      If systems that run Linux were to power down, that’s it for almost all of the internet.

        If people could just be kind and turn off the server when they leave.

        If you close a tab, get a prompt; “it looks like you’re leaving this website, would you like to power down the server(s)?”

          And all websites use wake-on-lan over the internet so the first person every day just starts the server and the last one turns off the lights!

            That’s kinda how serverless works. You rent cpu time from a bigger cloud vendor and only spin up your servers when there is traffic.
