One thing I've been wondering about:Will too many sleep-wakeup-cycles
shorten your hardware's lifetime. E.g if I had a job to record the
news every hour, would the constant power-off / power-on cause the
hardware to faill sooner than simply letting it run 24/7?

I know power-on time used to be the most dangerous thing quite a few
years ago because of voltage spikes, but I'm not sure what it's like
with modern hardware.
