Now baba can start using it to populate config files from depot.
It’s not entirely working as expected, if stow finds a symlink dir
coming from a different stow, it won’t know how to split it up, so
some manual intervention is required in the beginning.

nix-home is (hopefully) gonna be a home-manager alternative for my
home directory.
Files are symlinked into the home directory via GNU stow (since that
is a tried and tested tool), so first step is to set up the base code
for that.
Implements a small tool that reads a single environment variable and
prints it to stdout.

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`?
For more context about this change, see `describe-variable` for
`evil-symbol-word-search`.

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
now...

I think this is a form of symmetric encryption where the passphrase (e.g. "ICE")
is repeated (e.g. "ICEICEICEICEI...") until it matches the length of the
cleartext string; after that, the two byte-strings are XOR'd against one another
and then encoded as hexadecimal creating the ciphertext.

Preferring billandhiscomputer.com in lieu of wpcarro.dev. wpcarro is a bit of a
tough username for others to remember and for me to say out-loud (it usually
involves me spelling it and explaining to others why Carroll is missing
2x-Ls). I think it's time for a change.
During the transition, I don't want to deal with stale links to
https://wpcarro.dev, so I'm templatizing more of my website and blog so that
these values can be replaced.

This support reverse-DNS lookups.

`nat_ip` (external, ephemeral IP). I needed to run...
```shell
terraform apply -replace=google_compute_instance.diogenes

...which invalidates terraform's local cache of the state. I believe this used
to be called `terraform taint`. Things are mostly WAI, with one known issue:
quasselcore and billandhiscomputer.com complain about missing SSL certs, but I
believe this is a race-condition. Calling...
```shell
systemctl restart quassel.service

...resolves the issue for quassel. Unfortunately the same doesn't work for
