battery VS gopsutil

Apple took this out of Mac OS somewhat recently. You can try to rely on their power management, but given battery decay is a common reason to buy a new machine I don’t trust them really.

If you have an Apple Silicon Mac I can recommend Battery [1]. It can keep your Mac at 80%, and even force discharge while plugged in to get there. It’s a CLI and status bar utility, I love it.

After trying Battery (https://github.com/actuallymentor/battery, it is Electron UI, big in size), I created batteryKid (https://github.com/alaneuler/batteryKid) with native Swift as a coding exercise out of curiosity.

Otherwise, some other things I like is keeping my battery at 80% with this app: https://github.com/actuallymentor/battery

FYI, on Apple Silicon Apple included a firmware-level "hard-switch" to limit the charge to 75/80% only. It was discovered by marcan while working on Asahi and in my experience it's much more convenient than the built-in ML-based solution (and also less hacky and bloated than AlDente).

See this discussion on GitHub[0] for the explanation and this snippet[1] for easy use.

Another AlDente alternate (which I use already) is Battery.

I just keep the charge always under 80% https://github.com/actuallymentor/battery

But not sure if its the same utility I use https://github.com/actuallymentor/battery Both commands: battery adapter off

Anyways, al dente didn’t do the job for me. I found this https://github.com/actuallymentor/battery it also discharges and keep it to whatever percentage you feel comfortable with with. So now it’s always on 80, which I prefer.

https://github.com/actuallymentor/battery free and does the same

The specific example I'm talking about is https://github.com/shirou/gopsutil. In the usage section the imports reference both "shirou/gopsutil/v3/mem" and "shirou/gopsutil/mem" but the GitHub project sits at "shirou/gopsutil" and the go.mod references "shirou/gopsutil/v3". How does go figure out what version it's supposed to use? And how does it figure out how to use an older version if the project root is now "gopsutil/v3"?

They use gopsutil to get the host runtime details and return them as response to HTTP requests to /status.

That might help you: https://github.com/shirou/gopsutil

Golang process metrics but cpu, io are missing for freebsd https://github.com/shirou/gopsutil

I'm trying to cross build on Linux a project which uses https://github.com/shirou/gopsutil.

Good project. One note: why you haven't used gopsutil library to extract system data?
