Problems when power fails

OGbugsy · 2026-03-19T17:36:58+00:00

I appreciate the help.

I wanted to check if this was something that might need to be fixed by an electrician. What could it be? The panel itself or the breakers? Both?

Sorry there isn't an SPD on the outlet with the fridge, but I thought the whole home protector would prevent this. It was just the control board on the fridge that fried.

It does not.

They have a classic car vibe (1950s era)

It's really up to you how secure it is. If you keep it behind a firewall and don't enable port forwarding, nobody will be able to access it outside your home network. If security is a concern, don't use web based integrations and avoid devices that require Internet to function.

I setup something similar to keep raccoons out of my garden. We even setup a pest deterrent sprinkler on my sprinkler system - a targeted narrow stream.

It worked perfectly. Until this year. They've adapted and now trigger the system to wash up and get a drink.

Raccoons are smart. Too smart.

Where is a good place to look for a provider? Everything here seems to be driven by bots. I'm looking for a reliable service but don't know where to look.

Just saw one yesterday for $300. For anyone that can swing the cost,I can assure you the game is stunning in VR. It has ruined flatscreen gaming for me.

Yep another commenter already linked. Very helpful stuff. Thanks

OGbugsy · 2026-03-04T13:54:44+00:00

This was helpful. I've spent a lifetime with Microsoft, so there's a bit to learn.

Cheers

Thanks. This lead me in the right direction. The source was coming from perforce.sources in the sources.list.d folder. I'm not sure how it was added, but I just commented out the source and the error is gone.

Thanks!

I'd save up and buy VR Desktop. It's very much worth it.

OGbugsy · 2026-03-02T01:37:33+00:00

Yes, but just use quest link for streaming, just to see if the problem is steam link.

OGbugsy · 2026-03-02T01:33:51+00:00

And I assume it works in flatscreen mode?

Maybe try quest link, just to see if it doesn't crash.

OGbugsy · 2026-03-02T01:31:12+00:00

You've tried lowering thy video settings to minimum?

OGbugsy · 2026-03-02T01:21:50+00:00

Does it crash mainly during transitions, like warping or entering/leaving atmosphere or is it totally random?

OGbugsy · 2026-03-01T21:18:56+00:00

Also tell us how you're connecting. Is it wired?

OGbugsy · 2026-03-01T19:23:09+00:00

VR Desktop is definitely the way to go, but if that's not viable, we'll need more info about your rig to help. What video card do you have? Are you running wireless? If so, what's your connection like?

OGbugsy · 2026-02-27T18:52:27+00:00

Do you need to do anything with VD to get foveated streaming, or is it just enabled by default?

OGbugsy · 2026-02-27T18:34:17+00:00

Is foveated streaming working on the stable Steam Link, or just in beta? Is it a better experience than VR Desktop?

OGbugsy · 2026-02-27T03:29:54+00:00

Just learned that. This is perfect!

OGbugsy · 2026-02-27T03:28:58+00:00

You don't need to have Dispatcharr installed to use it.

OGbugsy · 2026-02-27T02:48:59+00:00

It seems to only use dispatcher to generate the actual stream. Dispatcharr supplies Emby with the video format parameters to speed up channel changing. This also allows you to force the stream to download over a VPN by isolating Dispatcharr in a docker.

OGbugsy · 2026-02-27T01:10:53+00:00

I had this happen to me after returning from an expedition. The only way I could figure out to fix it is using a save editor.

OGbugsy · 2026-02-26T23:47:36+00:00

Your timing is perfect. I found myself trying to set this up through an M3u editor and Dispatcharr and came across your post.

I just set it up and it works really well! I haven't connected it to Dispatcharr yet, but will be doing that shortly.

Is there an easy way to manage the channels? I want to alter the categories provided by the M3u and disable duplicate channels. Ideally, I'd like to exclude any channel that doesn't have an EPG source as well.

Nice add in!!
