+## What's Here
+
+this is the top-level repo from which i configure/deploy all my NixOS machines:
+- desktop
+- laptop
+- server
+- mobile phone
+
+i enjoy a monorepo approach. this repo references [nixpkgs][nixpkgs], a couple 3rd party
+nix modules like [sops][sops], the sources for [uninsane.org][uninsane-org], and that's
+about it. custom derivations and modules (some of which i try to upstream) live
+directly here; even the sources for those packages is often kept here too.
+
+[nixpkgs]: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs
+[sops]: https://github.com/Mic92/sops-nix
+[uninsane-org]: https://uninsane.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.

+
+## 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)
+
+## Mirrors
+
+this repo exists in a few known locations:
+- primary: <https://git.uninsane.org/colin/nix-files>
+- mirror: <https://github.com/nix-community/nur-combined/tree/master/repos/colinsane>
+
+## Contact
+
+if you want to contact me for questions, or collaborate to split something useful into a shared repo, etc,
+you can reach me via any method listed [here](https://uninsane.org/about).
+patches, for this repo or any other i host, will be warmly welcomed in any manner you see fit:
+`git send-email`, DM'ing the patch over Matrix/Lemmy/ActivityPub/etc, even a literal PR where you
+link me to your own clone.

+## BUGS
+- why i need to manually restart `wireguard-wg-ovpns` on servo periodically
+  - else DNS fails
+- fix epiphany URL bar input on moby
+
+## 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>
+
+
+## IMPROVEMENTS:
+### 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>
+- canaries for important services
+    - e.g. daily email checks; daily backup checks
+    - integrate `nix check` into Gitea actions?
+
+### user experience
+- 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: 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)
+- 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
+- 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?
+- 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?
+- enable IPv6

+# - 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)
