Exactly this. Services and software are not the same thing, you’re asking for a service recommendation and it can’t be open-source software because it’s not software.

I have never met anyone refer to “screen off” as “sleep”.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_mode

The terms everybody else are using are: “sleep” = “suspend to RAM” = “S3” and “hibernation” = “suspend to disk”.

Ok so what do you call “sleep”? You’ve now listed suspending, sleeping, and hibernating as 3 different things.

Suspending to disk usually requires a password on resume.

I have a lot of trouble with the window/pane management. Moving panes to a different window is rather difficult. The server>session>window>pane hierarchy also seems way too deep for my humble needs.

The fact that the active window syncs between sessions is also really odd. Why can’t I look at different windows on different devices?

unattended-upgrades can already do that actually, i e. you can configure the systemd timers. But that’s insufficient for my needs. Using a mirror seems like the best option so far.

Thanks, that sounds like the ideal setup. This solves my problem and I need an APT mirror anyway.

I am probably going to end up with a cronjob similar to yours. Hopefully I can figure out a smart way to share the pool to avoid download 3 copies from upstream.

Is there anything about staggered upgrades and staging environments in there? Because obviously I had read it before posting…

No, I’m asking how to have unattended-upgrades do that.
