-## What's Here
-
-this is the top-level repo from which i configure/deploy all my NixOS machines:
-- desktop
-- laptop
-- server
-- mobile phone (Pinephone)
-
-everything outside of <./hosts/> and <./secrets/> is intended for export, to be importable for use by 3rd parties.
-the only hard dependency for my exported pkgs/modules should be [nixpkgs][nixpkgs].
-building <./hosts/> will require [sops][sops].
-
-you might specifically be interested in these files (elaborated further in #key-points-of-interest):
-- [`sxmo-utils-latest`](./pkgs/additional/sxmo-utils/default.nix)
-  - [example SXMO deployment](./hosts/modules/gui/sxmo/default.nix)
-- [my implementation of impermanence](./modules/persist/default.nix)
-- my way of deploying dotfiles/configuring programs per-user:
-  - <./modules/fs/default.nix>
-  - <./modules/programs.nix>
-  - <./modules/users.nix>
-
-[nixpkgs]: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs
-[sops]: https://github.com/Mic92/sops-nix

-
-## Using This Repo In Your Own Config
-
-this should be a pretty "standard" flake. just reference it, and import either
-- `nixosModules.sane` (for the modules)
-- `overlays.pkgs` (for the packages)
-
-or follow the instructions [here][NUR] to use it via the Nix User Repositories.
-
-[NUR]: https://nur.nix-community.org/
-
-## Layout
-- `doc/`
-    - instructions for tasks i find myself doing semi-occasionally in this repo.
-- `hosts/`
-    - the bulk of config which isn't factored with external use in mind.
-    - that is, if you were to add this repo to a flake.nix for your own use,
-      you won't likely be depending on anything in this directory.
-- `integrations/`
-    - code intended for consumption by external tools (e.g. the Nix User Repos)
-- `modules/`
-    - config which is gated behind `enable` flags, in similar style to nixpkgs'
-      `nixos/` directory.
-    - if you depend on this repo, it's most likely for something in this directory.
-- `nixpatches/`
-    - literally, diffs i apply atop upstream nixpkgs before performing further eval.
-- `overlays/`
-    - exposed via the `overlays` output in `flake.nix`.
-    - predominantly a list of `callPackage` directives.
-- `pkgs/`
-    - derivations for things not yet packaged in nixpkgs.
-    - derivations for things from nixpkgs which i need to `override` for some reason.
-    - inline code for wholly custom packages (e.g. `pkgs/additional/sane-scripts/` for CLI tools
-      that are highly specific to my setup).
-- `scripts/`
-    - scripts which aren't reachable on a deployed system, but may aid manual deployments
-- `secrets/`
-    - encrypted keys, API tokens, anything which one or more of my machines needs
-      read access to but shouldn't be world-readable.
-    - not much to see here
-- `templates/`
-    - exposed via the `templates` output in `flake.nix`.
-    - used to instantiate short-lived environments.
-    - used to auto-fill the boiler-plate portions of new packages.
-
-
-## Key Points of Interest
-
-i.e. you might find value in using these in your own config:
-
-- `modules/fs/`
-    - use this to statically define leafs and nodes anywhere in the filesystem,
-      not just inside `/nix/store`.
-    - e.g. specify that `/var/www` should be:
-        - owned by a specific user/group
-        - set to a specific mode
-        - symlinked to some other path
-        - populated with some statically-defined data
-        - populated according to some script
-        - created as a dependency of some service (e.g. `nginx`)
-    - values defined here are applied neither at evaluation time _nor_ at activation time.
-        - rather, they become systemd services.
-        - systemd manages dependencies
-        - e.g. link `/var/www -> /mnt/my-drive/www` only _after_ `/mnt/my-drive/www` appears)
-    - this is akin to using [Home Manager's][home-manager] file API -- the part which lets you
-      statically define `~/.config` files -- just with a different philosophy.
-- `modules/persist/`
-    - 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.
-- `modules/programs.nix`
-    - 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;`
-- `modules/users.nix`
-    - convenience layer atop the above modules so that you can just write
-      `fs.".config/git"` instead of `fs."/home/colin/.config/git"`
-
-some things in here could easily find broader use. if you would find benefit in
-them being factored out of my config, message me and we could work to make that happen.

-## BUGS
-- why i need to manually restart `wireguard-wg-ovpns` on servo periodically
-  - else DNS fails
-- ringer (i.e. dino incoming call) doesn't prevent moby from sleeping
-
-## REFACTORING:
-
-### 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
-
-### 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>
-- remove `libsForQt5.callPackage` broadly: <https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/180841>
-
-#### 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:
-### security/resilience
-- matrix/ntfy: automatically add the ntfy.uninsane.org push URL as part of synapse launch
-- ntfy: use a more secure topic
-- 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
-#### moby
-- fix cpuidle (gets better power consumption): <https://xnux.eu/log/077.html>
-- install apps:
-  - display QR codes for WiFi endpoints: <https://linuxphoneapps.org/apps/noappid.wisperwind.wifi2qr/>
-  - 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
-  - extend width to 100% of portrait mode
-- 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)
-- 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
-- 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?
-- 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!
-- 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 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/>

-# 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.

-#   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

-#   that is NOT the case when the STUN server and client A are on the same LAN

-# my rough understanding of the pieces:
-# - postfix handles SMTP protocol with the rest of the world.
-# - dovecot implements IMAP protocol.
-#   - client auth (i.e. validate that user@uninsane.org is who they claim)
-#   - "folders" (INBOX, JUNK) are internal to dovecot?
-#     or where do folders live, on-disk?
-#
-# - non-local clients (i.e. me) interact with BOTH postfix and dovecot, but primarily dovecot:
-#   - mail reading is done via IMAP (so, dovecot)
-#   - mail sending is done via SMTP/submission port (so, postfix)
-#     - but postfix delegates authorization of that outgoing mail to dovecot, on the server side
-#
-# - local clients (i.e. sendmail) interact only with postfix
-#
-# debugging: general connectivity issues
-# - test that inbound port 25 is unblocked:
-#   - `curl https://canyouseeme.org/ --data 'port=25&IP=185.157.162.178' | grep 'see your service'`
-#     - and retry with port 465, 587
-#     - i think this API requires the queried IP match the source IP
-#   - if necessary, `systemctl stop postfix` and `sudo nc -l 185.157.162.178 25`, then try https://canyouseeme.org
