said Dr. Nikolaus Klepp:
| Sorry, I have FreeBSD 13 + TDE, but I never use(d) suspend on any system

| months ago on one of the freebsd mailinglists.
Suspend/hibernate have never in my experience worked reliably on any
Unix-like machine I've ever used. Never.
Last time I actually had this "feature" work as advertised was running OS/2
on a Zeos Contenda in 1993. Seriously.
Best to do an orderly shutdown and reboot when needed, or if it's a desktop
enable power saving wherever possible -- including blank screen as a
screensaver; it powers down the monitor(s) and unless you set it to lock
it comes right back to life if you hit a key or move the pointing device.
The amount of time lost in trying to get suspend/hibernate to work is far
in excess of the amount of time one would save if it worked as advertised
to begin with.
