Building an IBM 3270 terminal controller
There are a lot of old IBM terminals and other hardware available on eBay. Some people are working to connect these to the modern world. A terminal like this could be used with a mainframe emulator running on a PC, or to do line commands on a Linux workstation (VT100 mode).

Custom Ruger GP100 - 7-Shot .357 Magnum (or 10mm) Belly Gun
Built by Marc Morganti, the founder, owner, & solo gunsmith at Gemini Customs:
https://gunsmagazine.com/discover/gemini-customs-ruger-gp100/
"Gemini's "normal" build usually works around an "Ultimate" barrel Marc machines from a Krieger barrel blank. I've found a 3″ barrel length to balance well with the heavier Ruger revolvers and helps aiming due to the longer sight radius. There's also a subjective feel I'll call "pointability" seeming to be more comfortable with the 3″ guns."
"My client wanted something a little different than my typical configuration with our 3″ Ultimate barrel, explained Marc. "He wanted something shorter — nearer to 2″. He fancied, as he described it, 'A 7-shot Belly Gun,'..."
"Dimensionally it's not significantly larger than a small-frame 5-shot Ruger SP101, but has 7-shot .357 magnum capacity. That's a good argument for a defensive revolver."
"Marc also cut his remarkable "V8 Hybra-port Porting" into the barrel with four ports on each side, angled "just-so.""
"Just as importantly as doing the action, Marc installs an extended-length, custom-fitted firing pin. A lighter hammer strike on a Ruger often means the need for a longer firing pin and many (most?) leave this step out. Marc also shims the hammer, hammer dog and trigger to keep things centered and running smoothly. "
"... there's a full moonclip conversion (using TK Custom 7x.357 clips) ... the chambers get finish-reamed, honed and micro-polished, charge holes get radiused and polished and the cylinder face is polished."
"Novak 3-dot Tritium Night Sights also got installed, with a double white outline rear dot and orange outline front. Nice, bold sights, easy to see in daylight or at night."

Taurus Gauchos! - Single Action
https://americanhandgunner.com/handguns/taurus-gauchos/
"... the Taurus Gaucho was aimed at the cowboy action market. ... What Taurus did was not a clone of the good old SAA; it was more of a combination of it and Ruger's New Model revolvers."
"The look is most definitely Colt SAA and so is the size. It fits perfectly in SAA holsters. The curves and contours are right. So are many of the details."
"With the old Colt the first click occurred when the hammer was pulled back into its so-called "safety notch." The Gaucho also has a click as the hammer reaches that notch but — LISTEN UP HERE — the Gaucho is not meant to be carried with the hammer resting in that notch. It is meant to be carried with the hammer fully down.
Where the Gaucho looks and behaves like a Ruger New Model is in its transfer bar system of ignition, and its various finishes. Instead of a firing pin mounted on the hammer, the Gaucho has a hammer with a series of steps. None of which will touch the frame-mounted firing pin unless the trigger is pulled. When that is done a piece of steel raises between the hammer and firing pin allowing energy to be transferred from the falling hammer to the pin. No pull on the trigger means no piece of steel raised to allow energy transfer. This means that technically the Gaucho can safely be carried with six rounds loaded, as opposed to the Colt SAA, which can only be carried truly safely with five rounds loaded and the hammer resting down on the empty sixth chamber."
"All in all the Taurus Gauchos are pretty decent single actions. They shot well, handled well, and are a combination of both traditional and modern."
Available in at least .357 Magnum & 45 Colt.

The Sixgunner: S&W's Third Model Hand Ejector - Model 1926 .44 Special
https://americanhandgunner.com/our-experts/the-third-model-hand-ejector/
"For most sixgun applications we can get by quite well with the old-time, pleasant shooting .45 Colt or .44 Special."
"This was S&W's first foray into a large frame, double action, swing-out cylinder revolver. It may have been their first attempt, but they definitely started at the top with what many would consider the finest big bore double action sixgun ever to come from the mind of man."
"The Model 1926 was offered in blue or nickel, adjustable or fixed sights, with barrel lengths of 4″, 5″ and 6-1/2″. The vast majority were chambered in .44 Special; however, a very few came out of Springfield in .44-40 and .45 Colt."

Mag-na-ported Ruger Birdshead Single-Six Vaquero .32 H&R custom revolver
Lots of little details for any single action revolver, including:
- Action tuned & timed, with a creep-free trigger job breaking right at 2.5 lbs
- Shortened the 4 5/8″ barrel down to 3 1/2″ - Mag-na-port barrel
- Trimmed the ejector-rod housing and base-pin knob
- Milled a small fingernail notch to make base pin removal easier
- Milled dovetail for the Garza front sight
- The trigger and hammer were given the Mag-na-port trademarked high-polish jeweling

DIY MINI 12V UPS FOR ROUTERS
Homemade mini 12v UPS for router due to power shortage problem. I made a small 12V UPS for all internet routers. It gives 6+ hours backup in this mini UPS. I use 18650 batteries which are salvaged from old laptop batteries. This mini UPS can also be used for other purposes such as DC fan DC lights or any gadgets which use a 12V power source.

Police Departments are Encrypting Radio Communication
More Police Departments are Encrypting Radio Communication:
"There are two types of encryption:
* Tactical: communication channels involving drug enforcement, gang enforcement, stakeout, or SWAT
* Full: all radio communication encrypted so no one can hear the day-to-day communication
Citizens with police scanners or scanner mobile apps could usually listen to two-way radio communications to hear the activity of their local law enforcement agency. With encryption becoming the norm, citizens are feeling out of the loop."
"The reason that police officers give for the encrypted radio waves lies in the idea of safety. Their main point is that criminals monitor police scanners so that they can pinpoint the officer's location, thus avoiding an arrest. Without public access, the police have a greater chance of apprehending a criminal."
"34 states already have some type of full police encryption. While the majority of police scanners will be silent for the public, fire, EMS, and other public safety organizations will still have open communication."
Encrypted Police Scanners Are Gaining Popularity Among Law Enforcement. What Does That Mean for Us?
As communities try to listen in on local police departments, some find theirs have turned to encrypted communications.
"But police departments and emergency communications directors who push for encryption have argued that publicly listenable airwaves make it easier for criminals to evade law enforcement, and also endanger officers."
"Some opt toward open channels over concerns that encryption might make cross-department or cross-agency communication more difficult. Joe Casey, of the Office of Emergency Management and Communications, in Chicago, told Built In via email that the agency is "on schedule with a plan to secure public safety radio channels," but will nonetheless keep some frequencies unencrypted to allow outside agencies to communicate with the Chicago Police Department."
""There are legitimate privacy and safety concerns behind the decision to encrypt police communications, but that in and of itself does not give police departments carte blanche to encrypt all communication," Gabriel Kahn, a professor at the University of Southern California's Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism, told the Santa Monica Daily Press in February. Police should be required to bring forth "quantifiable evidence" that their concerns are not merely hypothetical, while also being willing to revisit encryption decisions and take other transparency measures, he said."
"It certainly removes a level of transparency that's been inherent in public safety in the United States for 75 years."

* Wireshark is a free network sniffing tool that's used to detect malicious activity in network traffic. This tool can also be used to detect open ports.
* Angry IP scanner is a free network scanner offering a suite of network monitoring tools.
* NetCat is a free port scanning tool that uses the TCP/IP protocol across different connections.
* Advanced IP scanner is a windows solution that can analyze IP addresses and ports.
Being Armed: It’s Most Important Part of Being Armed
"The common factor in each of these incidents is that not a single shot was fired. When you study news reports and videos, as I do, it is interesting how many times the mere presence of a gun is all that it takes to discourage criminal activity. Crooks simply don't like it when it looks like the odds are anywhere near even."

A 40 S&W AR-15 can be built on a 9mm lower. Barrels are a bit difficult to locate - here are a few sources:

How to remove 2022 Sienna middle row seats
From FB:
Toyota Sienna Owners Club
I've been a Toyota Sienna owner ever since ... 2003. ... My daughter and son-in-law were interested in buying my 2017 Sienna with 70,000 miles so I happily sold it to them ... I bought this 2023 Sienna LE plus sight unseen as our dealership did not have any in inventory. ... there are quite a few changes (and not for the better) since the 2017.
- First, I'm not getting near the gas mileage on this hybrid version as what Toyota suggests
- They've eliminated a number of storage compartments in the rear cargo/passenger area,
- removed one of the dual glove compartments
- eliminated the rear clothes hooks
- changed up the center console between the front seats creating more bulk with less storage
- made the middle row of seats not removable.
These middle seats also have airbags so if you are planning to take seats out, you'll need to order two little airbag simulator plugs to insert in the cables where the two seats were. This will cancel out the airbag failure warning indicators on your dashboard.
Be sure and follow the instructions in this video to disconnect the airbags and remove the seats.
Spot hidden surveillance cameras in your Airbnb, VRBO, and rental
With the room dark, use a flashlight to see the reflection off of lenses. More tips in article:
