I alteady did that and the site measured an increase somewhere between 20ms and 50ms, but in-game it would frequently go up to +100ms. I have almost no onowlegde in the domain of networking, so going for a hardware solution is easier in my case.

It is beyond weird. I’ve spent months trying to pinpoint the issue. I changed kernels, distros, cable, reinstalled every piece of software I could. As for Qbittorrent. I haven’t changed a single setting since installing it. The only thing I did was enable port-forwardung in my router’s software for the client. As for queue preferences, are you refering to QoS and such? I didn’t mess with it, since some posts suggested hampered speeds due to poor software optimization.

[Edit]: download and upload aren’t symmetrical. My part of town doesn’t have any fiber infrastructure, so I am stuck on copper cables with about 120Mb/s tops, and 1/10 of that for upload.

Wifi isn’t that important to me, since I would keep my old one and use it as a brigde for phones. All other hardware (pihole, etc.) would be connected with an ethernet cable. I haven’t considered VPNs as of yet. My only consideration is it handling a lot of traffic or at least the traffic I currently have. Having to turn things off just to play a game is kinda stupid…
Where I live, there is no gigabit infrastructure :-/ I am stuck with 120 Mb/s for the forseeable future. 600-800Mb/s is plenty for me.

Since noone mentioned it, for me it is Inmost. A beautiful pixelart game that covers some heavy topics.

From their website:

I installed CachyOS on a spare drive and the jitter is almost gone. Just a few hickups here and there, but about 10x better out of the box. Now I am just confused. Fedora used to work perfectly fine!

An update on this whole issue. Since nothing worked I got really pissed and installed CachyOS on a spare drive. Lo’ and behold, the jitter is almost non-existent. Now I am even more perplexed.

Tried rhat today with various Proton versions. Only Sniper lets me play a game, other complain about not being VAC compatible. But sadly neither of them help with jitter. I tried even Proton-GE, but also not VAC compatible…

I wanted to compile mimalloc. Not sure which dependencies were missing, but I couldn’t install them. So I had to copy them over from another distro, but after that the linker couldn’t find them. Seems like too much effort for some basic functionallity as I did the same in Fedora in less than one minute.

I was on Bazzite prior to Fedora. I switched to Fedora because I couldn’t get Bazzite to compile some code because of missing dependecies, which I couldn’t install for some unknown reason. Noone on they Discord knew why, so I had to give it up.

If nothing else works, I’ll have to give it a try

• I don’t use any wireless connecticity for my PC, just a plain old ethernet cable.
• The ping test was fine. 176 packets received, 0% lost, only 3-4 outliers with 150ms, average 15ms.
• ethtool was fine 1000mbps and full. Bufferbloat was fine too, 20ms.
• I’ll try cl_interp_ratio tomorrow and report back.
• Noone is wwtching anything in 4k, maybe some YT on phone (I have cable).
• One site that gave me some bad results was packetlosstest. Someone on reddit suggested using it to test some CS preset. No lost packets, but about 8-10% are late (more than 40ms).

Ok, but we have to start somewhere, don’t we? This is the same type of thing like all the awareness campaigns. The effectiveness can’t be measured that easily and societal change is slow. Most people would love if things changed over night and tomorrow brought a new, better world.
How long did workers fight for basic rights? How long did people fight against monarchies and absolutists in favor of democracies?
Blizzard was the holy grail of gaming up until the rumors started floating around. Then came the evidence and the boycotts. Most of their clients have no interest in gaming news and heard just the hyper around Blizzard games (just like Bethesda). Spread the word as far as you can to reach those people and change will follow.
The student protests you mentioned started fairly recently compared to the opression and brain-washing that have been going on for decades. It takes idealists and public pressure, and not careere politicians to change society. If just a few of those see a growing mass which they can ride to secure their position, they sure will at least bring some positive action.
We can disagree on the methods used, but not on the goal. You are free to fight the same battles the way you see fit. Don’t forget that most of the traffic to Lemmy came from the Reddit boycott - myself included. I stayed and so did many others. Even if it is just a small dent in Reddit’s profits.

There is absolutely ZERO need for such hostility. If you disagree, do so respectively or if you for whatever reason can’t, just downvote and move on.

I don’t see it just as a performance, but rather a way to find like-minded peopel and build a community that will eventually get things rolling in the right direction. Every movement needs some kind of criical mass to achieve something and a call to action -no matter how miniscule and benign - is a good way of setting things into motion.

The target audience are we, the tech literate people who give a damn. It’s then on us to propagate it further to those who are affected, but unaware. Build a critical mass and things will get rolling.

That last one is just a personal attack.

They pretty much repeat everythibg Ross said the initiative is NOT set out to do. Just like that brat PirateSoftware… Mallicious from the get go.

There was a thread on r/SamHarris (maybe 2 years ago) where some people without inner monologue answered questions. It was interesting to read.

I wish most other sites didn’t patch out this method :-(
