093b566e71 Support env vars for {DESK,LAP,CLOUD}TOP devices
I recently changed my hostname for my desktop and laptop from

wpcarro.lon.corp.google.com -> zeno.lon.corp.google.com
wpcarro2                    -> seneca

If you're curious, the names Zeno and Seneca come from famous Stoic
philosophers. As you can see from this commit, my configuration depends on the
values of these hostnames.

Immediately impacted:
- .profile
- device.el

Not immediately impacted:
- configs/install
- configs/uninstall
- .ssh/config
- .zshrc*

* As a side note, I should stop supporting ZSH.

Using an .envrc file helps me DRY up some of my configuration. Ideally I should
only need to make changes to the .envrc file and then expect everything to work
as expected. Let's see how that goes.

8ad51b24dd Document current deployment tactics
Adding a README including my current method for deploying. See the README for

ff06ffcf9c Package depot's gemma as a docker image for Cloud Run
Using <depot>'s gemma project with `dockerTools.buildLayeredImage` because I
need access to a nix-packaged server and gemma is the first thing that comes to
mind.

bacaa0ca8a Add docker/cloud_run.nix
I'm attempting to setup my blog using the following:
- Google Cloud Run: I whitelist a docker image that packages my application and
then Google runs it "statelessly" (i.e. without persistence). The stateless part
should be fine for the time being.
- Nix: Using `<nixpkgs>.dockerTools.buildLayeredImage` to output docker images
from Nix expressions.
- Docker: Upload the output image from the Nix expressions and upload it to
Google Container Registry from which it can be run from Google Cloud Run.

Some helpful commands:

```shell
> sudo gcloud auth login
> nix-build ./docker/cloud_run.nix
> sudo docker image import ./result
> sudo docker tag <name> gcr.io/<google-cloud-project-id>/<name>:<tag>
> sudo docker push gcr.io/<google-cloud-project-id>/<name>:<tag>
```

I'm unsure if Google Cloud Run is my desired end goal, but it may help me
publish a blog faster than setting up a Kubernetes cluster, which is what I'd
ultimately like to do. Cloud Run should be cheaper financially and time-wise.

I no longer want to try this package...

680d129cb3 Temporarily remove server-start from Emacs
I'm having trouble debugging why `pgrep emacs` returns two PIDs instead of just
one. Additionally when I call `emacsclient .` on the command line, I see a
message...
"Waiting for Emacs..."
...but when I cycle through all of my workspaces, I don't see any active
buffers. This commit is part of a larger debugging effort to get this working as
expected.

4952142916 Sketch ideas for YNAB integration
The end goal is to have some functions that help me manage my Monzo and YNAB
accounts. YNAB (i.e. youneedabudget.com) doesn't support Monzo
integrations. However, both services offer APIs. Here I'm sketching ideas for
what the API integrations might look like. Coming soon: monzo.el.

5399b4bd03 Add maybe.el dependency to fn in prelude.el
Not adding it as a top-level dependency since maybe.el depends on on
prelude.el. This shouldn't be a circular dependency when the requirement happens
in the function's scope though.

b5c0d29601 Change Emacs startup
Remove `dbus-launch` and prefer simply `exec emacs`. Add `--no-site-file` and
`--no-site-lisp` flags.

Temporarily disable `google-stuff.el` because it's unavailable with the
`--no-site-lisp` flag.

This should all be fixed when I fully nixify my Emacs.

b6e9952889 Disable auto-fill-mode and company-mode in IRC buffers
Why?
- `company-mode` is too noisy in IRC buffers.
- `auto-fill-mode` inserts newline characters that end up each being their own
  message, which means that I make more noise than I should in IRC.

fb51c8b458 Support nix-eval fish function
Wrapping the `nix eval` incantation in a fish function for two reasons:
1. Document that this is how to evaluate Nix from a file.
2. Provide a more ergonomic way of evaluating Nix from a file.

d1fdc9fa63 Enable ivy-mode globally
This takes care of my outstanding TODO of understanding why something ivy was
being used and other times it wasn't. It turns out that there is a generic
`completing-read` function that many Emacs packages consume. `ivy-mode` ensures
that when that function is called it is used instead of the default Emacs
completing package.

I'm still unsure of the difference between ivy and counsel. My best guess
currently is that counsel is the narrowing framework and ivy is the integration
of the narrowing framework with `completing-read`. Swiper must be the
integration with incremental {forward,backward} search.

130155121a Sketch idea of a buildClojure nix function
The previous commit that adds Java code is part of a larger project intended to
use Nix to package Clojure. I'd like to build something similar to @tazjin's
buildLisp except for Clojure instead of for Common Lisp. Once building for both
ecosystems is similarly easy, it will be easier for me to compare the two
languages. Right now `buildLisp` is so good that it attracts me to Common Lisp
even when I don't know the language.

7bf8997830 Support nix/sly-from-universe
This function builds a version of SBCL using `nix.buildLisp` and points `sly` to
the built executable. The result is a REPL with access to your project's
dependencies, which is quite useful. One drawback at the moment is that if new
dependencies are added to the project, I think I need to rebuild SBCL using nix
and restart sly.

6108f8df01 Support proof-of-concept blog
After some toil, I have a working proof-of-concept blog. The idea is simple:
write blog posts in markdown and store the posts in the `./posts`
directory. Then use the server and `pandoc` to convert these markdown files into
HTML at request time. I'm using nix to package everything together. It's far
from perfect, but it works at the moment, which is encouraging.

81d7bc405e Extend blog server to consume nix injections
All of this is still a work-in-progress. Just checking in my work.

Also:
- Write function `render-post` to convert a markdown file into HTML. This is
  still a work-in-progress since we need to capture the output and not just have
  it printed to *standard-out*.
- Return dummy data in /posts

b25d06db7e Attempt to inject dependencies into blog/server
- We need the markdown files, to be in the /nix/store and the server needs to be
  aware of there location.
- Since we're dependending on `pandoc`, our server needs to know about it too.

For both of these cases -- especially for the latter case -- I imagine there may
be a more idiomatic way of doing this.

Attempting to write a blog where:

- The server is Common Lisp. Why? I'd like to learn Common Lisp.
- The blog posts can be written in Markdown.
- The package is developed and deployed using Nix.

Most of this is a learning exercise. The blog itself is something that I'd like
to use instead of Medium and other forums.

e11ba0598e Move the location of tazjins-depot
Since I spend a decent amount of time scouring the excellent work of my

work cheaper would be beneficial.

Also preferring the name `"depot"` to `"tazjins-depot"`. I don't think the
namespace `"tazjin-"` is useful at this time. I'm considering renaming my
mono-repo `"universe"`... a bit grandiose, but hey, let me get my kicks.
