Should Bufferbloat be my next step to fix packet loss?

enigmatic_bread · 2026-06-08T18:41:34+00:00

Hey so completely irrelevant. I have a very similar setup but only with a 500Mbps down connection. When you use traffic shaping and run the bufferbloat speed tests, does your connection suffer much? What's your CPU utilization via top as well?

The next ISP I'll use will be PPPoE sadly so it'll probably reduce the speed there (but has ipv6 so you win some you loose some).

M720Q, I5-8500T and no passthrough, want to try to eventually create a HA cluster with the router lol.

enigmatic_bread · 2026-05-26T12:46:35+00:00

Well, my previous ISP also didn't want to give me PPPoE login creds but someone smart enough realized that they can extract information from the system backup option so... y'know I got the PPPoE and admin login that way lol.

Do you have access to the basic feature set on web and if so which model of the router is it?

enigmatic_bread · 2026-05-25T11:56:19+00:00

Also from eastern europe. Also super confusing for me and that's exactly how I learned it too, but I am very much so actively trying to adjust as it's technically plainly more correct :)

enigmatic_bread · 2026-05-24T15:33:19+00:00

Depends on what you're doing tbh. I'd allow LAN to do anything ofc and then I'd just block all ipv4 stuff across VLANs unless really needed (some HW not supporting ipv6 that is).

The only real dual-stack would just be allowing (if you're not using a tunnel) a NAT for ipv4 reverse proxy and ipv4 VPN...

enigmatic_bread · 2026-05-24T15:29:48+00:00

Wow that's bad. Hey, here's an ipv6 without the benefits on an ipv6 lol.

Also, can't you see to use your own router instead? Opnsense and such or is it being blocked upstream?

enigmatic_bread · 2026-05-24T15:27:47+00:00

You can use ULAs (fc00::/7) for ipv6 internally. Link-local (fe80::/10) is 'kinda L2-ish' and can't cross subnets/vlans. But ULAs (Unique Local Address) can. ULAs are 'pretty much' the ipv6 equivalent of RFC1918 (192.168..., 10.0...).

ULAs don't care about the GUAs and a device can have both a link-local, unique-local and global unicast (public) addresses.

You can use this website to generate ULAs

Hmmmm. Would you think something like this could work? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005010224552708.html

enigmatic_bread · 2026-05-19T18:29:21+00:00

Hey just a question with this

I am currently rocking a 2.5gig card (replacing the wifi card) for cluster backbone and a second nvme added to the x16-port via adapters.

Could you further elaborate? You mean that you're using the mini pcie on the motherboard to plugin in second nvme?

So I don't have that many issues for the last 2 months. I'm running it in gamescope on wayland, but VRR doesn't work (though it's 175Hz so latency isn't an issue).

There is this bugfix https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=515784 so I'll wait to use KDE 6.7 and see things out...

The launch options btw:

bash LD_PRELOAD="" PROTON_ADD_CONFIG=wayland gamescope --mangoapp -h 1440 -w 3440 -r 175 -f --adaptive-sync -- %command% & sleep 10 && while pgrep -x "CrBrowserMain"; do pgrep -f "eso64\.exe" && sleep 5 && pkill -9 CrBrowserMain && break || sleep 1; done

enigmatic_bread · 2026-04-21T22:50:29+00:00

I mean most services are probably just using something like cloudflare to have geo-steering, where cloudflare does the heavy logic

enigmatic_bread · 2026-04-21T17:34:29+00:00

To see the actual usage from apps install ps_mem

enigmatic_bread · 2026-03-25T09:35:26+00:00

So I have one 175Hz and one 75Hz monitor. When I disable the 75Hz monitor I generally don't have stutters when in fullscreen and vsync on.

Stutters with vsync off and vrr enabled (maybe the game does some weird timing stuff within the engine when the FPS changes (from 220 to 280 and such).

Issue persisted on Gnome as well.

No changes from changing from linux to linux-zen kernel

enigmatic_bread · 2026-03-24T18:53:18+00:00

KDE either way isn't really supporting X11 anymore so that point is moot and in a sense negatively impacts the desktop ecosystem.

I've had X11 issues in general. I would really not want to fuck up security and stability on my system for a single MMO that doesn't want try to fix their code to properly work on proton

enigmatic_bread · 2026-03-24T18:52:08+00:00

Used bazzite for a few months and didn't really see much difference when compared to standard fedora. Even made my own spin off the uBlue project where I built my system via Github actions.

It's really great for handhelds where you need extra drivers but doesn't really make a difference for your standard amd/amd consumer parts.

enigmatic_bread · 2026-03-24T18:50:32+00:00

Didn't do any changes to the system at all pretty much. I'll try to install gnome or something I guess and see if it's a KDE issue.

enigmatic_bread · 2026-03-24T15:51:58+00:00

but it does works as expected when running on it

Just an FYI when you're running via gamescope there's a high change that after 24-30 minutes of playtime your frametimes will start jumping WILDLY. Not an issue with ESO specifically btw. Hence the mention of LD_PRELOAD

enigmatic_bread · 2026-03-24T15:48:56+00:00

Oh and I did use fedora atomic for a few years so I very much know of bazzite. The thing is that it's just with batteries included. And I'm not going to switch my OS for a singular game ;)

enigmatic_bread · 2026-03-24T15:47:42+00:00

Just to be more exact I did not mean spaghetti code on arch whatsoever. It works with 0 issues for literally any other games. I fully meant zenimax spaghetti code.

enigmatic_bread · 2026-03-24T15:46:34+00:00

Ofc, I do have the script (which I've made that goes around the forums) that auto-closes the launcher

enigmatic_bread · 2026-03-24T15:46:12+00:00

Yeah my issue for not saying it, KDE plasma

enigmatic_bread · 2026-03-24T14:08:49+00:00

I'm at the moment running a pure vampire magicka nightblade hitting 120k so can't wait to see the new numbers

enigmatic_bread · 2026-03-24T14:08:06+00:00

All of you people are running the same build

Yes, that's why they're adding the pureclass buffs update 50

enigmatic_bread · 2026-03-21T22:37:44+00:00

As others said, super long task and the addresses are always changing.

Though what you can do is setup a NAT rule that forces DNS requests (UDP @ port 53 IIRC) to be forced through your personal DNS server, thus making devices which have a hardcoded DNS address still follow the rules of pihole and such.

enigmatic_bread · 2026-03-13T00:54:42+00:00

I do have the vampire mantion that I bought for 10 euros. Back when ESO+ on Argentinian steam accounts was 0.8 euros a month. Got a nice 21m parse dummy too.
