-    - no custom activation scripts or services (uses `systemd-tmpfiles` and `.mount` units)

+    - persist things to encrypted storage which is unlocked at login time (pam_mount).

       `sane.programs.firefox.enableFor.user."<user>" = true;`
   - allows aggressive sandboxing any program:
-    - `sane.programs.firefox.sandbox.enable = true;  # wraps the program so that it isolates itself into a new namespace when invoked`
+    - `sane.programs.firefox.sandbox.method = "bwrap";  # sandbox with bubblewrap`

     - `sane.programs.firefox.sandbox.extraHomePaths = [ "Downloads" ];  # allow it read/write access to ~/Downloads`
     - integrated with `fs` and `persist` modules so that programs' config files and persisted data stores are linked into the sandbox w/o any extra involvement.
-- `modules/users/`
+- `modules/users.nix`

 ## BUGS
-- alacritty Ctrl+N frequently fails to `cd` to the previous directory
+- Signal restart loop drains battery
-- bunpen dbus sandboxing can't be *nested* (likely a problem in xdg-dbus-proxy)
+  - decrease s6 restart time?
-- dissent has a memory leak (3G+ after 24hr)
+- mpv `player-mode=pseudo-gui` swallows all loggin
-  - set a max memory use in the systemd service, to force it to restart as it leaks?
+- ringer (i.e. dino incoming call) doesn't prevent moby from sleeping
-- `rmDbusServices` may break sandboxing
+- sway mouse/kb hotplug doesn't work
-  - e.g. if the package ships a systemd unit which references $out, then make-sandboxed won't properly update that unit.
+- `nix` operations from lappy hang when `desko` is unreachable
-  - `rmDbusServicesInPlace` is not affected
+  - could at least direct the cache to `http://desko-hn:5001`
-- mpv: audiocast has mpv sending its output to the builtin speakers unless manually changed
-- syshud (volume overlay): when casting with `blast`, syshud doesn't react to volume changes
-- dissent: if i launch it without net connectivity, it gets stuck at the login, and never tries again
-- newsflash on moby can't play videos
-  - "open in browser" works though -- in mpv
-- gnome-maps can't use geoclue *and* openstreetmap at the same time
-  - get gnome-maps to speak xdg-desktop-portal, and this will be fixed
-- epiphany can't save cookies
-  - see under "preferences", cookies are disabled
-  - prevents logging into websites (OpenStreetMap)
-  - works when sandbox is disabled
-- rsync to ssh target fails because of restrictive sandboxing
-- `/mnt/.servo_ftp` retries every 10s, endlessly, rather than doing a linear backoff
-  - repro by `systemctl stop sftpgo` on servo, then watching `mnt-.servo_ftp.{mount,timer}` on desko
-- `ovpns` (and presumably `doof`) net namespaces aren't firewalled
-  - not great because things like `bitmagnet` expose unprotected admin APIs by default!
-- moby: NetworkManager doesn't connect to network until _after_ `systemctl restart NetworkManager`
-  - probably a dependency ordering issue
-    - e.g. we try to bring up NetworkManager before bringing up `lo`
-  - could be a perms issue (over-restrictive sandboxing)
 
 ## REFACTORING:
-- fold hosts/modules/ into toplevel modules/
+- REMOVE DEPRECATED `crypt` from sftpgo_auth_hook
-- add import checks to my Python nix-shell scripts
 - consolidate ~/dev and ~/ref
   - ~/dev becomes a link to ~/ref/cat/mine
 - fold hosts/common/home/ssh.nix -> hosts/common/users/colin.nix
-- don't hardcode IP addresses so much in servo
-- modules/netns: migrate `sane.netns.$NS.services = [ FOO ]` option to be `systemd.services.$FOO.sane.netns = NS`
-  - then change the ExecStartPre check to not ping `ipinfo.net` or whatever.
-    either port all of `sane-ip-check` to use a self-hosted reflector,
-    or settle for something like `test -eq "$(ip route get ...)" "$expectedGateway"`
 
 ### sops/secrets
+- rework secrets to leverage `sane.fs`
+- remove sops activation script as it's covered by my systemd sane.fs impl
 - user secrets could just use `gocryptfs`, like with ~/private?
   - can gocryptfs support nested filesystems, each with different perms (for desko, moby, etc)?
 
+### roles
+- allow any host to take the role of `uninsane.org`
+  - will make it easier to test new services?
+
 ### upstreaming
-- upstream blueprint-compiler cross fixes -> nixpkgs
+- add updateScripts to all my packages in nixpkgs
-- upstream cargo cross fixes -> nixpkgs
+- REVIEW/integrate jellyfin dataDir config: <https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/233617>
-- upstream `gps-share` package -> nixpkgs
 
 #### upstreaming to non-nixpkgs repos
-- gnome-calls: retry net connection when DNS is down
 - gtk: build schemas even on cross compilation: <https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/247844>
-- linux: upstream PinePhonePro device trees
-- nwg-panel: configurable media controls
-- nwg-panel / playerctl hang fix (i think nwg-panel is what should be patched here)
 
 
 ## IMPROVEMENTS:
-- servo: expand /boot to 2 GiB like all other hosts
-- moby: port to systemd-boot
-- sane-deadlines: show day of the week for upcoming items
-  - and only show on "first" terminal opened; not on Ctrl+N terminals
-- curlftpfs: replace with something better
-  - safer (rust? actively maintained? sandboxable?)
-  - handles spaces/symbols in filenames
-  - has better multi-stream perf (e.g. `sane-sync-music` should be able to copy N items in parallel)
-- firefox: open *all* links (http, https, ...) with system handler
-  - removes the need for open-in-mpv, firefox-xdg-open, etc.
-  - matrix room links *just work*.
-  - `network.protocol-handler.external.https = true` in about:config *seems* to do this,
-    but breaks some webpages (e.g. Pleroma)
-- associate http(s)://*.pdf with my pdf handler
-  - can't do that because lots of applications don't handle URIs
-  - could workaround using a wrapper that downloads the file and then passes it to the program
-- geary: replace with envelope
-  - likely requires updating envelope to a more recent version (for multi-accounting), and therefore updating libadwaita...
-
 ### security/resilience
+- validate duplicity backups!
+- encrypt more ~ dirs (~/archives, ~/records, ..?)
+  - best to do this after i know for sure i have good backups
 - /mnt/desko/home, etc, shouldn't include secrets (~/private)
   - 95% of its use is for remote media access and stuff which isn't in VCS (~/records)
-- harden systemd services:
-  - servo: `coturn.service`
-  - servo: `postgresql.service`
-  - servo: `postfix.service`
-  - servo: `prosody.service`
-  - servo: `slskd.service`
-  - desko: `usbmuxd.service`
-  - servo: `backup-torrents.service`
-  - servo: `dedupe-media.service`
-  - remove SGID /run/wrappers/bin/sendmail, and just add senders to `postdrop` group
 - port all sane.programs to be sandboxed
-  - sandbox `nix`
   - enforce that all `environment.packages` has a sandbox profile (or explicitly opts out)
-  - enforce granular dbus sandboxing (bunpen-dbus-*)
+  - revisit "non-sandboxable" apps and check that i'm not actually just missing mountpoints
-- make gnome-keyring-daemon less monolithic
+    - LL_FS_RW=/ isn't enough -- need all mount points like `=/:/proc:/sys:...`.
-  - no reason every application with _a_ secret needs to see _all_ secrets
+  - ensure non-bin package outputs are linked for sandboxed apps
-  - check out oo7-daemon?
+    - i.e. `outputs.man`, `outputs.debug`, `outputs.doc`, ...
-  - also unix-pass based provider: <https://github.com/mdellweg/pass_secret_service>
+  - lock down dbus calls within the sandbox
+    - otherwise anyone can `systemd-run --user ...` to potentially escape a sandbox
+    - <https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-dbus-proxy>
+  - remove `.ssh` access from Firefox!
+    - limit access to `~/knowledge/secrets` through an agent that requires GUI approval, so a firefox exploit can't steal all my logins
+  - port sane-sandboxed to a compiled language (hare?)
+    - it adds like 50-70ms launch time _on my laptop_. i'd hate to know how much that is on the pinephone.
+  - remove /run/wrappers from the sandbox path
+    - they're mostly useless when using no-new-privs, just an opportunity to forget to specify deps
 - make dconf stuff less monolithic
   - i.e. per-app dconf profiles for those which need it. possible static config.
-  - flatpak/spectrum has some stuff to proxy dconf per-app
+- canaries for important services
-- rework `programs` API to be just an overlay which wraps each binary in an env with XDG_DATA_DIRS etc set & the config/state links placed in /nix/store instead of $HOME.
+  - e.g. daily email checks; daily backup checks
+  - integrate `nix check` into Gitea actions?
 
 ### user experience
-- setup a real calendar system, for recurring events
+- xdg-desktop-portal shouldn't kill children on exit
-- rofi: sort items case-insensitively
+  - *maybe* a job for `setsid -f`?
-- rofi: enable mouse mode?
-- mpv: add media looping controls (e.g. loop song, loop playlist)
-- mpv: add/implement an extension to search youtube
-  - apparently `yt-dlp` does searching!
 - replace starship prompt with something more efficient
   - watch `forkstat`: it does way too much

+- cleanup waybar so that it's not invoking playerctl every 2 seconds

-  - many .mkv files do appear to be tagged: i'd just need to add support in my own tooling
-  - more aggressively cleanup non-media files after DL (ripper logos, info txts)
 - 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"
-  - add an auto-reply address (e.g. `reply-test@uninsane.org`) which reflects all incoming mail; use this (or a friend running this) for liveness checks
+
+### perf
+- debug nixos-rebuild times
+- 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!

-## migrating a host to a new drive
-### 1. copy persistent data off of the host:
-```sh
-$ mkdir -p mnt old/persist
-$ mount /dev/$old mnt
-$ rsync -arv mnt/persist/ old/persist/
-```
-
-### 2. flash the new drive
-```
-$ nix-build -A hosts.moby.img
-$ dd if=$(readlink ./result) of=/dev/$new bs=4M oflag=direct conv=sync status=progress
-```
-
-### 3.1. expand the partition
-```sh
-$ cfdisk /dev/$new
-# scroll to the last partition
-> Resize
-  leave at default (max)
-> Write
-  type "yes"
-> Quit
-```
-### 3.2. expand the filesystem
-```
-$ mkdir -p /mnt/$new
-$ mount /dev/$new /mnt/$new
-$ btrfs filesystem resize max /mnt/$new
-```
-
-### 4. copy data onto the new host
-```
-$ mkdir /mnt/$new
-$ mount /dev/$new /mnt/$new
-# if you want to use btrfs snapshots (e.g. snapper), then create the data directory as a subvolume:
-$ btrfs subvolume create /mnt/$new/persist
-# restore the data
-$ rsync -arv old/persist/ /mnt/$new/persist/
-```
-
-### 5. ensure/fix ownership
-```
-$ chmod -R a+rX /mnt/$new/nix
-# or, let the nix daemon do it:
-$ nix copy --no-check-sigs --to /mnt/$new $(nix-build -A hosts.moby)
-```
-
-### 6. insert the disk into the system, and boot!

+# 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.

-FULL OPERATION:
-- `clightning-sane status --full`
-  - `P$`: represents how many msats i've captured in fees from this channel.
-  - `COST`: rough measure of how much it's "costing" me to let my channel partner hold funds on his side of the channel.
-            this is based on the notion that i only capture fees from outbound transactions, and so the channel partner holding all liquidity means i can't capture fees on that liquidity.
