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.

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.

Thanks 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.

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.

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.

Ugh. I kind of wish you would just go gracefully into the background Peter.

He passed gracefully 2 or 3 "games" ago. The quotation marks, because they were basically abandoned for a new gimmick, without delivering.

I've been using Plasma 6 and Wayland since Plasma 6 was stable. IMO, you shouldn't have any issues using Wayland in todays landscape.

It has gotten a LOT better, but there are still niche cases.

I have a TV hooked up via HDMI and can only output 4K30Hz on Wayland and my system starts chugging. With X11 I can do 60Hz no problem.

I will need to take a hard look if I will go for Nvidia or AMD when I build a new system in a few weeks/months.

A new PC upgrade is on my list after building a NAS and I have almost the same parts on my list, just as regular ATX. Maybe look for a good deal on a WD Black SN850X as a small upgrade over the Crucial NVME.

I will be going for the same cooler as well, since I don't see the value in an AIO solution for non high-end CPU. The downsides outweigh the superior cooling at that wattage IMO.
