This is ohm suspending the laptop after 20 seconds of inactivity,
and network traffic waking it up shortly after.

I guess we could "fix" it by not undimming the display if
we wake up just because of network activity?

There's no (easy) way to tell whether your AC has an
infinite amount of cheap energy or of your grandpa is
cranking to keep the laptop going.

I also find it annoying, and I guess we could make the idle
timeout tunable somehow.  For now, you can "tune" it by
killing ohm.
