The patent troll you’re referring to is SCUD (fuck those guys and fuck their owners, Corsair).
Thankfully, Valve won the appeal in their lawsuit a few years back and the patent is no longer valid. Unfortunately, the damage was already done
- Comment on i enjoy high fructose corn syrup too 1 week ago:
It also raises levels of LDL cholesterol, which increases the risk of cardiovascular disease.
This is completely ignoring that there’s multiple varieties of LDL cholesterol, some of which are benign. And basic blood draws don’t differentiate them, you need more detailed blood tests.
They are also low in dietary fiber, possibly causing constipation.
Dietary fiber is not an essential nutrient. Not only that, when I went carnivore for 2 months, after the first week of acclimation I was more regular than I have ever been in my life.
A carnivore diet high in red meat increases the risks of colon cancer and gout.
The study referenced is an epidiological study based on surveys of people that were asked to recall what they’ve eaten for the past 30 years. This resulted in clearly erroneous data where average daily calory intake was wildly off from average human requirements.
And you’re not supposed to draw conclusions from epidemiological studies with results lower than a 100% risk increase (aka doubling risk). The result of this study was 18%.
At best, this study should have been used to propose a more focussed double-blind study on the subject. But they didn’t. The WHO should be ashamed for platforming this trash study as if it’s 6-sigma physics results
The high protein intake of a carnivore diet can lead to impaired kidney function
The amount of protein that you’d need to eat to make this a problem is far beyond what a normal human could eat in a day. You’d die from rabbit starvation before it’d get that far. This study is like the one rat study claiming that asperthame causes cancer, but they were giving the rats 1000x the dose a normal human would consume if you corrected for body weight.

With a cloud-based solution you still have the issue of who owns what, plus the logistics of shuffling around data if things go tits up. In addition, we already don’t want to pay $10/month for 6 months to run a game server that’s only used for 1 month

Or implying that their behavior reflects poorly on the entire blahaj community
That user is a different person from the first one that responded.
The blahaj user’s only contribution to the conversation was that snarky comment, and I brought it up because I’ve noticed a few users from that instance do that this past week, and not just to me. Like I said, I expect that behavior from hexbear, as blahaj users are usually nice to interact with

This is huge Bro energy with little understanding of AI and they are fully on the hype train.
Aparently one of the companies that made the purchase is owned by Jared Kushner. You’re probably spot on with that assessment

You can front any three un-clustered nodes with a load balancer to the same effect
Good to hear. Are there specific example you could point me to? I’d like to learn more
- Comment on How to set up a decentralized game/chat server 1 week ago:
I do find it a little odd that you’re so concerned about uptime with a casual gaming server, but to each their own.
Personally, part of it is that I don’t want everything to be solely dependent on a box I own. I don’t like the idea of lording a petty fiefdom over my friends. If there’s multiple distributed boxes that are technically equal, then there’s less potential for interpersonal friction.
Also, while I have the more powerful server, I also have very little free time. If my box stops working for whatever reason, I don’t want my friends to have to wait 1-2 weeks for me to fix it
- Comment on How to set up a decentralized game/chat server 1 week ago:
100% uptime is really not feasible so forget that. Even the commercial servers have downtimes.
What I was thinking of doing was having 2-3 separate boxes distributed between houses and could automatically switch which boxes handles resources when 1 goes down. No individual box would have 100% uptime, but you’d have minimal disruptions when any particular box has issues or needs maintenance.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like kubernetes works that way, and I don’t know of any software that would. Best bet now is probably to distribute backups between the boxes and manually spin up a secondary box when the primary goes down
- Comment on How to set up a decentralized game/chat server 1 week ago:
But you could have a setup where one server hosts the game and syncs the game state with the other servers in the network, and if one server fails the network decides which failover server to connect to, all the clients connect to that server and continue playing on the new host.
This is kinda what I was hoping that kubernetes did. It’d be awesome if there was some software that automatically did the hand-off, but I haven’t heard of one either
- Comment on How to set up a decentralized game/chat server 1 week ago:
Going through some of the more detailed responses, yeah this is probably the best bet, and it’ll most likely be my server that’s the primary. I’ve got a Jellyfin server / NAS with an Intel 12700k, and I could either simply add a docker container or dedicate resources via Proxmox.
Meanehile one of my friend is experimenting with an old $50 desktop with a 3rd gen i3. It’s… a decision, but he’s got more free time than I do

You wrote a post with a title that their comment helps with,
Post titles just aren’t great at detailing the real issue when you need to provide context. It’s frustrating whem someone doesn’t actually read the body of the post, because then the comments can be filled up with people answering the wrong question. Then someone that can actually answer the question might skip the post because there’s already a bunch of comments under it.
If you’re going to help, it’s better to actually read through the provided context. Otherwise it’s more likely to just end up being self-gratification.
It’s kinda like the people who give up right-of-way at stop signs. Sure, it makes that person feel better about themselves, but the confusion just leads to everyone at the stop taking longer to get through the intersection.
- Comment on How to set up a decentralized game/chat server 1 week ago:
Thank you for the detailed explanation
It sounds like my friends and I are better off just having 1 primary server running everything, and pushing backups to 1 or 2 other servers that can be spun up if/when things go wrong with the primary server.

Read the rest of my post, asshole. I was asking about server cluster software
- Comment on How to set up a decentralized game/chat server 1 week ago:
The game has to be made for it
Just for clarity, do you mean the game has to be made for self-hosted servers, or do you mean it has to be made to handle self-hosted servers across a cluster?
The former is already a thing with Minecraft, 7 Days to Die, etc. The latter… Yeah I’d have to do digging on that

Keeping it all one one LAN would defeat the point. I’m looking at avoiding downtime from internet and power outages, which would require separate locations
- Comment on How to set up a decentralized game/chat server 1 week ago:
And 4x chance of some of the hardware failing and someone needs to fix it. Unless I’m mistaken about how Kubernetes works.
I’m pretty sure half the point of kubernetes is to have the server automatically reroute traffic when one node goes down

I’d rent one (small) VPS for $10 a month and split the bill.
We don’t want to pay for a VPS. We’ve been burned by that too often in the past were you go months paying for a minecraft server that noone is using after the first month

The problem is that Steam Game Mode has spotty support for Nvidia GPU’s, hence why I recommended against booting into it directly

Exasperated Sigh
I understand the frustration, but this isn’t helpful.
- Comment on SteamOS on my gaming PC? 2 weeks ago:
I have good news and bad news.
Bad news is that Steam OS doesn’t work well with Nvidia GPU’s due to how optimized it currently is for handheld APU’s
Good news is that Bazzite is effectively the same OS and has an install option that includes Nvidia GPU drivers.
If you’re up for installing Bazzite, I recommend picking the dropdown to not boot into Steam Gaming Mode. Every other choice should be rather straightforward. After that, make a bootable flashdrive and put the installer on there.
As for your GOG games, like others said you can use Heroic Games Launcher to run them, alongside games from EGS, EA, Itch.io, etc.
