That's privileged information for regime insiders only!

Thank you for the clarification.

Retracted the original comment. It's nice to hear about some positive changes. That's rare these days!

I've never used Proxmox, so I can't say. But TLP is a utility that starts at boot. I've used it with virtualbox running, so if Proxmox runs atop a host operating system, I don't imagine that it would interfere with TLP.

As an additional note, I usually set the min/max thresholds at 40/80, so the battery will charge any time it's plugged in and below 40% and stops charging when it reaches 80%.

Nice to know that the latitudes work with TLP, since it opens up another set of possibilities for the future!

Batch scripts run on my locked-down work laptop. Powershell requires administrator privileges that I don't have.

I don't make the rules, I just evade them :D

I use a 2011 ThinkPad X120e as an FTP/Syncthing server. It was underpowered as a laptop from day one, but still works fine as a lightweight server. The best thing about ThinkPads is that TLP allows you to set min/max charging thresholds, so that you can keep an old battery in good shape for ... well, I'll let you know. This one's 14 years old and still has a four-hour run time.

One thing I'd like to try is "Wake My Potato" for shutdown / automatic restart when a power outage occurs.

If I have to use windows, I write batch scripts. They still work and there is a lot of documentation online. There's even a good set of GUI dialogs with WizApp (or the Zenity port).

That was a great series. I really enjoyed the games. There was a lot of room to skate and the fastest players had an opportunity to put on quite a show.

Pro-active law enforcement seems to have disappeared in the sourthern interior of BC for over a decade. The police either enforce the law in highly-publicized campaigns (it's Christmas, so we're going to pull you over...) or respond to calls from the public.

 

Just stumbled across this in the "popular" feed on Pinboard. https://pinboard.in/popular/

I thought it might be of interest to people here.

I mentioned a list of Canadian retailers that I started in a thread about avoiding Amazon (https://old.lemmy.sdf.org/post/32698876) and otter@lemmy.ca suggested that I post it here. So here it is:

If you're not on Github and you want to make an addition, pm me with the store name and a link. :)

 

It's in the 8th period. Toronto Metropolitan University vs. Mount Royal.
