that entirely automatic or did you coax it into staying on him? You could tell that he figured out the camera was there just after putting up the mask and hoodie, and as he's walking down the street, he's contemplating what to do... proceed knowing you...

    I'm helping out my brother with his UI3. He's getting this: Oddly it's only happening when he tries to connect via the local IP address. When he logs in via the DDNS wan name for the server, it comes up just fine. It's specific to this win10 pc. Other pcs and devices on his lan have no...

    Finally popped bobcat that was snatching my chickens...

    I debated whether to post this, but figured it highlights success, so why not. This bobcat has been poaching my chickens quite successfully for over year. I've tried leg snap traps, sitting in a blind high up in a tree, but he would never show, or was too smart for the traps. Until...

    5.7.2 - March 22, 2023 - Identifying and resolving storage errors and pitfalls

    just add -0.0.0.0 to your webserver ip access list. It's under global settings, web server, advanced. A single "banned" IP fixes the issue. Ken said the next release will fix this automatically.

    5.7.2 - March 22, 2023 - Identifying and resolving storage errors and pitfalls

    Ok, for once, I figured something out before Ken. My brother's nearly identical system was able to run 2.3 w/o any remote access issues. So I had him send me a screen shot of his advanced webserver tab. They were identical to mine, except he actually had a few banned IPs (-xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)...

    5.7.2 - March 22, 2023 - Identifying and resolving storage errors and pitfalls

    Looks like I've stymied Ken... He says he has to think about a solution to the problem I'm seeing. Has something to do with the limit access by ip box. I have only admin whitelisted IPs (^LAN_IP) for my Roku TVs and HASSIO system. Nothing black listed or auto banned. He seems to think that a...
