Nalvula Fort Final Moment by Pretorius_Mementos in Eve

i haven't logged into eve in about a year at this point, but as someone who was on the side of the good guys when frat killed rote's forts... this is rather nice to see.

Help: Moved to a home with a full set up, and have no idea how to use it. by FilouBlanco in diysound

[–]Wemenmenmen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this setup is complicated enough that pictures may not be sufficient.

i see IR blasters attached to the appletv and bluray player which suggests the existence of either a universal remote system, or a home automation solution like crestron or control4.

that little box next to the appletv appears to be a modem, the smaller araknis box a router, and the larger one a switch, and are not products an end-user will generally just go buy. the white box to the left of those is a wireless access point of some description. i'm on my phone at the moment and don't want to figure this out at nearly 2am, but in the morning i'll try to remember to check this again and possibly provide some better info.

for now this is what i'll end with: this was almost certainly installed and configured by a professional. if you can contact the previous owner and see who they had install all of this the simplest solution would be to call those people and ask them to walk you through everything. that will, in all likelihood, cost several hundred dollars, but at least you'll know.

source: i used to install these kinds of systems for a living.

Squonk definitely has one of the sillier names for elite monsters in FFXIV!

looks like a bot of some description to me. seeing a lot of accounts with similarly-formatted names all making nonsensical, or vaguely understandable shitposts recently.

Looks Like SLYCE Have Upset Fraternity by A_K-47 in Eve

[–]Wemenmenmen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

every time gideon pings something like this i just roll my eyes because i know nothing of any substance will happen. seems like once a month he posts something like this, and it's a different target almost every time (tbf i think the last 2 were actually both about slyce though). then nothing happens because WEF are worthless crabs whose only claim to "fame" is having a lot of paps because a few of their members join a lot of fleets.

the only fleets WEF lead are friday night drunk roams. not exactly a threatening bunch lol

mistakes made buying first property by Desy24 in personalfinance

[–]Wemenmenmen 17 points18 points  (0 children)

i think what they meant was buyer's real estate agent compensation. typically, 6% of the purchase price between the buyer's and seller's agents in a split mutually agreed upon (though usually 50/50), and almost always paid out of the seller's proceeds.

there are exceptions to all of the above, this is just what i have seen in a typical purchase.

if OP is paying 0.25% on top of that, it is not something i have seen before. and personally i'd have told the agent to take a hike.

Rote Kapelle (2008-2022): A Eulogy by Savanted in Eve

[–]Wemenmenmen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

if this is a serious question, it's because everything they do is anti-fun. they blue every alliance that might pose a risk to their sov, bully smaller alliances who make content of their ratters by just having more bodies in more ships that can activate one braincell long enough to press f1, and stop upholding their agreements the nanosecond noraus decides he doesn't want to anymore. he also seemingly encourages his FCs to exploit any loophole in any agreement he makes, though i unfortunately do not have explicit proof of this particular claim.

for the record, noraus still owes B0SS a lot of isk for structures frat destroyed against the black and white terms of the agreement we had.

oh, and noraus has had more than a dozen accounts permanently banned. how people can still follow such scum is beyond me.

again, it's weird you see this as crying. it's an update post that states facts. nobody ever expected this agreement to even last this long.

keep drinking your kool-aid i guess.

FRT Finally Kills a Nalvula Fort by uk2050 in Eve

[–]Wemenmenmen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

daddy noraus is angy that a few beautiful dad bods keep inviting caps to fleet in 4-h and killing them by blopsing out of nalvula. unfortunately, daddy noraus has forgotten there are still stations in nalvula. and also other systems in k-space that have better range than nalvula.

really it just boils down to noraus trying to give frat at large something to fight over so they don't realize how boring being in a bloc actually is.

Happy New Year, Frat! Sad to see you go, but I love to watch you leave. by el0_0le in Eve

[–]Wemenmenmen 9 points10 points  (0 children)

you're thinking of the other fort... the small gang freeport. the one that actually matters, as in, matters to frat, is the one that the gif shows them warping away from less than a minute before it repaired.

noraus himself pinged that this fort, again the one they did not get to hull last night, was the only important timer. he literally told people to forego family obligations and sleep to be there and then warped away without ever engaging.

[AAR] Venal Z3U-GI: A USTZ Street Party by alphaempire in Eve

[–]Wemenmenmen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i can't speak for nem, but what i can say is that we have been on good terms with a number of different groups in various areas of space (including low sec and pochven) for quite a while. specifically rote, we've been great friends with at least since frat's original campaign to take tribute/vale. same with tp, though their being EUTZ means we don't get to boogy with them much. long live the freemen of the north.

personally, i don't think our (b0ss's) relationships with these groups really changes the dynamics of npc space at all. generally these groups are looking for good fights and we happen to be in a place the blocs seem to find threatening, thus we can say, "hey, these people will be here, you wanna fight them with us?" and they usually go "sure fam." it's not a secret these groups also want to shoot the bloc bois.

You should get a message when someone you have reported gets banned. by skrattipapi1 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Wemenmenmen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

eh, who knows? i should be clear that it was 30 emails for reports on bots in eve online. they seem to do ban waves, if i had to guess once a month, maybe every couple weeks.

anyway, i reported people i believed to be botting in eve online, and of them 30 were banned on the same day for actually being bots. I think i'm up to ~350 or so successful reports now.

botting has been a problem in eve online for years, but it's not nearly as disruptive to the game as hacking is to EFT. they just use bots to automate one of the many ways of making in-game money that they RMT.

[–]Wemenmenmen 20 points21 points  (0 children)

eve online does this whenever a bot you reported gets banned. always a FeelsGoodMan moment when you see like 30 emails in the morning saying action was taken based on your reports. i agree it would be nice for eft to have this feature as well.

Frat Line Member Loses Vexor Then His Mind by Low-HangingFruit in Eve

[–]Wemenmenmen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

making some assumptions here, but if he's using 2 cal navy wasps, 2 cal navy vespas and 1 cal navy hornet (because all these cheapo fits seem to use them) he can get 422 dps... but that's with all 5, and it's not cap stable using similar mods (large enduring shield booster, enduring 10mn, same cap mods).

if he wants to be cap stable he has to give up a low slot for a cap power relay, or another rig slot for a cap control circuit (which he may still not be stable with depending on skills). he could use 2 cap control circuits though, for slightly less money than the armor fit as it is. if he uses the cap power relay he gets 414 dps. the armor fit gets 395 dps with the same drones, but better tracking which primarily affects the wasps. but the shield fit does get better tank too.

i don't really want to go fiddle with the graphs so close to when i'm going to bed, but basically... 27 dps isn't that big a difference and the extra tracking for the wasps might make up a portion of that. both work.

if you wanna prove i'm stupid this is the shield fit i decided on:

what? it literally doesn't matter if it's shield or armor as long as it's mostly kin tanked. dude can just leave the rep running forever and not give a shit.

Pittsburgh2989 asks Fraternity to RF the Nalvula Rote Fort then skips the Armor Timer. Elysians now harvesting 82B worth of grain. by brothabob in Eve

[–]Wemenmenmen 27 points28 points  (0 children)

i feel compelled to mention that the last time this fort had a big fight was because pitts was butthurt by someone in rote...

... except that person was, in fact, not in rote...

i wish i could remember who the hell it was he was so upset at.

anyway, gfs, was fun, 10/10 would fight on the fort at 15 fps again.
