79904056af Move buildkite's SSH key out of /home/wpcarro into /etc/ssh
After enabling buildkite-agent using NixOS, it runs as its own user,
buildkite-agent-socrates, which does not have its own home directory. I moved
the SSH key that I made when running buildkite-agent as wpcarro into /etc/ssh
and `chown`'d it for buildkite-agent-socrates.

42efb3b08a Support build-briefcase.sh
For now, I'm supporting two CI pipelines:
- build-socrates
- build-briefcase

Conceptually, build-briefcase should cover what build-socrates does now, but
eventually I would like build-socrates to call `switch-to-configuration` so that
all of my websites, etc. stay fresh.

59f7481411 Revise previous opinions about absolute paths GT <bracket-notation>
Unforeseen problem: `buildkite-agent` runs its builds in a separate directory,
so if I want the `nix-build` command to build the newly checked out code, I need
to set <briefcase> to the CWD.

7833632a79 Attempt nix-build instead of nixos-rebuild switch
I've encountered a few problems with attempting to support nixos-rebuild:
- the activation step requires `sudo` privileges
- the `buildkite-agent` runs on the same machine, socrates, that is rebuilding
  itself. This means that when the activation step runs, it will attempt to
  restart `buildkite-agent` when the agent is still working

I'm slowly removing places in my nix code that rely on '<bracket>' notation, so
that I no longer depend on NIX_PATH being set. I still have more work to do.

{covid-uk,sandbox}/default.nix are breaking when I attempt to run my
build-socrates.sh script locally, so I'm temporarily disabling them until I can
get CI working as I expect.

2bf3c6c926 Log all polkit actions to find action.id for nixos-rebuild
I would like to setup a polkit rule to allow `buildkite-agent` (i.e. a
forthcoming user) to call `nixos-rebuild`. I need to know the `action.id` before
I can write a reliable rule.

979cbda33c Remove logging prefix from Nginx logs
Problem: The JSON that Nginx outputs cannot be successfully parsed by
journaldriver because Nginx prefixes it with "socrates nginx:". Adding
`nohostname` to `access_log` should solve this problem.

I borrow this from @tazjin's most recent definition of `commonHttpConfig`.

fa4eb2c61b Remove auth from Bitlbee
I'm having trouble getting PAM auth to work, so I'm temporarily disabling it.

TIL that I can use the following to verify that PAM is properly setup for a
program (e.g. `bitlbee`).

```
pamtester -v bitlbee $(whoami) authenticate
```

...but despite this succeeding, I still cannot use the `identify` command in
`bitlbee` to successfully authenticate. It just tells me "Incorrect password"
even though I'm providing it the same password that I type when doing the
`pamtester` command from above.

Computers!

I'm still not entirely sure what bitlbee does, but I know this: I want as many
messengers in the same place as possible: IRC, Slack, Telegram. @tazjin tells me
that Bitlbee will help me get to the promised land. This is hopefully one step
of many in that direction.

277ad983d4 Nixify build for Chord Drill Sergeant
Thankfully @tazjin builds Gemma (an Elm project) with Nix, so I could reference
Gemma's default.nix to help me with mine. Elm problematically attempts to
HTTP-fetch a list of packages to verify my project's dependencies. Because Nix
builds derivations in a sandbox without network access, I need to use some
escape hatches (i.e. NIX_REDIRECTS, LD_PRELOAD,
SYSTEM_CERTIFICATE_PATH). Welp... it's packaged now...

I'm also pointing learnpianochords.app to this project's index.html. It will be
live soon! :)

6b224a9e31 Drop support for lorri
Lorri does not cleanly integrate with my corporate device, which cannot run
NixOS. To expose dependencies to Emacs buffers, I will use nix-buffer.el, which
reads its values from dir-locals.nix. To easily expose dependencies from my
existing shell.nix files into dir-locals.nix, I wrote a Nix utility function.

76210a217c Attempt to serve sandbox.wpcarro.dev/covid-19
Right now my website is serving at sandbox.wpcarro.dev, but I would rather
people view it at sandbox.wpcarro.dev/covid-19.

I previously tried to accomplish this with the following Nginx configuration:

```nix
locations."/covid-19" = {
  root = briefcase.covid-uk;
}
```

I am now trying `alias = ...` instead of `root = ...`. I got the idea from this
SO question, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10631933/nginx-static-file-serving-confusion-with-root-alias.

1d45f14615 Update COVID-19 webpage
- Prefer hosting on sandbox.wpcarro.dev; I would prefer to host it at
  sandbox.wpcarro.dev/covid-19, but I haven't figure out how to use Nginx to do
  serve locations like /covid-19 yet.
- Splice the src directory: When I develop locally and index.html exists within
  ./src, I cannot access ./node_modules because ./node_modules is in a parent
  directory. I could fix this if I used a bundler like Parcel or Webpack, but I
  do not want to set that up at this time.
- Introduce Tailwind for CSS. This complicates my build a bit as well. For now,
  I'm including output.css even though ideally I should not version-control this
  file. I haven't figured out how to `yarn install` and run commands like `npx
  tailwindcss build styles.css -o output.css` in a Nix derivation yet. Hopefully
  I will learn and refactor this.
- Add some content about why I made this chart
- Add some content about some of my covid-19 predictions
- Add a footer to the webpage
- Delete timeseries.json and prefer fetching the published data instead

dd9788fa73 Create line chart of UK confirmed corona virus cases
I was having trouble tracking the growth of corona virus cases in the UK.

that data manually and plotted it using the chart.js library as a programming
exercise with Mimi.

Now I'm attempting to deploy to https://wpcarro.dev/covid-uk.

c187d89f27 Rename socrates/default.nix -> socrates/configuration.nix
readTree uses the output attribute set of default.nix as the value for
nixos.socrates, which disables me from resolving nixos.socrates.rebuild since
there is no rebuild attribute in the output attribute set from default.nix.

If I rename default.nix -> configuration.nix, I can resolve
nixos.socrates.{configuration,hardware,rebuild}.

6eb239dcce Manually require dependencies for <nixpkgs>, <briefcase>
When I build socrates using `sudo nixos-rebuild [...] switch`, my
`nixos-config` (i.e. <briefcase/nixos/socrates/default.nix>) is a simple Nix
anonymous function. Typically readTree populates my pkgs, briefcase, depot
function parameters with <nixpkgs>, <briefcase>, <depot>, but `nixos-rebuild` is
unaware of `readTree`.

For now I'm manually importing these dependencies, and I'm leaving a TODO to
reconsider switching to the `{ pkgs, briefcase, ... }` style when I better
understand NixOS.
