   - install [devhelp](https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Devhelp)  (gnome)
 - have xdg-open parse `<repo:...> URIs (or adjust them so that it _can_ parse)
 - sane-bt-search: show details like 5.1 vs stereo, h264 vs h265
+  - maybe just color these "keywords" in all search results?
 - uninsane.org: make URLs relative to allow local use (and as offline homepage)
 - email: fix so that local mail doesn't go to junk
   - git sendmail flow adds the DKIM signatures, but gets delivered locally w/o having the sig checked, so goes into Junk
   - could change junk filter from "no DKIM success" to explicit "DKIM failed"
-- sxmo: don't put all deps on PATH
-  - maybe: use resholve to hard-code them
-    - this is the most "correct", but least patchable
-  - maybe: express each invocation as a function in sxmo_common.sh
-    - this will require some patching to handle `exec <foo>` style
-  - maybe: save original PATH and reset it before invoking user files
 
 ### perf
 - add `pkgs.impure-cached.<foo>` package set to build things with ccache enabled
   - every package here can be auto-generated, and marked with some env var so that it doesn't pollute the pure package set
   - would be super handy for package prototyping!
-- why does nixos-rebuild switch take 5 minutes when net is flakey?
-  - trying to auto-mount servo?
-  - something to do with systemd services restarting/stalling
-  - maybe wireguard & its refresh operation, specifically?
 - get moby to build without binfmt emulation (i.e. make all emulation explicit)
   - then i can distribute builds across servo + desko, and also allow servo to pull packages from desko w/o worrying about purity
