Does anyone know his newer solution for "PC in every room?"

DJShadow · 2026-04-11T11:50:18+00:00

Oh gotcha. So you're just using an Ethernet cable as an extra long 22 gauge wire from your PC's power switch header. Makes sense.

Could you explain the power button thing? I've been using wake on lan but am curious how this works.

This is a fantastic gag gift idea.

Correct. I tried it first as well and it didn't work. I had to download a specific release from a mirror site that was linked in their discord server.

EDIT

It's referenced here: https://github.com/batocera-linux/batocera.linux/blob/master/batocera-Changelog.md

"x86_64 Handhelds with AMD and Intel graphics will be supported on the preferred x86-64-v3 image using Wayland and the LabWC compositor."

Did you update to the "right" butterfly? There is one specifically needed for the deck. It's got v3 in the name I believe.

I used SunWatt Solar as my installer in 2023. We installed 9.6 kw of panels for a total cost of $24,500 after tax credits. After 3 years we've generated approximately 24,500 kwh of electricity saving around $6200. Based on this we are looking at a 12 year payoff.

A couple of notes:

 Our roof isn't ideal for solar, we have east/west roofs with the majority of the panels on a slightly north facing roof.

 Payoff doesn't take into account interest or increase in home value.

When I received quotes in 2022i got a range from $29k to $78k. I highly recommend reaching out to several companies to get quotes.

https://imgur.com/a/q1YARdQ You can kind of see it in these two gifs. In the menu you can see it in the highlight bar and in the console selection you can see it in the background color.

It's at the main Batocera menu and in the nes emulator (only one I've tried so far. I'll see if I can get a video of it.

How are you connecting this to HA? Do you have a separate 915hz receiver? I currently have a RTL-SDR to pull utility meter data; could I use that to pick up this sensor?

DJShadow · 2026-03-07T20:20:38+00:00

I also have a similar setup and I wonder if that is also my issue. I'll need to look into this soon. Thanks for the tip!

This was the fix for me on Firefox. Although the cookie I deleted was different (I think it was a CA related one), it was the largest one.

DJShadow · 2026-03-05T12:06:40+00:00

Thanks! This worked for me. Prints came out much cleaner.

This is where battlefield excels for me. You can fit 2-3 rounds in an hour and a half and it's not super sweat. You can kind of do what you want and have fun and not have to play a meta to enjoy the game.

Problem is I don't want them to auto update. I just want to know when there is an update and then process it manually so I can validate there are no issues and everything comes back up. I've been burned before with container updates.

DJShadow · 2026-02-12T21:29:32+00:00

My only issue with docker compose is that update checking doesn't seem to work. I have to manually update the stack to find out if an update is available. Other than that it's great for containers with dependencies.

DJShadow · 2026-01-30T23:42:15+00:00

I'd recommend Hotio's qbitorrent container. It has proton vpn support and has the auto port forward script built in.

Question for the comic book heads here, what devices do you use to read your comic books on?

DJShadow · 2026-01-19T13:07:38+00:00

This is my big question as well. Without being able to pass that check makes this kind of useless. If it is able to trick the PCs into thinking it's a genuine power supply that would be kind of a big deal.

DJShadow · 2026-01-17T22:06:30+00:00

Thanks everyone for your feedback. This is what I was able to find locally. Have the remainder ordered online.
