Losing a connection to your Brothers DCPL2550DW due to the deep sleep function? Here's the quick fix.…
Blue Iris, DeepStack, and Docker
Blue Iris will detect generic motion, pass it to DeepStack for further analysis, and DeepStack will let you know if there's an actual person, bike, vehicle, etc in the video that's being analyzed. Each Blue Iris camera has configurable settings around the types of DeepStack detection too.…
Reloading 40 S&W
This is just a quick time-lapse of 100 rounds of 40 S&W being reloaded. It's definitely not my favorite round to reload, but overall the shooting experience is much more tolerable with a new Glock 23 Gen 5 MOS. The same rounds out of an M&P Shield are like slapping your hand on concrete.…
