Sorry for the bad posting :/. If someone is interested here is my actual post at https://lemmy.ml/post/12594067

Hello everyone !

I have no idea if I’m in the right community, because it’s a mix of hardware and some light code/command to extract the power consumption out of my old laptop. I need some assistance and if someone way more intelligent than me could check the code and give feedback :)

Important infos

• 12 year old ASUS N76 laptop
• Bare bone server running Debian 12
• No battery (died long time ago)
• Running a dozens docker containers.

Because I have no battery connected to my laptop I’m unable to use tools like lm-sensors, powerstat, powertop. But from the following ressource I can estimate the power based on the Energy.

 undefined

    
time=1
declare T0=($(sudo cat /sys/class/powercap/*/energy_uj)); sleep $time; declare T1=($(sudo cat /sys/class/powercap/*/energy_uj))
