I have more ideas to post; I've just been too busy.

I'm worried about the wear on my drives spinning up and down so much? Maybe it isn't such a big deal. It is the most stressful time for spinning drives, though.

New comment by nwb99 in "Arch Linux Btrfs with hibernation in a swapfile"

That's exactly what I did to make all of this work. While the Arch Wiki is the best thing since sliced bread, some things on it are spread out or aren't clear: given some of the sections actually have some talk going on. That was my experience trying to figure out the topic of my blog post. Anyway, I produced the blog post for fun and in hopes it may help someone who is confused or unclear as to why something they do may not be working. I 100% cited those exact wiki articles in my blog post and recommended the reader to go through them prior to doing anything else (especially if the configuration was slightly different, i.e., UEFI vs BIOS). While I agree that RTFM is a good attitude to have, it has too many gate-keeping vibes and can discourage new users from learning the ropes. Some people need a little bit of hand holding to get going before being let loose. I was once that person, and I wanted to share my experience with others. Nonetheless, I still agree with your comment. Just thought I'd clear it up some.

I believe the US legally defines the US customary units by metric counterparts anyway. https://www.nist.gov/pml/owm/si-units-length

Still, I'm probably the 1% of 1% of Americans who uses Celsius in daily life, except where I cannot (my car won't let me do hybrid miles and Celsius, ugh).
