405be98069 Manage xsession with home-manager
redshift didn't properly work because it couldn't read the DISPLAY environment
variable. I can fix this ad-hoc with `systemctl --user import-environment
DISPLAY`, but home-manager will do this automatically if I allow it to manage my
xsession.

8c0a56a03e Restore Emacs server
I think I removed the `(server-start)` call when I was debugging some EXWM
issues. I have stabilized my configuration considerably since then, and I'd like
to use the Emacs server.

921e6c2905 Remove dockerd startup from .profile
1. I haven't used docker in awhile.
2. If I need to restore the docker daemon, I will reach for a home-manager
   solution.

0239f92d30 Remove RUST_SRC_PATH from .profile
I'm not doing enough Rust development to justify supporting this. I'm also in
the midst of a cleaning frenzy, so it's possible that this is just collateral
damage. I don't think it is because I can always use lorri to set this value
when I'm writing Rust (hopefully the second 1/2 of this year).

3ae100e468 Manage session variables with home-manager
If you haven't noticed, home-manager is managing increasingly more of my
configuration.

- Migrate session variables to home.nix
- Drop support for unused session variables like TERMINAL, VISUAL

82b2c8c27c Remove ssh-agent code from .profile
TIL: gpg-agent sets the SSH_AUTH_SOCK and other values. Since I already use
home-manager to start gpg-agent and SSH has been functioning without issues, I'm
removing the obsolete ssh-agent code.

c06d93a275 Ad Google AdSense script to blog.wpcarro.dev
I'm adding Google Ads to my blog to:
- learn more about Google AdSense
- attempt to offset the my advertising costs for learn.wpcarro.dev

I may need to surround the <script></script> tags with markup to positions the
ads optimally. I will publish this first, see what it looks like without any
markup, and then progress.

a37e10ced5 Lint hugo Tailwind theme
My Emacs automatically trims trailing whitespace when I save a buffer. As a
result, this diff appears whenever I edit the baseof.html file. Instead of
continuing to ignore the diff, I'm committing it.

118b7b9668 Draft blog post about March's cell phone challenge
Started working on my debut blog post about giving up my cell phone during
march.

I'd like to publish this post by the end of the month, once I conclude the
experiment. At that time, I'd like to change the voice of some the content to be
past test. For now, I'm dumping ideas here while they're fresh in my mind. I
will refine and prune the final post later.

d206a2812f Prefer hugo for blog.wpcarro.dev
Instead of creating my own static website generator, I'm trying Hugo. Huge is a
newer alternative to Jekyll. So far, I like what I see.

- Ignoring /blog/public since this is where `huge -D` generates the static
  assets.
- Using a TailwindCSS theme.
- Creating a dumby post about Emacs to test deployments.
- Deleting all Common Lisp and Nix code that powered my previous, half-baked
  blog.

5fd094d39c Replace ~ with /home/wpcarro

9b49731c02 Use static directory path as root for learn.wpcarro.dev

don't currently.

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}.

694ca4a85f Ensure socrates/default.nix is a function

function.

28af585f3d Include NIX_PATH settings in nix/rebuild-emacs function
I'm currently setting NIX_PATH in ~/briefcase/shell.nix. This means when I call
`nix/rebuild-emacs` from a buffer that is inside the briefcase directory, the
command succeeds because NIX_PATH is properly defined. When I call
`nix/rebuild-emacs` from any other location it fails.

I'm hard-coding the NIX_PATH in this command so that I can call
`nix/rebuild-emacs` from any buffer that is currently active.

137bd6dc0c Drop support for terminator
I've been consistently using vterm enough that I don't think I will change
shells anytime soon. Couple this with my previous commit where I hint that I'd
like to curb all terminal usage if possible, and it seems unlikely that I'll
want to keep this terminator configuration.
