In EVE everything within 1000km is on the same “grid”. within a solar system you can only warp to known locations. That includes locations that were manually saved or celestial objects like moons and planets.

That means when someone warps to a moon, they can see anyone who warped to that moon, since they are on the same grid.

A safe spot is a location that isn’t on the same grid as a known location. You can still be scanned down by someone, but there are ways to know about it.

Edit: Its been a while and I’m no expert, so anyone feel free to correct me.

To anyone who finds EVE fascinating, but doesn’t actually want to play it themselves, I can highly recommend the “Empires of EVE” books by Andrew Groen. The two volumes span the time from beta to 2014 and talk about the wars and empires of Null Sec. The author interviewed loads of players. It’s a fascinating read.

Podcasts partner up with ad providers. They inject ads into the episodes depending on several factors, including your location. The podcast has some say and can for example exclude some topics like politics. That catches most, but an ad can also be misrepresented and slip through.

I use Antennapod as well and they have nothing to do with it. They just download episodes from RSS feeds provided from other services.

You could use a VPN server in a smaller country. If the ad market is very small, there simply might be no ads to serve you.

I can also recommend using a swiss VPN server. The funny swiss dialect makes it hilarious.

According to this discussion, you can apply your Wayland settings to SDDM from the system settings.

Edit: Although some users reporting issues with it, but worth a try.

Thank you. You just gave me a flashback to Total War: Rome campaign I played as a kid. I didn’t play long, because it got boring fast. I had exclusive horse archer armies that wiped out whole armies without losses.

IIRC TrueNAS next release will include RaidZ1 with 2 disks

As for migration, you might be able to create a degraded pool initially, copy over the data, and add the parity disk last.

I actually asked in the TrueNAS forum about this idea. According to some knowledgeable users this might work. For anyone interested, details here. The next major release (planned for end of October), should make this easier.

“Pay no attention to the next console behind the curtain! Buy our stuff!”

Maybe it’s just me, but I think entities that deliberately spread and use malware should be punished and held accountable. Too bad these entities help write the laws.

Do you have pci-e slots?

I had to decide between a M.2 enclosure and a PCIe card. Since I plan to build a new system (with more M.2 slots) I will have more slots in the future. And maybe I will not like the M.2 enclosure and return it. wink

Then you’d better install it from scratch and have a clean, shiny and new system.

You know how it is, I just got my system right. Of course lots of settings can just be duplicated, but I would prefer not to set up some systemd services, cron jobs, etc. again.

I love that I just download the app from the dedicated place, no pointless web surfing for the latest versions.

IMO this is a huge thing, Linux actually does a lot better than Windows. I know the Windows Store exists, but it is lacking in lots of ways.

That’s encouraging, 3ven though these models are out of my price range.

I’m planning to build a new system pretty soon. With Intel 13 an 14th Gen woes, AMD CPU releases and upcoming (Septmber) AM5 Motherboards, my planning is in constant flux.

The Ryzen 9000 series is releasing on the 15th. The 9600X might also be worth a look for $279 (according to AMD).

Edit: scratch that. The first reviews are out and it doesn’t look good for the new CPUs

The components are well balanced. You might want to take a look at PSU Cultists Tier List.

Maybe take a look at the Thermalright (Peerless) Assassin CPU Coolers. They are testing well and are very affordable.

Lastly, you should make sure your mainboard has everything you need (M.2 slots, RAM slots, …). Upgrading a mainboard is not that much money.

I tried ProtonVPN and got a refund, because their Linux implementation is lacking

Not participating in a disinformation war reminds me of the hesitation to allow Ukraine to strike Russian territory with the supplied weapons. What incentive does thr other side have to stop?

Repeat after me “Fines need to be tied to global revenue”. It has to hurt, if you want companies to stop.

I think it’s hilarious that western leaders are worried about provoking Russia by providing Ukraine with weaponry that can be used in Russian territory.

Russia is at war with us. It’s not tanks, fighter jets and battleships. It’s cyber warfare, disinfomation campaigns, bribing of right wing politicians and poisonings. Just because nobody wants to call it a war, doesn’t make it go away.
