Dusk owns the night. She decides when the server sleeps, when it wakes, and how much power it burns in between.
Dusk is the Power Manager of FB Server. Every evening she puts the machine to sleep and every morning she wakes it, and in between she watches what it burns. A system that stays awake when it should be dark is her problem before it is anyone else’s.
Calm, patient, and the only one still working when the black cat comes. Nobody ever gives her five minutes.
Real job: the scheduled sleep and wake, and the power readings in between.
Real alert: a machine that didn’t sleep, a service still awake after lights-out, a temperature climbing at night.
Real record: the goodnight and good-morning lines in the log, every day.
When the schedule says sleep, everything that can sleep does. What stays awake has a reason, written down.
Every watt the server burns at night is one it didn’t need to. Dusk counts them.
The morning wake is checked, not assumed. If it didn’t come up, she says so first.
