`caffeinate` is a game changer. Now I can keep my Slack status green without sitting in an empty zoom room. #WFHLife ;)

I use `caffeinate -dsim` permanently. In short I ask the computer to avoid any kind of sleep.

  -d Create an assertion to prevent the display from sleeping.
  -i Create an assertion to prevent the system from idle sleeping.
  -m Create an assertion to prevent the disk from idle sleeping.
  -s Create an assertion to prevent the system from sleeping. This
     assertion is valid only when system is running on AC power.
