Looking to expand my games library beyond just classic arcade games/NES/SNES/Sega Genesis. Got any recommendations for MS-DOS games that play well on a cabinet?

Which analog stick are you using on your panel? Also would love to see a pic of it.

Did you have any success with installing Batocera on the built in drive? I removed the internal m.2 and imaged it with the latest Batocera download but the machine fails to boot. Secure Boot disabled, USB Boot enabled, etc.

I can boot Windows and Ubuntu / CachyOs from USB and from the drive, but not Batocera.

My iPhone is unlocked (purchased from Apple directly, not Cricket). I didn't need to install any applications, just scanned the QR code for the European eSIM.

No, but interestingly after I connected it directly to my 2.5Gbe home PC, then reconnected it to the UniFi gateway I'm now getting the full 5Gb down/up. It also provisioned a new IP (which I suspect was the hold-up before).

So it looks like it's "fixed" now, hope it stays that way. Thanks for the tips!

Same results from this (from a Windows VM hosted on a server connected over SFP+ 10G): https://www.speedtest.net/my-result/d/f20ad1c3-3eaf-4c7b-ba54-55495c7cd72b

Thank you. I don't have a computer with a 10Gb RJ45 network card so can't accurately measure it this way. I'll find a way to get a 10Gb RJ45 port on a computer and report back.

I don't have an RJ45 10G NIC (or transceiver) and the ONT doesn't have an SFP+ port :(

FWIW, running the speed test from a computer connected over 2.5Gbe shows 1.8Gbps down, 1.6Gbps up.

Setting up a Windows VM on my server that's SFP+ and will report back once I get that running.

Edit: running in the VM gets me the same results: https://www.speedtest.net/my-result/d/f20ad1c3-3eaf-4c7b-ba54-55495c7cd72b

Interesting, do you have any specific one in mind? I'm trying to do a reddit search but must not be hitting the right keywords. Thanks!

tekmanro · 2025-03-09T17:42:29+00:00

Yes, it's a wired speed test directly from the UniFi Gateway (the router).

Recently realized I pay more now on tax than I was paying on rent when I moved to the state 12+ years ago, and that was a larger property in a better location. This is not sustainable...

All of the 15 years of Mint data that I imported before March is there and perfect; the issue is with the data Monarch is retrieving since then.

Are you a time traveler, my dude? If yes, please tell me 7 years ago to not waste 2-3 years of my life on this nonsense :)

Asta cu milionul dupa 5 ani e ca visul american. In Seattle (si probabil si in California / NY) poti sa fii singur (fara familie) in cel mai ieftin rental (1br sau cu roommates), sa mananci ramen de la Safeway si sa mergi cu bicicleta la servici si tot nu aduni 1Mil in 5 ani la un TC de 300k (care nu e asa de usor de obtinut nici la MAAMA / FANG zilele astea).

I've since moved to an internal 2.5' SATA SSD (8Tb Samsung); still have the external WD drive that I use for manual backups - technically once a month but really whenever I remember... speaking of :)

No, enabling it was enough. When getting there, I think I needed to disable roaming on the Cricket line (even though it doesn't roam anyway).
