    I don’t understand people who don’t turn off the computers. Like why does it need to be on when you’re not using it. Linux boots up almost instantly nowadays. And you can save your session so everything is exactly where you left it if that’s what you’re worried about

        My longest running machine at the moment: 00:31:08 up 378 days, 5:12, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

        My old raspberry pi 1b, which I use as an audio server for my stereo receiver. I typically have 4-5 machines running at any time performing various network-related tasks. I keep user terminals up as well, if they don’t consume much (<=10w). GPU hogs get put to sleep.
