Hi, everyone!

A few months ago I have purchased a used Jetson Nano 4G (not to be confused with the newer Orin model) for pennies and ever since have tried to the best of my ability to make it useful, i.e. not e-waste.
This machine runs Ubuntu 18.04 on Arm and Tegra. It can be upgraded to newer releases (forcefully), but seems useless outside AI vision stuff as it lacks any meaningful software support.
No HW acceleration in the browser or video playback (outside of barebones gstreamer). Ubuntu seems rather buggy with anything but Gnome and some audio related stuff just keeps breaking every few minutes.
There are some community guides on the official forum and some outside of it, but in general, you have to stick to 18.04 to get the bare minimum working and even then, the outdated browser makes most of the internet unusable.
I've tried to contact people who claimed to have made HW acceleration work in general, but no one responded and most links are dead because they are 3-4 years old.

Can anyone here point me towards some if ANY resources to make this little machine useful? I've read every single post on the forum, on jetsonhacks (mostly regurgatates other resources) and on github (Ubuntu 20.04 images fail for me).

Hi everyone!
I recently successfully traced some network issues I was having in Counter Strike back to my QBittorrent client having too many open connections. Global maximum was set to around 500, with a 100 max per torrent. This caused major jitter and packetloss in-game.
My current router is an Asus N18U which has Asus-Merlin on it.
The issues kept coming back even with a smaller number of open connections to the point I had to shut down the client.
I can't remeber having these kinds of issue on Windows (current system CachyOS wit latest kernel), but I can ne wrong.
For what kind of specs should I be looking in a router for this kind of task? Would a MikroTik hEX refresh (upgraded RAM and CPU) be enough or overkill?
Thanks!

So, what's the deal with NumLock? I have it tuned on in the BIOS and in KDE settings, yet every time I boot up my PC or open the terminal as super user, it is turned off. Any way to deal with this? That happened on Bazzite, Fedora and now Cachy. I have a 100% keyboard and I want to use all 100% of it.

Hi everyone
I have had really bad jitter in CS2 for about 3 months now. Last year the game worked flawlessly, but now it is slowly becomming unplayable. I don't know when the issues started as I had a longer hiatus with the game. The frame rate is stable, only packet problems. I don't have any other FPS games to compare it to. Loading and using regular web pages works just fine.

It seems that there might be compounding issues. Things I noticed contribute to more jitter:

• Pihole (default setup CouldFlare DNS, both IPv4 and v6)
• Fedora kernel
• x11 session

What I tried:

• switching to an older kernel 6.15.9 -> 6.14.9
• using CachyOS kernel (reduces jitter, but causes serious issues with Electron apps)
• switching from Wayland (the default) to x11
• using Gamescope
• verifying game files
• disabling Pihole and unpluggin it from the network altogether

My setup:
Fedora 42 with latest updates and kernel 6.15.9, CachyOS kernel 6.16.1
Ryzen 2700 and RX6600, 32GB RAM

I have no idea what to do next. The internet doesn't offer any solutions and everything I have tried so far does absolutely nothing. It could just be a bug in CS2 itself, but it's strange that almost noone is reporting it. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hi everyone!
I am a newish user. Installed pihole on my Pi 3B almost 3 months ago and since then I have had issues when playing games - notably CS2.
When I route my traffic thru Pihole I experience a significant increase in latency and jitter. It varies from noticable to insufferable. DHCP is turned on only on the router. Pi handles just then DNS and filtering.
If I disable Pihole and change the DNS to 1.1.1.1, there is almost no jitter and the latency is fine.
I've scowered the internet for answers, but most people blame having DHCP on both router and Pi, which I don't have enabled. Any ideas what I could check or change? Some even suggested enabling IPv6 support, but that didn't do anything.
The Pi is updated to the lates Pihole version as of today. It is enclosed in a plastic case and cooling, so temps aren't an issue.
On my PC I am running Fedora 42 with CachyOS kernel.
Thanks!

Any way to force the desktop to load regardless? I know, typing startx isn't hard, but I would like not to. Tnx!

Hi everyone!

I think this needs a bit of backstory before I get into the actual problem. There will be a TL;DR at the end.

I am in my 30s and for some time now, after an encounter with an acquaintance from abroad who had been diagnosed with ADHD, I have been suspecting I might have it too. All the struggles and hardships he faced in his life overlap quite a bit with my own experiences. At first I didn't think much of it, but found it rather strange as I always envisioned ADHD just as the physically hyperactive part and never really looked into it. But on multiple occasions, especially after joining Lemmy, there were popping up posts from the ADHDmemes community which were scary relatable. There were also some youtube videos, where creators I follow started to talk about their experiences and the process of getting diagnosed and how everything after that went for them. Considering all of that, I am fairly certain that I fall into this category as it would explain quite a bit about myself and why I do things the way I do.

In my current relationship we hit a brick wall. I am very sensitive to stress and when in a stressful situation I tend to have outbursts of anger. Nothing violent, just verbally condescending. Exhibit A: "So, what do you plan to do about it?" "Do I look like I have a fucking clue what to do?!" or Exhibit B: "So, what now?" "I can't talk about it now or the next few days." (might be bad examples, but I can't come up with anything better)

This, of course, has led to one too many fights and problems not just with my partner, but with parents and family (including all the other things associated with ADHD as I found here https://lemmy.world/post/24554298).

Getting a diagnosis in my country (non-EU) would be hard. There seems to be just one doctor who does it in another city (I don't think any of it would be even covered with healthcare) and from googling around it seems that medications is rather scarce. After doing one online questionnaire, which someone in a video suggested, I got a pretty low score meaning I don't have it.

Would going thru the effort and trying to get medication solve my stress related issues? Or would it just make it bearable? The ultimatum was clear - either solve it or gtfo. Talking to her about my suspicions about the causes didn't seem to yield any results as it is just a suspicion.

Before anyone suggests it, I went to therapy for a few years and it has helped greatly, but with (likely) faulty hardware there is only so much software trickery you can pull off.

TL;DR: I am undiagnosed and therefore unmedicated. Partner set an ultimatum to get my sensitivity to stress under control or we are splitting for good. Has medication helped anyone with this specific issue?

After failing to get some plugins to work with VS Code I decided that perhaps a simpler editor like Neovim would be a nice candidate for simple programs. after watching a few tutorials and getting myself familiar with the plugin manager ecosystem, I decided to settle on vim-plug.

The thing is, I can't get Mason to work at all. People recommended it as a simple solution for managing LSPs and it seemed reasonable enough to try. Mason installs, but no Mason-specific command is recognized by Neovim. I can launch the UI manually with require("mason.ui").open(), but that's that. No list of LSPs I can download, just a blank UI. I have tried reinstalling, downloading an older version, sanity checking everything 10 times. All other plugins I have work as expected. The only other thing which doesn't seem to work is showcmd which, in theory, should suggest commands as I type them out.

I can't find any open issue on github regarding this problem. Google search didn't yield any useful results. My only guess would be that there needs to be a specific order in which I have to load/initialize this plugin.

Here is what my files look like:

1. init.vim

call plug#begin()
Plug 'williamboman/mason.nvim'
Plug 'williamboman/mason-lspconfig.nvim'
Plug 'neovim/nvim-lspconfig'

-- then some other stuff like `Telescope` 
--     which has no interaction with `Mason`

2. init.lua (the whole file)

require("mason").setup()
require("mason-lspconfig").setup()

require("telescope").load_extension("file_browser")
require("telescope").load_extension("project")
require("telescope").load_extension("ui-select")
require("telescope").load_extension("frecency")
require("telescope").load_extension("media_files")

require('nvim-web-devicons').setup()
require('mini.icons').setup()

Any ideas or suggestions besides trying lazy-vim or another plugin manager? Tnx!

While I was adding Golang to the PATH my terminal (Konsole) suddenly stopped recognizing basic commands like nano and ls. I restared my PC and after logging back in (X11) KDE started throwing errors because it wasn't able to find any program I tried to launch. Konsole is gone. I can't open any program whatsoever (Firefox, Discover etc.). Trying to log in into Wayland just throws a black screen. After a few more reatarts I decided to use the terminal from the login screen, but it is broken as well. ls not found, nano and vim don't exist. So far I can use pwd and cd.

What the hell is wrong here? Is it hardware failure (bad SSD)? Is there anything I can attempt to recover the system?
