    My mother, 84 years old, has a Ring doorbell camera and a Wyze spotlight camera. I would like to ditch the Wyze and replace it with a comparable Ring spotlight camera.

    We have an inbound VPN and I recently bought a subscription to PIA for an outbound VPN. I wanted most traffic to use the outbound PIA VPN but when I configured that, my inbound VPN would not resolve, obviously, to the PIA IP address. I configured our UDM Pro to use the PIA outbound VPN. We...

    In 39 years, my concealed carry pistol has “gone” off…

    Zero times. My mom, who is a woke liberal tried to defend Alec Baldwin by parroting the MSM talking point that the gun just went off. I am retired law enforcement, which my mom knows, and my simple response was that above…that I have never had a gun go off in 39 years. She was speechless.
