When I migrated to /depot I removed JetBrainsMono from my monorepo. This is fine
on NixOS machines because I'm depending on JetBrainsMono through Nix
configuration. But for non-NixOS machines (my work machines), I cannot do
this.
Until I've thought of how I'd like to support this, I'm doing to use Monospace,
which should be available on all of my machines.

I'm still a bit confused about the nuances between the myriad of ways to handle
variables in Emacs...
- `setq`
- `setq-default`
- `setq-local`
- `defvar`
- `defcustom`
- `defconst`
- `customize-set-variable`
- `make-local-variable`
- `make-variable-buffer-local`
- `kill-local-variable`
...but after running some experiments, this triggers the Emacs debugger when an
error is encountered (e.g. either *in* `init.el` or another package that is
evaluated during `init.el`'s evaluation).

In my opinion the following versions of compound words should be searched
similarly...
- `testingThisOut` (camel case)
- `TestingThisOut` (class case)
- `testing_this_out` (snake case)
- `testing-this-out` (kebab case)
...but Emacs's default searching treats the snake and kebab cases differently,
which makes it difficult to search for buffer-local occurrences of symbols in
Python, Elisp (among other languages).
This has been bothering me for some time. I must've attempted to fix this awhile
ago by using `setq` (when I should've used `customize-set-variable`, which makes
me wonder: how much of my configuration is flaky because I'm using `setq` where
I should be using `customize-set-variable`?

In the spirit of learning by doing, I decided to implement a simple blockchain
server. More work remains, but I'm tired after working on this for ~2-3h. I'd
like to reimplement this from memory using a statically typed language like
Haskell. I'd also like to implement node
discovery (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Satoshi_Client_Node_Discovery) because
that is still something I don't quite understand. But I'm signing-off for

After receiving another computer from Google and attempting to "easily"
install my configuration, I realized that I had some holes. In reality
these could (and perhaps should) be easily tested using CI that attempts
to cleanly install my configuration on various platfoms (e.g. Debian,
NixOS), but I'm not interested in supporting something like that (at
least not at the moment).
For now, it suffices to nixify some of the lingering shell scripts with
implicit dependencies on tools like `stow`.

The priority of binary caches is decided by the remotes in Nix (???),
and by default nix-serve (which is *very* slow) has a lower priority
than cache.nixos.org (which means that it will be preferred over the
faster cache for paths that exist on both).
To avoid this, override the hardcoded (????) priority by serving the
nix-cache-info response directly from nginx instead.
