  Ohh, can really recommend Bartender as well! If you have a lot of apps using the precious space in your statusbar (Docker; OneDrive; etc) this solves it nicely!

  I don’t see real advantages for partitioning this way that outweigh the negatives - for desktop usage. For servers having separate home (and/or other dirs) partitions is great, as user fluff won’t kill the ability tor ‘more important processes’ to store stuff. If everything is kept on a single partition, the user is essentially able to DoS the system by filling up space.

  So when I talk about watermelons I’m suddenly a loser :(?

  Well, depending on state of charge, supercharging goes up to 250kW. A state of the art PC (4090, Ryzen 9 etc) draws about 850-900 watts on full load. That means such a computer would use 0.004% of available power thus extremely negligible. And the APU (Ryzen-based media system) inside Tesla’s probably uses more around 200-400 watts under full load.

  I concur, in the Netherlands they are rarely ‘full’. Had to wait a couple of minutes during the Christmas craziness, but that about sums up my waiting time at self-checkouts.

  I’m a big fan of DigitalOcean, they’re very much geared to developers. Had a chat with them a couple of days ago and they seem good guys. IMHO way more ethical than Amazon.
