I use suspend-then-hibernate on my laptop (arch). It has a Nvidia graphics card, so it gives problems sometimes, but it mostly works fine.

I set it up like that in case I disconnect the laptop, so it will hibernate before running out of battery; it will also hibernate after 16h of being suspended (to save power), but I usually turn it back on before that.

I like suspending because my laptop has an HDD, and it is way faster to turn it back on this way.

Maybe there’s not a huge difference, but the power usage of suspending is definitely lower, since only the RAM is getting power. CPU and disks have some idle power consumption, and you can have some background processes that wouldn’t be executed while suspended.

I’m guessing that it notifies you before the cert expires, because I already have a great notification system for the server not working: I’ll always get a text from a friend within minutes asking why it’s not working :P

France is bacon… Just kidding. Not exactly mishearing, but I misunderstood “the best defense is a good offense” as if you defend super well, you’d attack your opponent with your defense. It didn’t make much sense until I realized you’re supposed to attack in order to defend…
