Why HN links it
The only comment is a thread on qBittorrent v4.5.0 and text legibility in the dark theme, linking the post. The commenter calls one part of it "my favourite", but it does not judge the writing itself.

What Hacker News says?
As a workaround, with a USB remote controller[0] you can put a PC to sleep and wake it up by pressing the power button. That's what I did with my setup of a mac for game streaming[1]. In my experience, the sleep/wake functionality works on Windows and Linux as well, so it should work on this.
