rycee: I just installed the nix package xssproxy (to have my screen saver off when I watch videos etc), anyways after installing xssproxy, does it automatically work, or do I need to set some things up for it to work(in home-manager that is)?(maybe in systemd)?
<rycee>
wolfman154: It seems like it wants to run as a service. So you can create a systemd unit for it.
<wolfman154>
rycee: I’ve never used systemd, is it difficult?
<rycee>
So basically like setting up a systemd service manually.

rycee: thanks, usually when I don’t touch my laptop for five minutes the screen will turn black, so my goal is to set up xssproxy to disable the black screen while I’m watching videos(keep screen on), will this syntax work for that?
<rycee>
I guess? I've never used xssproxy so I can't say whether it works.
<rycee>
I usually use mpv for videos and have `stop-screensaver = yes` in its configuration file.
<rycee>
I think that is the default actually so the configuration is probably unnecessary.
<wolfman154>
rycee: so for example, if I’m watching a YouTube video, by default the screen won’t go black?
<rycee>
With mpv? Yeah, it doesn't trigger the screensaver. At least for me. I use xscreensaver.
<rycee>
Playing directly from the youtube website it does trigger the screensaver, though. But I never do that for longer videos anyway so I don't mind :-)

rycee: what is mpv and could you paste bin the syntax please?
