Thanks. I agree with the "worst thing" comment. I can always clean the machine again!

This was an entertaining episode. Lots of great anecdotes ... and a good look into what it was like to work for different typewriter companies and shops over several decades.

I cleaned my typewriter with Varsol, but I've been reluctant to oil anything. I note that you're very careful to minimize the amount of oil. Do you find that you get any oily "gunk" buildup over time?

That's privileged information for regime insiders only!

yawn :)

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%.

For shorts, nothing tops The Big Snit.

"Quit shaking your eyes!" "Stop sawing the furniture!"

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.
