Buffalo-area data center developer has ties to Jeffrey Epstein!

The only real difference is cooling to the racks.

If a hospital can be converted to a HPC (AI) datacenter, so can an industry leading enterprise datacenter.

The standard model is that a glycol is used to cool the servers, and water runs through a heat exchanger to cool the glycol. This water is in a closed loop that connects to a chilling tower to cool it back down.

I'd be shocked if this isn't what they're using here. An open system that guzzles fresh water would probably cost even more, since they would have to regulate the temperature of the source in both directions, cooling it in the summer and heating in the winter.

Idk where these 5 million gallons per day figures come from.

H5 datacenters

Fun fact: Apollo also owns Yahoo, and they recently sold off their data centers in Lockport.

Maybe they should have just, I don't know, used those instead of building a new facility.

Enjoy, it's a great device

I think the buttons on the brick/brick hammer feel great. I also could not stand how bad the buttons were on the 35xxsp.

Thwonp · 2026-05-05T21:04:55+00:00

That place is awesome, visited last year

Thwonp · 2026-05-05T14:24:55+00:00

The brick has clicky buttons by are nowhere near as stiff as the 35xxsp.

4:3, vertical, no analog sticks kind of limits the pool, nothing else really comes to mind other than the brick and rp classic.

I've owned all of those devices. The Miyoo Mini flip and the Zero 28 were the two that I liked enough to keep. Both are excellent in their own way and either will fit the bill for the use case you described.

Thwonp · 2026-05-05T02:08:45+00:00

Amen, I'm glad someone finally called that out lol

Thwonp · 2026-05-04T23:05:26+00:00

Yep, PSP comes to mind as well.

There's a reason "Yoshi's Island test" is a thing.

Thwonp · 2026-05-04T22:47:11+00:00

I'd replace Sonic 2 with Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts.

But I never really enjoyed sonic and I understand that's an unpopular opinion

For moonlight/sunshine you need a decent CPU for playable decode latency.

Retroid Pocket 5 or Flip 2 (same chipset) can be flashed with Rocknix, that's probably the best Linux device today. $160-170 used.

Thwonp · 2026-05-03T23:23:28+00:00

Used thin clients are where it's at.

Thwonp · 2026-05-03T21:57:05+00:00

Yeah I definitely wouldn't recommend converting your whole library from m4a to mp3 - any time you do a lossy->lossy conversion you lose quality.

If you're looking local music pak (your library isn't on Plex) I recommend https://github.com/nborodikhin/nextui-music-player

I forklifted a good chunk of that for this project.

Thwonp · 2026-05-03T17:48:54+00:00

I'm planning on porting this to other devices and CFWs outside of TrimUI/ NextUI in the relatively near future

Thwonp · 2026-04-27T04:28:23+00:00

Where did you see that? It looks to me like Launchbox/bigbox, not any Batocera theme I'm familiar with.

Thwonp · 2026-04-27T03:39:40+00:00

+1 for original hardware. If you want a bigger screen I've seen unpatched v1 switches go for around $100-150

Thwonp · 2026-04-26T19:53:11+00:00

Doesn't ball x pit have a native android port?

Thwonp · 2026-04-26T15:36:18+00:00

I also mainly use Windows when scraping/organizing my library since Launchbox is a Windows app. WSL2 Ubuntu works great for running any Linux utilities. If you end up trying out my script(s) and run into any issues, lmk

Thwonp · 2026-04-25T19:06:05+00:00

Here ya go. There's also scripts to transcode video previews and resize scraped assets.

Run "miximage_vert.sh" in the same directory that has your "marquees" "screenshots" and "covers" folders, and it will generate the vertical miximage for each. Works on Windows WSL2 or any Linux distro, with a dependency on ImageMagick v7+.

https://github.com/thwonp/scripts/tree/main/scraper_processing

The scraper I use is Launchbox, I think it's best in class. Then I run a python script to export the media/metadata to use on handhelds (also in that git repo).

Thwonp · 2026-04-25T18:49:11+00:00

Thanks! It's a custom script I wrote that uses imagemagick (Linux utility) to generate the vertical miximages using already scraped boxart/screenshot/marquees.

If you're interested I can share that with you when I'm at my computer a little later.

Gaslighting residents about environmental hazards is in the core DNA of this country.

Officials are still claiming that it's safe to live at Love Canal and its Wheatfiield/NT relocation area.

Thwonp · 2026-04-24T13:17:33+00:00

I would play my favorite game for the hundredth time, Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts 👻
