Games@lemmy.world•(EVE Online, OC) If you understand even 1% of this video, it may be time to touch some grassEnglish
12·2 years agoIn 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.

18·2 years agoTo 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.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Why do podcasts have preroll ads now?
6·2 years agoPodcasts 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.

Linux@lemmy.ml•On a dual monitor setup, how to set which display is the default for the Logon prompt in SDDM ?
2·2 years agoAccording 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.
The only time I had sync problems was when I was connected to a VPN. Do you use one by chance?

Games@lemmy.world•Horse archers ruin every game they are in.English
6·2 years agoThank 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.

Games@sh.itjust.works•GOG: When we said we let you ‘own’ your games, we meant that no matter what happens you’ll still be able to play them thanks to our offline installers.English
162·2 years agoThanks for saying this.
With recent campaigns and rants against digital media, people often claim that “you own the game if you buy a physical copy”. That always makes me sigh, because it’s false.
Not saying there are some advantages for some use cases, but I dislike hyperbole and untruths.
I know with Hartensteins departure and Robinsons injury woes the 5 spot was an issue, but I’m not sure I like Towns for them. I’m not sure he can bring the toughness and mentality the team showed.
Randle felt like a weird foreign object after this season, bit I will miss Donte. The Villanova 4 didn’t last long.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Switching from a Media Drive to my first self-build NASEnglish
2·2 years agoAs 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.

13·2 years agoAMD recently launched their 9000 series CPUs. Most reviews showed lackluster performance. Except for Linux. Turns out it was a Windows problem that will be fixed with the next release. Initial tests show big gains depending on the game.
Microsoft is selling Windows as the gaming platform. It’s just marketing. And it’s crumbling just a little bit. I hope this will at least lead to parity with Linux.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Replacing M.2 system drive (btrfs) on motherboard with single slotEnglish
1·2 years agoDo 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

4·2 years agoThen 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 play Hardspace Shipbreaker when I want to relax.
You are a worker in a spacedock and dismantle ships with a cutting and grappling tool and divide the components into resource bins. It has a chill soundtrack and it’s fun to float around with thrusters and figure out how to separate the different parts.
