+1 for Porkbun. I use tld-list.com to shop around for registrars when I need a TLD that Porkbun don't handle.

>Somehow my quite limited disk space (500GB) is getting lower and lower and lower to the point where spotlight will stop working.

I know you didn't ask, but check your Time Machine snapshots in Disk Utility. If you prefer a CLI approach, this should work:

  for d in $(tmutil listlocalsnapshotdates | grep "-"); do sudo tmutil deletelocalsnapshots $d; done

I have a terrible work / non-work balance, and one trivial habit I've established is turning off my (Mac mini & MacBook Air) computers & screens when my work time is done. I don't want it to be trivially easy for me to just do one more thing…there be dragons. My Saturday mornings are more often markers for running Onyx[1] for maintenance.
