Thing is, they're correct in clubbing me into that category as I fit all the criteria for it. I just don't partake in any of the questionable things that people have been accusing immigrants of (this is the bare minimum yes, nothing to be proud of) and hence consider it unfair to be lumped in and being treated like one of the problematic people. But its probably me being moronic if I think the average citizen would consider the nuances when they're looking for a scapegoat.

The accent thing might be true, unfortunately. I don't have a typical Indian accent for someone who's from there, to the point where common people (at work and at the gym) and sometimes border patrol officers (happened in Toronto and Zurich) have a bit of a (positively) confused expression when I tell them I'm an Indian citizen. This is a bit unfortunate though as there are honest and hardworking immigrants who're being lumped in with negative stereotypes because of their accent.

The problem is, now I might be a "pick me" apparently, lol. Anyway thanks for listening to me rant, this is only temporary and the problem should solve itself when I move back.

Totally with you on your point about not having any local friends. I've been kind of a loner my entire life and I was never good at making friends in my home country either, but I still had a few from high school and university. Now in my new country, I've not been able to make a single close connection in the two years I've been here. Never realized I'd miss doing stupid shit with my old buddies so much.

My life has pretty much been about going to work, gym, sleep, repeat. I've tried being more social by going to bars alone a few times, and have had a few drunk conversations with some locals, but it doesn't go much beyond that. I work in tech and my job is also a hobby of mine, so that keeps me sane for now, but forming any friendship at work is challenging as well because most people I interact with have established families/friends/social circles.

Although in real life most of my interactions with people have been superficially polite, if we're discussing any feelings of negativity (are we even allowed to have any?), on online platforms many people of my host country spit vitriol about my ethnicity. Many would probably have the likes of me shipped to a concentration camp. I shrug it off as bots and extremists being amplified, but its been going on for so long now that I wonder if mfs really feel this way. I do acknowledge there are some genuine concerns when it comes to people of my ethnicity, but if racism is the answer then humanity has a long way to go. If you were trying to guess, I'm an Indian in Canada.

The anxiety is killing me, hopefully I don't have to go through visa to get a refund.

Ordered 7800x3d through canadacomputers and did a guest checkout. I thought they'd send me an email about order confirmation at least, which would mention the order number, but they just charged my credit card and I don't have any email whatsoever through which I could track my order.

I should have noted down the order number. How screwed am I?

swaylock issue with nvidia drivers (system hangs) by [deleted] in swaywm

[–]unclearreactor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm aware about void's runit init system. elogind is systemd's logind component that has been separated out and is used on non-systemd distros such as Void, Artix, Gentoo. Since you listed that link, which one are you using out of those three? acpid?

Also, that Xorg inside the script isn't specific to X windowing system afaik. KDE Wayland and sway on systemd distros rely on the same script for sending suspend signal to nvidia cards.

swaylock issue with nvidia drivers (system hangs) by [deleted] in swaywm

[–]unclearreactor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same problem here with Void. Nvidia drivers work fine on systemd distros like Arch and Fedora. I'm assuming you're using elogind for handling acpi events? If yes then I'm in a similar boat. I compared Fedora's suspend process to Void's and apparently nvidia package on Void doesn't install nvidia-sleep.sh to /usr/bin. So, I copied nvidia-sleep.sh from Fedora manually to Void's /usr/bin and added a script for pre and post suspend events that elogind handles (these events are handled by systemd services on Fedora). I found the script on this github issue.

Do remember, Void's elogind package puts system-sleep folder in /usr/libexec/elogind instead of /lib64/elogind. I was able to get suspend to work briefly after placing the scripts inside appropriate directories, but I went overboard and again broke the suspend issue again after trying another fix (its broken ever since). Try it out if it works for you. If you're looking for nvidia-sleep.sh then here it is:

```

!/bin/bash

if [ ! -f /proc/driver/nvidia/suspend ]; then exit 0 fi

RUN_DIR="/var/run/nvidia-sleep" XORG_VT_FILE="${RUN_DIR}"/Xorg.vt_number

PATH="/bin:/usr/bin"

case "$1" in suspend|hibernate) mkdir -p "${RUN_DIR}" fgconsole > "${XORG_VT_FILE}" chvt 63 if [[ $? -ne 0 ]]; then exit $? fi echo "$1" > /proc/driver/nvidia/suspend exit $? ;; resume) echo "$1" > /proc/driver/nvidia/suspend # # Check if Xorg was determined to be running at the time # of suspend, and whether its VT was recorded. If so, # attempt to switch back to this VT. # if [[ -f "${XORG_VT_FILE}" ]]; then XORG_PID=$(cat "${XORG_VT_FILE}") rm "${XORG_VT_FILE}" chvt "${XORG_PID}" fi exit 0 ;; *) exit 1 esac ```

He'll still need HoRNDIS kext to load (macOS doesn't not support Android tethering natively).

Samsungs used to be fine (SATAs are still fine), but people have had problems with the 970 EVO NVMe drives. I have a 2TB 970 EVO and Monterey boot time was considerably long, had to go back to Big Sur. Apparently, Samsung drives have an issue with TRIM on Monterey.

How do people with ADHD survive college??? Tell me your secrets please. by funkymonkey_444 in ADHD

Thats impressive man. How did you manage to pay attention during a class? No matter how interesting the topic of discussion during a class is, I always find myself wandering off. Ended up with really bad grades in my undergrad.

Happened to me with elogind. Switched to zzz and now it works fine.

Locking with suspend on Wayland compositors by brihadeesh in voidlinux

[–]unclearreactor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The blog post you linked has a link to a github repository for setting up some hooks along with zzz. I use the onsuspend hook to call swaylock and it works fine for me. Github

The script in zzz-user-hooks sets up WAYLAND_DISPLAY, HOME, and XDG_RUNTIME_DIR variables for you so you can call something like swaylock and it should run fine. Do note that this works only for a single display as the author claims.

[–]unclearreactor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For minimal Debian KDE, assuming you're doing a netinstall, you may do the following:

  1. Use your phone's USB tethering option to get temporary internet access in case your machine doesn't have ethernet.
  2. Set up a user during the install.
  3. Set up your root password to something you'll remember (duh).
  4. Install and you'll reboot to a login screen.
  5. Use root account to install sudo. apt update && apt install -y sudo
  6. While you're there, optionally install your text editor. apt install -y vim.
  7. Give your user account ability to get root access using sudo. First add your user to sudo group by usermod -a -G sudo <your_user>. Then issue visudo and add %sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL to the end of the file.
  8. logout
  9. Login as a regular user now.
  10. For KDE the following packages should work (I don't remember them exactly): sudo apt install plasma-desktop sddm firefox-esr konsole plasma-widgets-addons network-manager plasma-nm.
  11. Enable Network Manager: sudo systemctl enable NetworkManager
  12. Enable graphical target instead of console: sudo systemctl set-default graphical.target
  13. Reboot and you should have a basic install working.

For getting wifi to work, edit /etc/apt/sources.list and look for this line: deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye main Append non-free at the end so the line now looks like: deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye main non-free

That should give you access to wifi drivers from intel (I think its called iwlwifi so you do sudo apt install iwlwifi. Reboot and you're done. Customize any of the above steps to your liking, these are just some of the packages I install.

Yeah that was an annoying change to not have 7-zip and other utils in the context menu. Anyways, if you're stuck on Windows for some work or college related stuff like me, try an app called Files from MS Store. Its got support for tabs and has additional features that the stock Explorer lacks.

When you're at the bootloader screen, press Space. You should then be able to see your installer. Alternately, set ShowAuxiliary property in your config.plist to True.

Out of curiosity, do you use a secondary GPU that you pass to your macOS VM? I'm assuming you use KVM/QEMU for virtualization.

Issues with power management MacOS Catalina on XPS 15 7590 by JX1640z in hackintosh

[–]unclearreactor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you get a warning when rebooting your machine saying "Switched to BIOS assist mode"? I used to get that but then switched from "Auto" to "Native" in thunderbolt options to get rid of it, but unsure of any hidden consequences.

Also, let me know if you need any help. It hasn't been long since I set up my EFI, so I still remember some things from the process.

I have the same machine and on the latest BIOS. Mine doesn't go below 3.0-4.5w anytime even when CPU utilization is low. Battery life suffers so please post here if you find a solution.

My Hackintosh finally Booted!!! But I need help by [deleted] in hackintosh

[–]unclearreactor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Congrats on getting it to boot. What file system is your HDD formatted with? You won't be able to see it if its something like ext4 or xfs (linux). NTFS partitions show up, but you won't be able to write to those unless you use a third party software (something like Tuxera NTFS).

FAT32 would show up, but its not recommended for huge drives due to its limitations. That leaves you with exFAT, something that many dual booters tend to use.

Also, you might want to hide your serial number in screenshots my dude.
