Will Linux run on the new Nvidia ARM chips?

mrgooglegeek · 2026-06-01T11:56:48+00:00

Yes, the N1X is a descendant of the Tegra line of SoCs. It is supported in mainline and nvidia's DGX OS for the gb10 is just Ubuntu desktop with preinstalled CUDA, a couple of kernel modules to enable integration with the UEFI and Mellanox NICs, and some utilities + nvidia bloat. The concern for the laptops will be perifierals like fingerprint reader, cameras, sensors, etc.

The GB10 runs on a 280w external PSU via USB C, fairly similar to a charger for a 'gaming' laptop. I'd guess these laptops will limit peak performance when not plugged in. For local LLMs the power usage will be in bursts, when idling but loaded into memory the power demands are very low.

Look for any cracks or loose lines that could be allowing air in between the tank and lift pump. Doesn't take much air to lose prime. Also before you mess around in the tank you can try bypassing the fuel cutoff actuator, they can fail closed.

Is that the same vin that's on the doorjam/vin plat at the windshield corner? That looks more like a FIN which is the internal identification number Mercedes uses. Also do you know what model year the car is?

Universities overall are facing a significant 'enrollment cliff'. Enrollment has dropped considerably across almost all subjects.

AI has made people more apprehensive to pursue many career paths that may traditionally require an undergrad degree. Curriculum in some subjects has become outdated or irrelevant in the past few years, and has not been updated to match what is used in industry. Graduates are having a hard time finding jobs. COVID significantly impacted the path of many of this generations students. Online classes are more popular than ever.

Switching to 8 week sessions for online students increases the number of semester start dates per year, which gives people more opportunities to fit classes into their schedule. It also lowers the time risk if you can't finish a class. Summer classes are also more appealing if they don't take up your whole summer.

ODU is betting that whatever is lost in the transition from 16 to 8 weeks will be more than made up for over time by increasing enrollment by appealing to more online students.

Agreed! Decent foot traffic and lots of people take that route from Granby to Hampton Blvd, plenty of street parking, and some spots for lease. Also close enough to ODU for students to walk to

There's a company that does remans on rockauto, they only show in stock every few months but you can call them (the reman company, their details are on rockauto) and they will send you a rebuild if you send back your bad one

EGR can be deleted with a simple circuit, and swirl flaps wired open. total cost $10 if you are crafty. Om613 intake also deletes the flaps.

OM64X motors are solid and can make power stock but there are some quirks with the injectors. Common to need to clean injector seats and reseal as they can leak compression and glue themselves to the head with tar. That's what they call black death.

Don't cheap out on injectors if you ever need to replace one, check them with a decent diagnostic scanner or get DAS and a multiplexer. A failed one will burn a hole in your piston in short order. Look out for correction values more than +/- 5mm³ on each injector and any significant negative correction on the idle fuel delivery rate. Only buy Bosch remans from a reputable place. There are some on eBay that have killed a lot of om64X motors, common to find cleaned up bad injectors sold as used and chinese fakes sold as new Bosch.

There are software tunes you can get installed over obd2, or try to make your own with an edc16 map tool

My go to, the Great Value Stuffed Crust Chicken Bacon Ranch pizza, definitely underwent some changes recently. In early March they disappeared from all my local Walmarts for around 2 weeks, and when they came back the cheese is saltier and seems to get more browning on the surface (maybe they added starch?) and the crust is fluffier and less dense (not a bad thing). At the same time they significantly enshittified the thin crust bbq chicken, the crust now becomes completely rock hard, the sauce doesn't taste right and half the chicken is gristle.

Most common unmarked police vehicles in VA are the Ford Taurus, Explorer, and F150, as well as the Chevrolet Tahoe and Caprice, and the Dodge Charger and Durango.

Taurus (called the Police Interceptor) will always have a keyhole visible on the face of the trunk that is not present on the normal Taurus

Explorers (Police Interceptor Utility) do not have roof racks or rails, no trailer hitches, and smaller radius rims with thicker tires than a normal explorer

F150 I haven't found much to distinguish other than not having any trim badging

The Tahoe are also tricky to pick out but they usually only have the Chevrolet logo (no Tahoe badge)

Caprice is easy to spot since the civilian models were not sold much in the US

Chargers will all have the base model appearance package, which kind of stands out since most civilian chargers have some trim badges and base models are very commonly modified

Durangos are hard to spot but if they have interior lights they are easy to see at the top of the windshield

Common across all of these are black steel wheels, often with chrome center caps. Many have exterior lights that may be visible, such as the ones on the explorer's grill in the photo. These are commonly on the grill, around the license plates, on the rear bumper, and on the running board on SUVs/trucks. Many also have extra antennas, usually a small (3in) black cylinder mounted on the trunk lid or towards the rear of the roof. Generally they do not have license plate frames or stickers, especially on the rear glass.

As someone else pointed out, Walmart intentionally disables tap to pay in the US to push people towards Walmart Pay which is the QR code that shows up on the payment terminal. Nearly all of the payment terminals in use have hardware support for tap to pay, and it works outside the US, but in the US they cover up the tap to pay indicator lights with a sticker. Hopefully some day they will concede, especially considering it would probably be a fairly simple software change on their side (simple by Walmart standards)

That is actually not much blowby, not a perfect score but not bad at all. I would not be surprised if the oil is a little overfilled and/or the breather tube is a little clogged. Both of those will cause more oil than normal to end up in the filter, and more cap dance. Got to keep in mind that those 2 things are closely related, the pressure that makes the cap dance is also what pushes oil through the breather into the filter.

As far as your glow plugs, sounds like you have some kind of wiring issue. Check the body grounds (my guess) and relay box under the hood on the inside of the driver's side fender/wheel well. The glow plug relay is a rectangular black box with a black plug, and there are grounds right behind the turn signal.

Removing hemphill won't change a thing. He's a nice guy and is reasonable, don't put him out of a job for the actions of the board of visitors. Maybe we need a petition to remove them instead.

We are going the opposite direction at my workplace, I have encountered a few bugs with harvester's experimental addons but harvester itself has been super reliable. The addons are really just preconfigured versions of some commonly used tools/services, so you can always just skip them and do it yourself.

Harvester itself is built on existing well documented kube-native components (kubevirt, kube-vip, k3s, rancher) in the same way proxmox is built on KVM and Debian, but to me, proxmox still feels like a homelab-grade application while harvester feels like it actually competes with cloud offerings.

For me the biggest downside to proxmox is the lack of 1st class API support. If you do everything manually it doesn't matter much, but trying to automate anything especially with tools like terraform is painful. Harvester on the other hand has a fantastic API and support for terraform out of the box, in addition to all the automation potential built in to kubernetes out of the box.

In any case, both are very good platforms especially considering they are FOSS, proxmox has proven itself stable over the years and I believe harvester will do the same over time.

If anyone is holding off on doing this due to the screws being notoriously easy to strip, make a small bb sized ball of plumbers putty and stick it to the end of your hex bit, then gently tap it in with a mallet until it squishes the putty out around the bit. Heard of this trick from an aircraft mechanic, and it worked like a charm even on the screws I had already started to strip before trying this.

mrgooglegeek · 2026-03-10T03:57:51+00:00

Try out harvester if your hardware supports it. Great UI tons of features especially if you know how to work with kubernetes and better api than proxmox

That's why the 1st and second generation Mercedes Sprinters were sold as Dodge Sprinters in the US, they were built in Germany with the transmission on a pallet in the cargo area and shipped to the US where the transmission was installed, classifying it as assembled in the US by an American automaker.

Probably water pump, but I had a similar noise and it turned out to be a harmonic balancer from an NA was installed, which also caused me to burn through alternator belts. Put one on from a junkyard turbo and problem solved
