After a catastrophe like that left me on my first save with no power for 3 hours (no coal on the lines and a huge mess of wiring to debug in order to isolate the generation and bootstrap it once again) I went nuts on the second one. I decided that guaranteeing each power plant could self start was the way, I did that by keeping a single extra disconnected generator with enough resources to restart each power tier separate from the whole grid just by changing a couple of wires and maybe moving a pipe or belt (this was before switches)

Finally on my 1.0 save I even made 3 separate distribution grids: on my highway, on poles and on train tracks connecting each section of generation, production and power storage separately to all 3 via priority switches just in case I needed to do some complicated procedure to restart the plant like connecting just coal to batteries until there was enough power to start fuel generation and then gradually reconnect several areas to fuel while I recharged batteries from coal to restart nuclear.

Never ended up needing them because by then I knew better, but it made a nice looking control panel

    For a simple setup you can do discreetly and without much technical knowledge try wifite on an old phone running netrunner (Kali for phones) and then crack the password on your home PC, or if they have wps enabled (surprisingly common on shitty corpo office WiFi where I live) the phone might just give you the password directly

    When you turn it on by the menu button (8bitdo logo button) hold either a or b for xinput or dimput mode, on ximput it only has the same buttons as an Xbox controller, but on dinput you get the extra buttons the gyro and the accelerometer

    Update the firmware on a windows VM and then turn it on while holding b to go I to dimput, if you want it to go back to x input turn it of and then on while holding a.

    On dimput you can use the extra shoulders, the paddles, the gyro and the accelerometer

    I just have a heavily customised and themed KDE setup that I've been updating and bringing with me from machine to machine over the years, I've even set up all relevant dotfiles on a syncthing sync so any changes I make are reflected between my desktop and laptop
