    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.

    > the 4K monitors the author recommends are not good for macOS due to them not supporting native retina scaling above 1080p

    Is this true even with the help of 3rd party apps?

    My 3840x1600 ultrawide has that problem using the native screen resolution tools but I can get it to full-res HiDPI using BetterDisplay [0].

    Very nice! love that it is all in swift, will give a closer look later but looks beautiful.

    Recently went through this with a react native app with a ton of old dependencies and it was fairly painful. Wrote a couple not quite as beautiful scripts to help so I wish I had this before.
