Today I set up hypridle on my hyprland desktop build. It was not too bad, I'm
probably going to tweak it as it I go if it bothers me, for now I'm giving it a
shot. My monitor is sometimes a PITA to get to wake up, that is my main
concern.

``` bash
paru -S hypridle
```

Here is the config I landed on.

``` conf
# dim screen
general {
 lock_cmd = pidof hyprlock || hyprlock # avoid starting multiple hyprlock instances.
 before_sleep_cmd = loginctl lock-session # lock before suspend.
 after_sleep_cmd = hyprctl dispatch dpms on && ddcutil setvcp 10 100 # to avoid having to press a key twice to turn on the display.
}

listener {
 timeout = 120 # in seconds.
 on-timeout = ddcutil setvcp 10 5 # command to run when timeout has passed.
 on-resume = ddcutil setvcp 10 100 # command to run when activity is detected after timeout has fired.
}

# screen off
listener {
 timeout = 3600
 on-timeout = hyprctl dispatch dpms off
 on-resume = hyprctl dispatch dpms on
}

# warning screen is about to go off
listener {
 timeout = 315 # in seconds.
 on-timeout = notify-send "You are idle!" # command to run when timeout has passed.
}

listener {
 timeout = 330 # in seconds.
 on-timeout = loginctl lock-session
}

```

learned about `walker` launcher and `wev` wayland event debgugger.
