user-acpid: handle laptop lid events as a non-root user

non-root companion process for linux acpid ( https://sourceforge.net/projects/acpid2/ )

I’ve been trying to rig laptop lid events to wayland/pipewire controls, and it’s sort of tricky to do this with acpid, so I put together this utility (user-acpid) to read from acpid’s socket and handle events in the context of an interactive user session: https://gitlab.com/jokeyrhyme/user-acpid-rs

There are probably better ways to do this, but maybe someone else will find this useful

I’m accepting contributions for other ACPI events that you’re interested in, or other improvements

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

    Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
