Screenlocking in xfce seems to require a screensaver to be installed (personal experience and [1]).

Provided this is correct and not due to a misconfiguration or some hidden option that I haven't found yet, xscreensaver should be a recommended dependency for xfce4-power-manager.

Because without a screensaver the screen is not locked after resume from suspend/hibernate, even if that option is selected in "Powermanagement/System" and/or "Session". This may be confusing for the user and may also be a security concern.

I have tested this with xfce4-screensaver-4.16.0 and xfce-4.18.0 in a SysV-system but I suppose that xscreensaver will work accordingly (see /usr/bin/xflock4).

My first ticket here, so I ask for some lenience. Thanks.

To complete the Apache-http installation i think it is state-of-the-art nowadays that web applications got secured by SSL (https). LetsEncrypt provides SSL certificates for free and the certificates are accepted all over the world (no self-signed-certificate issues).

LetsEncrypt provides an API to create and update certificates and do also refer to a tool which does the technical stuff. Me personally find this tool (certbot) horrible complicated and error prone.

IMHO, a nice alternative is uacme a C-coded client which is very easy to use.

Proposal for such a page:
In the 'lazarus'-branch where I have FreePascal&Lazarus (Delphi-like Pascal-IDE) added, i also added uacme. The tool is quite easy in terms of build (simple cmmi) as well as in usage. A crossref from Apache to uacme is added in apache.xml, too.

I would suggest to add --no-user to all the pip3 install commands in the "Python Modules" chapter. This will prevent situations where a reader mistakenly runs the command as a non-root user, but the command appears to succeed, since pip has installed the package into the per-user area.

From my experience testing the Python module recipes, such mistakes are fairly frequent.

With this change, the first paragraph in the "Important" block at the beginning of the chapter won't be necessary.
