 ## BUGS
+- moby: megapixels doesn't load in sandbox
+- when moby wlan is explicitly set down (via ip link set wlan0 down), /var/lib/trust-dns/dhcp-configs doesn't get reset
+- trust-dns: can't recursively resolve api.mangadex.org
+  - and *sometimes* apple.com fails
+- sandbox: `ip netns exec ovpns bash`: doesn't work
+- sandbox: link cache means that if i update ~/.config/... files inline, sandboxed programs still see the old version
+- mpv: no way to exit fullscreen video on moby
+  - uosc hides controls on FS, and touch doesn't support unhiding
+- Signal restart loop drains battery
+  - decrease s6 restart time?
+- `ssh` access doesn't grant same linux capabilities as login
 - ringer (i.e. dino incoming call) doesn't prevent moby from sleeping
-- Fractal opens links with non-preferred web browser
-- `nix` operations from lappy hang when `desko` is unreachable
-  - could at least direct the cache to `http://desko-hn:5001`
-- waybar isn't visible on moby until after `swaymsg reload`
+- sway mouse/kb hotplug doesn't work
+- sysvol (volume overlay): when casting with `blast`, sysvol doesn't react to volume changes
 
 ## REFACTORING:
-
+- REMOVE DEPRECATED `crypt` from sftpgo_auth_hook
+- consolidate ~/dev and ~/ref
+  - ~/dev becomes a link to ~/ref/cat/mine
 - fold hosts/common/home/ssh.nix -> hosts/common/users/colin.nix
 
 ### sops/secrets
-- 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
+- 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
-- 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>
 
 #### upstreaming to non-nixpkgs repos
 - gtk: build schemas even on cross compilation: <https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/247844>
-- sxmo: add new app entries
 
 
 ## IMPROVEMENTS:
+- systemd/journalctl: use a less shit pager
+  - there's an env var for it: SYSTEMD_PAGER? and a flag for journalctl
+
 ### security/resilience
 - 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>
+- /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)
+- port all sane.programs to be sandboxed
+  - enforce that all `environment.packages` has a sandbox profile (or explicitly opts out)
+  - revisit "non-sandboxable" apps and check that i'm not actually just missing mountpoints
+    - LL_FS_RW=/ isn't enough -- need all mount points like `=/:/proc:/sys:...`.
+  - ensure non-bin package outputs are linked for sandboxed apps
+    - i.e. `outputs.man`, `outputs.debug`, `outputs.doc`, ...
+  - 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 sanebox 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.
 - canaries for important services
   - e.g. daily email checks; daily backup checks
   - integrate `nix check` into Gitea actions?
 
-### faster/better deployments
-- remove audacity's dependency on webkitgtk (via wxwidgets)
-
 ### user experience
+- rofi: sort items case-insensitively
+- xdg-desktop-portal shouldn't kill children on exit
+  - *maybe* a job for `setsid -f`?
+- 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

+clightning-sane: helper to perform common Lightning node admin operations:
+- view channel balances
+- rebalance channels
+
+COMMON OPERATIONS:
+- view channel balances: `clightning-sane status`
+- rebalance channels to improve routability (without paying any fees): `clightning-sane autobalance`
+
+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.

+# clightning is an implementation of Bitcoin's Lightning Network.
+# as such, this assumes that `services.bitcoin` is enabled.
+# docs:
+# - tor clightning config: <https://docs.corelightning.org/docs/tor>
+# - `lightning-cli` and subcommands: <https://docs.corelightning.org/reference/lightning-cli>
+# - `man lightningd-config`
+#
+# management/setup/use:
+# - guide: <https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning>
+#
+# debugging:
+# - `lightning-cli getlog debug`
+# - `lightning-cli listpays`  -> show payments this node sent
+# - `lightning-cli listinvoices`  -> show payments this node received
+#
+# first, acquire peers:
+# - `lightning-cli connect id@host`
+#   where `id` is the node's pubkey, and `host` is perhaps an ip:port tuple, or a hash.onion:port tuple.
+#   for testing, choose any node listed on <https://1ml.com>
+# - `lightning-cli listpeers`
+#   should show the new peer, with `connected: true`
+#
+# then, fund the clightning wallet
+# - `lightning-cli newaddr`
+#
+# then, open channels
+# - `lightning-cli connect ...`
+# - `lightning-cli fundchannel <node_id> <amount_in_satoshis>`
+#
+# who to federate with?
+# - a lot of the larger nodes allow hands-free channel creation
+#   - either inbound or outbound, sometimes paid
+# - find nodes on:
+#   - <https://terminal.lightning.engineering/>
+#   - <https://1ml.com>
+#     - tor nodes: <https://1ml.com/node?order=capacity&iponionservice=true>
+#   - <https://lightningnetwork.plus>
+#   - <https://mempool.space/lightning>
+#   - <https://amboss.space>
+# - a few tor-capable nodes which allow channel creation:
+#   - <https://c-otto.de/>
+#   - <https://cyberdyne.sh/>
+#   - <https://yalls.org/about/>
+#   - <https://coincept.com/>
+# - more resources: <https://www.lopp.net/lightning-information.html>
+#   - node routability: https://hashxp.org/lightning/node/<id>
+# - especially, acquire inbound liquidity via lightningnetwork.plus's swap feature
+#   - most of the opportunities are gated behind a minimum connection or capacity requirement
+#
+# tune payment parameters
+# - `lightning-cli setchannel <id> [feebase] [feeppm] [htlcmin] [htlcmax] [enforcedelay] [ignorefeelimits]`
+#   - e.g. `lightning-cli setchannel all 0 10`
+#   - it's suggested that feebase=0 simplifies routing.
+#
+# teardown:
+# - `lightning-cli withdraw <bc1... dest addr> <amount in satoshis> [feerate]`
+#
+# sanity:
+# - `lightning-cli listfunds`
+#
+# to receive a payment (do as `clightning` user):
+# - `lightning-cli invoice <amount in millisatoshi> <label> <description>`
+#   - specify amount as `any` if undetermined
+#   - then give the resulting bolt11 URI to the payer
+# to send a payment:
+# - `lightning-cli pay <bolt11 URI>`
+#   - or `lightning-cli pay <bolt11 URI> [amount_msat] [label] [riskfactor] [maxfeepercent] ...`
+#   - amount_msat must be "null" if the bolt11 URI specifies a value
+#   - riskfactor defaults to 10
