Making a Linux home server sleep on idle and wake on demand — the simple way It began with what seemed like a final mundane touch to my home server setup for hosting Time Machine backups: I wanted it to automatically sleep when idle and wake up again when needed. You know, sleep on idle — hasn’t Windows had that built in since like Windows 98? How hard could it be to configure on a modern Ubuntu install?

Invitees outside your household will need their own Prime membership going forward. Sharing online subscriptions used to be the norm, but in the last few years, we’ve seen various companies clamp down on it.
