 ## BUGS
-- `rmDbusServices` may break sandboxing
-  - e.g. if the package ships a systemd unit which references $out, then make-sandboxed won't properly update that unit.
-  - `rmDbusServicesInPlace` is not affected
-- when moby wlan is explicitly set down (via ip link set wlan0 down), /var/lib/trust-dns/dhcp-configs doesn't get reset
-  - `ip monitor` can detect those manual link state changes (NM-dispatcher it seems cannot)
-  - or try dnsmasq?
-- trust-dns: can't recursively resolve api.mangadex.org
-  - nor `m.wikipedia.org` (`dyna.wikipedia.org`)
-  - and *sometimes* apple.com fails
-- sandbox: link cache means that if i update ~/.config/... files inline, sandboxed programs still see the old version
-- mpv: audiocast has mpv sending its output to the builtin speakers unless manually changed
-- mpv: no way to exit fullscreen video on moby
-  - uosc hides controls on FS, and touch doesn't support unhiding
-- `ssh` access doesn't grant same linux capabilities as login
-- syshud (volume overlay): when casting with `blast`, syshud doesn't react to volume changes
-- moby: kaslr is effectively disabled
-  - `dmesg | grep "KASLR disabled due to lack of seed"`
-  - fix by adding `kaslrseed` to uboot script before `booti`
-    - <https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/4352>
-    - not sure how that's supposed to work with tow-boot; maybe i should just update tow-boot
-- moby: bpf is effectively disabled?
-  - `dmesg | grep 'systemd[1]: bpf-lsm: Failed to load BPF object: No such process'`
-  - `dmesg | grep 'hid_bpf: error while preloading HID BPF dispatcher: -22'`
-- `s6` is not re-entrant
-  - so if the desktop crashes, the login process from `unl0kr` fails to re-launch the GUI
-- nwg-panel will sometimes create nested bars (happens maybe when i turn an external display off, then on?)
-- wg-home is unreachable for a couple minutes when switching between LAN/WAN/3G
-  - because the endpoint DNS changes.
-  - causes calls to not transfer from WiFi -> cellular.
+- ringer (i.e. dino incoming call) doesn't prevent moby from sleeping
+- `nix` operations from lappy hang when `desko` is unreachable
+  - could at least direct the cache to `http://desko-hn:5001`
 
 ## REFACTORING:

+# FLAKE FEEDBACK:
+# - if flake inputs are meant to be human-readable, a human should be able to easily track them down given the URL.
+#   - this is not the case with registry URLs, like `nixpkgs/nixos-22.11`.
+#   - this is marginally the case with schemes like `github:nixos/nixpkgs`.
+#   - given the *existing* `git+https://` scheme, i propose expressing github URLs similarly:
+#     - `github+https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs/tree/nixos-22.11`
+#     - this would allow for the same optimizations as today's `github:nixos/nixpkgs`, but without obscuring the source.
+#       a code reader could view the source being referenced simply by clicking the https:// portion of that URI.
+# - need some way to apply local patches to inputs.
+#

+# - `screen /dev/ttyUSB2 115200`
+#   - `AT+QGPSCFG="nmeasrc",1`

+# this process is automated by my `eg25-control` program and services (`eg25-control-powered`, `eg25-control-gps`)
+# - see the `modules/` directory further up this repository.
+#
+# now, something like `gpsd` can directly read from /dev/ttyUSB1,
+# or geoclue can query the GPS directly through modem-manager
+#
+# initial GPS fix can take 15+ minutes.
+# meanwhile, services like eg25-manager or eg25-control-freshen-agps can speed this up by uploading assisted GPS data to the modem.

+#   - shows/tracks which satellites the GPS is connected to; useful to understand fix characteristics
+# - `gnome-maps`: uses geoclue, has route planning
+# - `mepo`: uses gpsd, minimalist, flaky, and buttons are kinda hard to activate on mobile
+# - puremaps?
