Something I've done to help with this is wrap the bleeder threads with PTFE tape. It will make a one time seal on the non-taper threads, but it's enough for a flush

Oh shit we're old now?

If you go far enough into the countryside here it come full circle; I had a neighbor try to burn scrap LVP flooring

Hey fyi and for posterity, on SteamDeck I have the same issue and the cause is the same as outlined above (modern standby). I would love to hear more from folks who don't have this out of the box.

The fix is simple but I have to wonder why it's not set by default

Ideally the Steamdeck would come with hibernation after timeout and FDE enabled by default, but it doesn't. Still love it, and I'm glad/grateful it's open enough to enable these features on my own

Interesting to see this is so variable.

I got a Steam Deck OLED a few months ago. I haven't changed the standby behaviour at all. I can get a bit less than a week of standby + a few hours of gaming out of the box. Currently, my deck is on 52% charge after last charging it 4 days ago and playing ~3 hours of Silksong across those days.

Thank you for that link!

And yes, I'm surprised they don't do something like this out of the box. I really love my Steam Deck overall and I agree, the ability to tweak and enable these features really make it an amazing product. Especially in comparison to my Switch 2 which is great but 100% locked down.

No sleep battery drain issues on my OLED model. Stock OS. Got it a few months ago.

Can't agree on it. For whatever reason my deck OLED do have this issue. Do you use SDcard btw? Since it's really the only difference from a stock device.

I don't. I also have the highest end model FWIW.

BTW after making some research apparently OLED's could be waken up by Bluetooth devices and recently they added option to disable this:

They were private until I believe 2017 or 18. Not that it matters, the whole company only grew by acquisition

I came here to add this, as a x230 user, the other laptop that has Mercedes diesel like longevity is the 2012 Macbook Pro. I've kept numerous alive for friends.

Reading this on an X230! Check out a Kingsener battery (8400mAh) I get about 8 hours of mild use. [link](https://www.aliexpress.us/item/2251832160992805.html)

Thank you so much for that link! Also in the X230 club and my battery died not long ago. Will give that battery a shot. I think the display needs to be changed as well and also unsure if purchase a replacement. Do you have any idea about a good screen replacement?

Doesn't Vault self-promote in the case of single node failure?

I noticed you mention Vault lives in the US, I'm sure you've already heard of this pattern, but Vault (Enterprise) supports [multi-region clusters for performance and DR](https://developer.hashicorp.com/vault/tutorials/day-one-raft...)

Sorry for naivety, what is HELO in this context? I've been running a mail server with the other aforementioned things set correctly and tested; I've been able to reliably deliver mail to all of the big senders for years now, albeit on a small scale.

Am I missing something not knowing what HELO is ??

HELO (or more usually EHLO) is the initial greeting of SMTP protocol which includes the mail server's address.

AFAIK plenty ofservers will outright reject all mail if you only have an IP address and not a domain name there.

FWIW I've been using Steam+Proton on Arch for a month now, and it's like fucking magic. Other than the peculiarity of having two AMD graphics drivers to pick from, I'd say it's 90% there. No crashes, glitches, etc after picking the better of the two drivers for a particular game.
