Tips

Windows Computer Shuts Off​

I run this script once a day, because group policies change my laptop to shut off more frequently.

  • Save the code below as a script change-sleep-settings.sh and run this once a day.

In addition, modify your "Balance" Power settings to your liking, as this script will use the Balance Power settings.

#!/usr/bin/env bash

## Never sleep/turn off if plugged in.
powercfg /change monitor-timeout-ac 0

## List the Power scheme if it ever changes
powercfg /list

## Set the Power scheme back to Balance
powercfg -setactive 381b4222-f694-41f0-9685-ff5bb260df2e

## List the Power scheme again
powercfg /list

SSH Control Sequences​

Knowing the SSH control sequences can be helpful.

For example, if a SSH session is ever in a "stuck" or frozen state, run ~. to force terminate it.
