HOW TO: Record Audio and Screen at the same time on a Mac for FREE!
This tip is certainly good, but I prefer to use blackhole in combination with standard quicktime, then compress the video to mp4 without losing quality using handbrake.

Free Screen Recorder With System Audio
If you want free yet still powerful, check out the open-source kap. Pair it with something like BlackHole to reroute your system audio into kap and you've got a great combo without spending a dime.
Use the built in screen recorder with the cmd + shift + 5 hotkey and then pair it with the free internal audio capture software blackhole or vb-audio cable.

Show HN: Lofi, a Tiny Spotify Player
This is neat!
One note: for loopback on macOS, instead of iShowU Audio Capture Device, one could also use BlackHole, which is open source: https://github.com/ExistentialAudio/BlackHole
And can be installed with brew:
brew install blackhole-2ch

Home Lab Guide
While no broken out per plug, APC UPS network management cards provide total power output data (current, voltage, frequency, power) via SNMP, which you can log using a wide variety of tools.
And even without external tools, historical power usage logs are available via the APC Web UI.
While I don't currently log anything externally, I use an xbar[1] script[2] to display UPS output current in my Mac menu bar.

Show all smartphones on your UniFi network in the macOS menu bar (via XBar)
There’s some discussion in that in https://github.com/matryer/xbar/issues/691. Note that this XBar plugin likely won’t work out of the box since it uses some macOS-specific tools, but it can likely be ported.

A curated directory of 700 Mac menu bar apps
Then it will create a menu bar entry titled "Hello" with a single element in its drop-down menu, which will open Hacker News when clicked. You place your program in a specific directory for xbar to run, and it can be configured to run at a given frequency, e.g. once a minute to report the results of an API call or some measurement from your system, etc. Up to you to build the menu bar app you want.

Tailscale Funnel
As an exercise, I've implemented a basic (and very hacky) UI for tailscale(1) as an xbar [1] plugin: https://gist.github.com/notpushkin/aa36c2d34e3e7180aa66ed2a5...
[1]: https://xbarapp.com/
tailscaled isn't particularly stable on my machine though, so I guess I'll roll back to the closed source version. However, this could be a starting point for a Linux client!
