 ## 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
+- moby: touchscreen input is still enabled when screen is off
+- 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
+  - 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
+- 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
-- `nix` operations from lappy hang when `desko` is unreachable
-  - could at least direct the cache to `http://desko-hn:5001`
+- sysvol (volume overlay): when casting with `blast`, sysvol 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'`
 
 ## REFACTORING:
+- 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

 ### sops/secrets
 - rework secrets to leverage `sane.fs`

 ### roles

+  - i think it's `systemd-networkd-wait-online.service` that's blocking this?
