(Disclaimer of sorts: I wrote that package as well, a long time ago. For the same machine I'm hoping to migrate to Guix soon.) Yes please! Since the main purpose of this package is peace of mind, I consider it worth patching. In my very scientific tests of pretend-dropping my laptop and watching the HDD LED, the default seemed needlessly short. I've seen expensive things bounce about for much longer... Should I add a separate .patch file for this, or just do it inline like Nix? Kind regards, T G-R
