 ### upstreaming
-- split out a trust-dns module
-  - see: <https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/205866#issuecomment-1575753054>
+- 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

 - 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.

 ### user experience
-- firefox/librewolf: don't show browserpass/sponsorblock/metamask "first run" on every boot
+- 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
 - moby: improve gPodder launch time
-- moby: replace jellyfin-desktop with jellyfin-vue?
-    - allows (maybe) to cache media for offline use
-    - "newer" jellyfin client
-    - not packaged for nix
-- find a nice desktop ActivityPub client
+- moby: theme GTK apps (i.e. non-adwaita styles)
+  - especially, make the menubar collapsible
+  - try Gradience tool specifically for theming adwaita? <https://linuxphoneapps.org/apps/com.github.gradienceteam.gradience/>
 - 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)
-- auto-mount servo
 - have xdg-open parse `<repo:...> URIs (or adjust them so that it _can_ parse)
-- `sane.programs`: auto-populate defaults with everything from `pkgs`
-- zsh: disable "command not found" corrections
-- sxmo: allow rotation to the upside-down position
-    - see: <repo:mil/sxmo-utils:scripts/core/sxmo_autorotate.sh>
-    - all orientations *except* upside down are supported
-- sxmo: launch with auto-rotation enabled
 - sane-bt-search: show details like 5.1 vs stereo, h264 vs h265
+- 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"
 
 ### 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?
-- fix OOM for large builds like webkitgtk
-    - these use significant /tmp space.
-    - either place /tmp on encrypted-cleared-at-boot storage
-        - which probably causes each CPU load for the encryption
-    - **or set up encrypted swap**
-        - encrypted swap could remove the need for my encrypted-cleared-at-boot stuff
+- 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:
-- add a FTP-accessible file share to servo
-    - just /var/www?
 - migrate MAME cabinet to nix
     - boot it from PXE from servo?
 - enable IPv6
