 ## BUGS
+- nmcli and networkmanager_dmenu don't have the right perms to adjust networking details
+  - i think the error is in my sandboxing of the NetworkManager service
 - `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
-- when moby wlan is explicitly set down (via ip link set wlan0 down), /var/lib/trust-dns/dhcp-configs doesn't get reset
+- when moby wlan is explicitly set down (via ip link set wlan0 down), /var/lib/hickory-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 resolve `abs.twimg.com`
-- trust-dns can't resolve `social.kernel.org`
-- sandbox: link cache means that if i update ~/.config/... files inline, sandboxed programs still see the old version
+- hickory-dns can't resolve `abs.twimg.com`
+- hickory-dns can't resolve `social.kernel.org`
+- hickory-dns can't resolve `pe.usps.com`
+- hickory-dns can't resolve `social.seattle.wa.us`
+- hickory-dns can't resolve `support.mozilla.org`
+- hickory-dns can't resolve `shows.acast.com`
 - mpv: continues to play past the end of some audio files
 - 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
 - `ssh` access doesn't grant same linux capabilities as login
 - syshud (volume overlay): when casting with `blast`, syshud doesn't react to volume changes
+- moby: after bringing the modem up, powering it down loses *complete* net connectivity (i.e. wlan is gone as well)
+- dissent: if i launch it without net connectivity, it gets stuck at the login, and never tries again
 - 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
+  - i think there's a kernel config option for early entropy also
 - 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'`
 - `s6` is not re-entrant
   - so if the desktop crashes, the login process from `unl0kr` fails to re-launch the GUI
+- newflash 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
 
 ## REFACTORING:
+- define moby kernel via the nixpkgs options instead of `linux-armbian` package.
 - add import checks to my Python nix-shell scripts
 - consolidate ~/dev and ~/ref
   - ~/dev becomes a link to ~/ref/cat/mine

 #### upstreaming to non-nixpkgs repos
 - gtk: build schemas even on cross compilation: <https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/247844>
+- gnome-calls retry net connection when DNS is down
 
 
 ## IMPROVEMENTS:
-- systemd/journalctl: use a less shit pager
-  - there's an env var for it: SYSTEMD_PAGER? and a flag for journalctl
-- kernels: ship the same kernel on every machine
-  - then i can tune the kernels for hardening, without duplicating that work 4 times
-- zfs: replace this with something which doesn't require a custom kernel build
 - mpv: add media looping controls (e.g. loop song, loop playlist)
 - 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)
 
 ### security/resilience
-- validate duplicity backups!
-- encrypt more ~ dirs (~/archives, ~/records, ..?)
-  - best to do this after i know for sure i have good backups
+- enable `snapper` btrfs snapshots (`services.snapper`)
 - /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
-  - sandbox `curlftpfs`
   - sandbox `nix`
-  - sandbox `sshfs-fuse`
   - 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>
-  - 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.
 - 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

+# - when switching from wifi -> wwan (4g), may experience about a minute of audio loss.
+#   the call stays alive, but no sound in either direction.
+#   this appears to be ~40s of general net loss to servo-hn (NetworkManager being slow to switch the default device? wireguard being slow to refresh?),
+#   unknown how much time is lost in the upper layers (e.g. dns being refreshed)
+# - wwan -> wifi switching is (near) flawless. prefer to keep modem powered until end of call, because of audio routing, but OK to power it off.
+# - audio is not always routed to a good device when the modem is powered.
+#   solve by opening `pavucontrol`, go to "configuration" tab, change "Built-in audio" to anything and then back to "Make a phone call (Earpiece, Mic)".
+#   i expect my eg25-control-powered script messes with the audio routing.
