No. It's fine enough for background tunes or if you're limited to a dorm room, but you'll get much better sound for a similar size from the Echo Dot (but you'll pay a little more, and you won't get as cute of colors!)

How many people/services have superuser access to your PostgreSQL cluster(s)? Did you ever ask why your software engineers might need it? Or your BI team? Why those use cases require same privileges as someone who can drop your databases? The answer isn't because these operations are inherently dangerous - it's because PostgreSQL historically offered limited options for operational access or simply because not enough people are aware of the options.

Keeping SSH sessions alive with systemd-inhibit

In my Home Lab network I use my desktop for most of my development. Since it’s a desktop and not a server it abides by the power policy setting I have selected. This works great unless I’m working a remote session from anything else such as my laptop, cell, etc. My usual workflow is just an ssh session with tmux, where I wake up the system by issuing a Wake on LAN (wol) from an always on server. After the typical timeout around 30 mins the system goes to sleep which drops the session and forces
