![]() ![]() Keeping the lid open at a small angle (say 30 degrees) to improve ventilation.To reduce heating of the computer, I suggest: To enable sleep again: sudo pmset -a disablesleep 0 Last, but not least, this is makes it easier to accidentally put a running MacBook into a bag which may result in overheating and subsequent damage to system components (not applicable to a MacBook being used as a server and kept on a desk or in a closet).The system will not sleep even if the lid is closed or if you try forcing sudo pmset sleepnow.The -a flag applies the setting to all power sources (battery, charger, and UPS).This will also disable sleep in the Apple () menu in Finder: ![]() To prevent your computer from sleeping, you can completely disable sleep (the setting will persist rebooting). ![]() Using the pmset command line utility: sudo pmset -a displaysleep 1 To keep the display off as much as possible, set the display timeout to 1-minute. I would like a consistent UNIX style machine that I can access from anywhere for messing around during software development. Programs include running a single development node Kafka and some databases. I intend to access it using SSH via a command line on another computer. I intend to leave it at home, plugged in, all the time. I have a late 2013 MBP 15" retina 2.3Ghz i7 16GB RAM 512GB SSD Nvidia 750M Any tips on security, and managing heat would be great too. I don't mind having the lid open if required, but I don't want the screen on (to save power). How do I keep the machine running non-stop, with the least power wastage as possible? I know I can run it in clamshell mode, but since I'll be SSH'ing into the machine I don't want to connect an external monitor or keyboard/mouse to it. I've successfully accessed it remotely using SSH. The RAM and CPU requirements pushes me to expensive AWS servers which would cost hundreds of dollars a year, but since I already have a spare, powerful MBP not doing anything, I want to turn this into my workload machine. I want to be able to access the environment from the internet, so I can interact with it from any computer even when I'm away from home. I often need a stable development environment that has enough CPU and RAM to handle demanding applications (like Confluent), for personal/hobbie use. ![]()
