-    - symlinked to some other path
-    - populated with some statically-defined data
-    - populated according to some script

 - `modules/persist/`
-  - my implementation of impermanence, built atop the above `fs` module, with a few notable features:
-    - no custom activation scripts or services (uses `systemd-tmpfiles` and `.mount` units)
-    - "persist" cache directories -- to free up RAM -- but auto-wipe them on mount
-      and encrypt them to ephemeral keys so they're unreadable post shutdown/unmount.
-    - persist to encrypted storage which is unlocked at login time.
- `modules/programs/`
-  - like nixpkgs' `programs` options, but allows both system-wide or per-user deployment.
-  - allows `fs` and `persist` config values to be gated behind program deployment:
-    - e.g. `/home/<user>/.mozilla/firefox` is persisted only for users who
-      `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.whitelistWayland = true;  # allow it to render a wayland window`
-    - `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/`
-  - convenience layer atop the above modules so that you can just write
-    `fs.".config/git"` instead of `fs."/home/colin/.config/git"`
-  - simplified `systemd.services` API
+    - my alternative to the Impermanence module.
+    - this builds atop `modules/fs/` to achieve things stock impermanence can't:
+        - persist things to encrypted storage which is unlocked at login time (pam_mount).
+        - "persist" cache directories -- to free up RAM -- but auto-wipe them on mount
+          and encrypt them to ephemeral keys so they're unreadable post shutdown/unmount.

 ## BUGS
- alacritty Ctrl+N frequently fails to `cd` to the previous directory
- bunpen dbus sandboxing can't be *nested* (likely a problem in xdg-dbus-proxy)
- dissent has a memory leak (3G+ after 24hr)
-  - set a max memory use in the systemd service, to force it to restart as it leaks?
- `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
- 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)
+- why i need to manually restart `wireguard-wg-ovpns` on servo periodically
+  - else DNS fails
+- fix epiphany URL bar input on moby

 ## REFACTORING:
- fold hosts/modules/ into toplevel modules/
- 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
- user secrets could just use `gocryptfs`, like with ~/private?
-  - can gocryptfs support nested filesystems, each with different perms (for desko, moby, etc)?
+- attach secrets to the thing they're used by (sane.programs)
+- rework secrets to leverage `sane.fs`
+- remove sops activation script as it's covered by my systemd sane.fs impl
+
+### 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
- upstream cargo cross fixes -> nixpkgs
- upstream `gps-share` package -> nixpkgs
+- split out a sxmo module usable by NUR consumers
+- bump nodejs version in lemmy-ui
+- add updateScripts to all my packages in nixpkgs
+- fix lightdm-mobile-greeter for newer libhandy
+- port zecwallet-lite to a from-source build
+- REVIEW/integrate jellyfin dataDir config: <https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/233617>
+- remove `libsForQt5.callPackage` broadly: <https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/180841>

 #### 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)
+- sxmo: add new app entries


 ## 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
- /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-*)
- make gnome-keyring-daemon less monolithic
-  - no reason every application with _a_ secret needs to see _all_ secrets
-  - check out oo7-daemon?
-  - also unix-pass based provider: <https://github.com/mdellweg/pass_secret_service>
- 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
- 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.
+- validate duplicity backups!
+- encrypt more ~ dirs (~/archives, ~/records, ..?)
+  - best to do this after i know for sure i have good backups
+- have `sane.programs` be wrapped such that they run in a cgroup?
+  - at least, only give them access to the portion of the fs they *need*.
+  - Android takes approach of giving each app its own user: could hack that in here.
+  - **systemd-run** takes a command and runs it in a temporary scope (cgroup)
+    - presumably uses the same options as systemd services
+    - see e.g. <https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/113903#issuecomment-857296349>
+  - flatpak does this, somehow
+  - apparmor?  SElinux?  (desktop) "portals"?
+  - see Spectrum OS; Alyssa Ross; etc
+  - bubblewrap-based sandboxing: <https://github.com/nixpak/nixpak>
+- canaries for important services
+  - e.g. daily email checks; daily backup checks
+  - integrate `nix check` into Gitea actions?

 ### user experience
- setup a real calendar system, for recurring events
- rofi: sort items case-insensitively
- 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 nwg-panel so that it's not invoking swaync every second
-  - nwg-panel: doesn't know that virtual-desktop 10/TV exists

-  - coreboot implements DRAM training for rk3399: <https://gitlab.com/vicencb/kevinboot/-/blob/master/cb/sdram.c>
- moby: tune keyboard layout
- SwayNC/nwg-panel: add option to change audio output
- Newsflash: sync OPML on start, same way i do with gpodder
- better podcasting client?
- hardware upgrade (OnePlus)?
+  - shopping list: <https://linuxphoneapps.org/apps/ro.hume.cosmin.shoppinglist/>
+  - offline Wikipedia
+- SwayNC:
+  - don't show MPRIS if no players detected
+    - this is a problem of playerctld, i guess
+  - add option to change audio output
+  - fix colors (red alert) to match overall theme
+- moby: tune GPS
+  - run only geoclue, and not gpsd, to save power?
+  - tune QGPS setting in eg25-control, for less jitter?
+  - direct mepo to prefer gpsd, with fallback to geoclue, for better accuracy?
+  - configure geoclue to do some smoothing?
+  - manually do smoothing, as some layer between mepo and geoclue/gpsd?
+- moby: show battery state on ssh login
+- moby: improve gPodder launch time
+- sxmo: port to swaybar like i use on desktop
+  - users in #sxmo claim it's way better perf
+- sxmo: fix youtube scripts (package youtube-cli)
+- 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
+- moby: theme GTK apps (i.e. non-adwaita styles)
+  - combine multiple icon themes to get one which has the full icon set?
+  - get adwaita-icon-theme to ship everything even when cross-compiled?
+  - especially, make the menubar collapsible
+  - try Gradience tool specifically for theming adwaita? <https://linuxphoneapps.org/apps/com.github.gradienceteam.gradience/>
+- phog: remove the gnome-shell runtime dependency to save hella closure size

 #### non-moby
- RSS: integrate a paywall bypass
-  - e.g. self-hosted [ladder](https://github.com/everywall/ladder) (like 12ft.io)
- RSS: have podcasts get downloaded straight into ~/Videos/...
-  - and strip the ads out using Whisper transcription + asking a LLM where the ad breaks are
- neovim: integrate ollama
- neovim: better docsets (e.g. c++, glib)
- firefox: persist history
+- neovim: set up language server (lsp; rnix-lsp; nvim-lspconfig)
+- Helix: make copy-to-system clipboard be the default
+- firefox/librewolf: persist history
  - just not cookies or tabs
+- package Nix/NixOS docs for Zeal
+  - install [doc-browser](https://github.com/qwfy/doc-browser)
+  - this supports both dash (zeal) *and* the datasets from <https://devdocs.io> (which includes nix!)
+  - 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?
- transmission: apply `sane-tag-media` path fix in `torrent-done` script
-  - 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
+- 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
+

 ## NEW FEATURES:
- migrate Kodi box to nix
 - migrate MAME cabinet to nix
  - boot it from PXE from servo?
+- deploy to new server, and use it as a remote builder
 - enable IPv6
+- package lemonade lemmy app: <https://linuxphoneapps.org/apps/ml.mdwalters.lemonade/>

+# 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.

+# pinephone GPS happens in EG25 modem
+# serial control interface to modem is /dev/ttyUSB2
+# after enabling GPS, readout is /dev/ttyUSB1
+#
+# minimal process to enable modem and GPS:
+# - `echo 1 > /sys/class/modem-power/modem-power/device/powered`
+# - `screen /dev/ttyUSB2 115200`
+#   - `AT+QGPSCFG="nmeasrc",1`
+#   - `AT+QGPS=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.
+#
+# support/help:
+# - geoclue, gnome-maps
+#   - irc: #gnome-maps on irc.gimp.org
+#   - Matrix: #gnome-maps:gnome.org  (unclear if bridged to IRC)
+#
+# programs to pair this with:
+# - `satellite-gtk`: <https://codeberg.org/tpikonen/satellite>
+#   - 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?
+# - osmin?
+#
+# known/outstanding bugs:
+# - `systemctl start eg25-control-gps` can the hang the whole system (2023/10/06)
+#   - i think it's actually `eg25-control-powered` which does this (started by the gps)
+#   - best guess is modem draws so much power at launch that other parts of the system see undervoltage
+#   - workaround is to hard power-cycle the system. the modem may not bring up after reboot: leave unpowered for 60s and boot again.

-# during session creation:
-# - client sends Allocate request
-# - server replies error 401, providing a realm and nonce
-# - client uses realm + nonce + shared secret to construct an auth key & call Allocate again
-# - server replies Allocate Success Response
-# - source: <https://stackoverflow.com/a/66643135>
-#
-# N.B. this safest implementation routes all traffic THROUGH A VPN
-# - that adds a lot of latency, but in practice turns out to be inconsequential.
-#   i guess ICE allows clients to prefer the other party's lower-latency server, in practice?
-# - still, this is the "safe" implementation because STUN works with IP addresses instead of domain names:
-#   1. client A queries the STUN server to determine its own IP address/port.
-#   2. client A tells client B which IP address/port client A is visible on.
-#   3. client B contacts that IP address/port
-#   this only works so long as the IP address/port which STUN server sees client A on is publicly routable.
-#   that is NOT the case when the STUN server and client A are on the same LAN
-#   even if client A contacts the STUN server via its WAN address with port reflection enabled.
-#   hence, there's no obvious way to put the STUN server on the same LAN as either client and expect the rest to work.
-# - there an old version which *half worked*, which is:
-#   - run the turn server in the root namespace.
-#   - bind the turn server to the veth connecting it to the VPN namespace (so it sends outgoing traffic to the right place).
-#   - NAT the turn port range from VPN into root namespace (so it receives incomming traffic).
-#   - this approach would fail the prosody conversations.im check, but i didn't notice *obvious* call routing errors.

-#   for testing, choose any node listed on <https://1ml.com>
