Pretty good demonstration of the mechanics of how bumping the slide can cause the striker to drop. The guy takes the gun apart and shows which components contribute to this malfunction. Worth a watch if you're curious what's happening internally.

It seems pretty clear that there are a lot of differences between P320s in the wild, so it's hard to generalize these findings well. This guy's gun isn't stock, and I personally have not been able to reproduce this behavior on mine (which is stock). It does seem more and more that the 320 design does not tolerate non-spec parts well, which is especially weird given the design was supposed to be modular.

In case you can't watch the video, this guy was able to reproduce an accidental discharge several times by putting a tiny amount of input on the trigger and wiggling the slide. He used a screw wedged into the trigger to consistently put the trigger up to the wall so it's hard to argue human error anymore. His findings seem to indicate that if you have input on the trigger, even if it's not enough to fire, and the slide is bumped, the gun can fire (at least for his particular gun).

Hard to say how common this will wind up being since there are tens of millions of P320/M17/M18s out there. Still...more bad news for Sig, and even a one in a million chance is enough for most folks to not risk it. I have one and, while I already never considered carrying it thanks to the lack of an external safety, I'd never even risk holstering it for matches or practice now.

The evidence really seems to be pointing to a low tolerance for out-of-spec parts in the P320 design. Any gun manufacturer is going to be incentivized to cut costs over time, so that's a really bad combo.

I will not be taking questions

This might brush up against rule #5, but I don't think it crosses it. It's really more philosophy than politics.

Really great explanation of the environment and incentives that anyone in a position of power will deal with and how they remove leaders from reality. Nothing new if you're even passingly familiar with philosophy, but still a good watch.

Not sure if there's a pre-existing solution to this, so I figured I'd just ask to save myself some trouble. I'm running out of space in my Gmail account and switching email providers isn't something I'm interested in. I don't want to pay for Google Drive and I already self-host a ton of other things, so I'm wondering if there is a way to basically offload the storage for the account.

It's been like 2 decades since I set up an email server, but it's possible to have an email client download all the messages from Gmail and remove them from the server. I would like to set up a service on my servers to do that and then act as mail server for my clients. Gmail would still be the outgoing relay and the always-on remote mailbox, but emails would eventually be stored locally where I have plenty of space.

All my clients are VPN'd together with Tailscale, so the lack of external access is not an issue. I'm sure I could slap something roughshod together with Linux packages but if there's a good application for doing this out there already, I'd rather use it and save some time.

Any suggestions? I run all my other stuff in Kubernetes, so if there's one with a Helm chart already I'd prefer it. Not opposed to rolling my own image if needed though.

To preface this, I've used Linux from the CLI for the better part of 15 years. I'm a software engineer and my personal projects are almost always something that runs in a Linux VM or a Docker container somewhere, but I've always used a Mac to work on personal and professional projects. I have a Windows desktop that I use exclusively for gaming and my personal Macbook is finally giving out after about 10 years, so I'm trying out Linux Mint with Cinnamon on my desktop.

So far, it works shockingly well and I absolutely love being able to reach for a real Linux shell anytime I want, with no weird quirks from MacOS or WSL. The fact that Steam works at all on a Linux environment is still a little magical to me.

There are a couple things I really miss from MacOS and Rectangle is one of them. I've spent a couple hours searching and trying out various solutions, but none of them do the specific thing Rectangle did for me. You input something like ctrl+cmd+right and Rectangle fits your current window to the top right quadrant of your screen.

Before I dive into the weeds and make my own Cinnamon Spice, I figured I should just ask: is there an app/extension that functions like Rectangle for Linux? Here's the things I can say do not work:

• Muffin hotkeys: Muffin only supports moving tiles, not absolutely positioning them. You can kind of mimic Rectangle behavior, but only with multiple keystrokes to move the windows around on the grid.
• gTile: This is a Cinnamon Spice that I'm pretty sure has the bones of what I want in it, but the UI is the opposite of what I want.
• gSnap: Very similar to gTile, but for Gnome. The UI for it is actually quite a bit worse, IMO; you are expected to use a mouse to drag windows.
• zentile: On top of this only working for XFCE, it doesn't actually let me position windows with a keystroke

To be super clear: Rectangle is explicitly not a tiling window manager. It lets you set hotkeys to move/resize windows, it does not reflow your entire screen to a grid. There are a dozen tiling tools/window manager out there I've found and I've begun to think the Linux community has a weird preoccupation with them. Like, they're cool and all, but all I want is to move the current window to specific areas of my screen with a single keystroke. I don't need every window squished into frame at once or some weird artsy layout.
