All numbered lines are instructions. All non-number indented lines are code in Terminal.app (remove "$" when pasting in Terminal.app).

# PART 1

1. Make library folder visible again:
    $ chflags nohidden ~/Library/
2. Disable local time machine: 
    $ sudo tmutil disablelocal
3. Set offsite Time Machine to less often backup (every 43,200 seconds): 
    $ sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.backupd-auto StartInterval -int 43200
4. Repalce "Duplicate" with “Save As” in Save menus:
    $ defaults write -globalDomain NSUserKeyEquivalents -dict-add 'Save As...' '@$S’
