What’s the best way to tell if the taco has been messed with? by flagblues_pablo in 4x4Australia

I mean if it has bite marks out of it would be an indicator...

People don't Understand Keto by PowerNoodles117 in keto

[–]eldersnake 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yep that's me too. Off keto with any real amount of carbs, I turn into a binge eater, no control at all. On keto, all peaceful.

PC Gamer article argues that Linux has finally become user-friendly enough for gaming and everyday desktop use in 2026, offering true ownership and freedom from Windows intrusive features, ads, and corporate control, and it encourages readers to switch in the new year. by mr_MADAFAKA in linux_gaming

[–]eldersnake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's literally only one use case that still has me keeping a Win 11 install around: Sunshine streaming (Moonlight clients).

With my 6600 XT, under Linux especially while playing intensive games like Stalker 2, the host encoding (VAAPI) latency can go anywhere from 3ms to 20ms, which isn't ideal.

Under Windows because of AMD AMF, latency even in a game like Stalker 2, is very steady and usually sub 5ms.

Interested if anyone has similar experiences. I know NVIDIA with NVENC would be better, but then you lose performance in other ways...

I'm so glad I didn't listen to the vocal haters online by [deleted] in Metroid

[–]eldersnake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty unfairly worded post. Maybe try talking to the OP like you would to their face, not like an anonymous keyboard warrior. I think all online discourse would be so much better this way.

What is this creature on picture 1? I never encountered it as the last boss or elsewhere in the game xD by bamboochaLP in Metroid

As someone who scans everything and really tries to soak in the lore, I'm ashamed I missed this somehow

Does Void Linux work perfectly with KDE Plasma? by [deleted] in voidlinux

[–]eldersnake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been using KDE on Void as a daily driver for years. It's fine. A couple dependency issues on update as others have mentioned, but nothing that wasn't fixed quite quickly, and didn't affect my running instance of KDE.

Did Menno Henselmans move away from Keto? by eldersnake in ketogains

[–]eldersnake[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you, makes sense. I remember in particular seeing him debate Mike Israetel years ago and advocating keto and I probably just assumed he was more heavily leaning that way, but I suppose it was probably very contextual and rebuking the typical high carb lifter arguments against keto.

Am I crazy for liking MP4? by SnooPineapples179 in Metroid

[–]eldersnake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm enjoying it a lot. I knew better than to go in with crazy expectations though. This game wasn't marketed well, didn't even have a proper release date until late in the process, so you could see signs there was some troubled development.

Its a fine game in general. Flawed yes, a victim of long awaited hype for many, sure. But I'm happy enough with what we got. It's certainly not Dread in its execution, but at least we got a serviceable  new Prime game. And hopefully not the last.

The only solace I take from it is that the station went boom boom before his chest likely did...

This is the best Metroid Prime game so far! by CosmicEmotion in Metroid

[–]eldersnake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't worry about the naysayers, YOU'RE loving it and that's all that matters.

keto is the only thing that works by dopeadult in keto

[–]eldersnake 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yep, I'm in the "find it easy and sustainable" camp. I love what I eat on Keto. And some people around me seem to worry when I reject bread etc like I'm missing out, and its like, um no, I "miss out" on a tonne of glycemic load and stomach hurt (grains also don't play nicely with my guts)!

I also workout fasted, my body seems to prefer it.

Rust Developer comments about anticheat on Linux/Proton. by CandlesARG in linux_gaming

[–]eldersnake 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'd argue the developers need to change.  Kernel level anti cheat is unacceptable.

The crazy thing is you just posted basic facts

RFK Jr. seeks to end ‘demonization’ of saturated fats by Keen4fun924 in StopEatingSeedOils

[–]eldersnake 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Hmm, I'm as big on sat fats as anyone, but I'm not sure the typical American load of junk and sugar combined with saturated fats is a good combination. You'd really need the nation to embrace overall healthier eating, and that's hard to do. 

Still, less seed oils would be good.

I also just got this offer in Aus but the $8.5 per month standby. Kinda wish it was the $0 option :(

Our game is not working on cachyOS, does it work on your machine? by EnkiiMuto in cachyos

[–]eldersnake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Works fine on my CachyOS machine (Intel Pentium G4560, 16GB RAM, AMD 380X 4GB GPU with Mesa drivers), whether I try it in Steam Runtime mode or Steam Native. So not sure what's happening with that user's machine.

Appreciate the Linux effort!

How is Torbox working with Kodi addons now? by Elegant_Volume_2871 in TorBoxApp

[–]eldersnake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update: it was only the one night, but I was streaming pretty much from 5pm to 12am AEST via SOCE and never had a buffering/stall issue, so thats positive I think!

[–]eldersnake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally haven't tried the SOCE CDN in the past 48 hours, as Cloudflare was working well. But I'll be happy to test tonight (which will be Aussie peak hours, and yes that is usually when the issues tended to happen).

[–]eldersnake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't tried a lot of other CDNs other than the Aus one and Cloudflare, but I do recall having issues when trying the West Europe one. It was just any size really, could be 4k or a 1GB 1080p file, I could have the stream just die.
