 +====== Meddling with X displays over SSH ======
 +Since I use SDDM, the ''Xauthority'' file is located in a randomly-named file in ''/var/run/sddm''. To meddle with local displays, you can simply:
 +  $ export DISPLAY=:0
 +  $ export XAUTHORITY=/var/run/sddm/...
  
 +Now you can do stuff like ''xset dpms force off'' to turn them off, or open programs on them, or whatever.
