Inspired by Profpatsch's "Notes", here's a short post about a thing that
happened today...
Note: I'd like a way to convert `git log --format=%b` into blog
posts (maybe). Maybe some commit metadata like `POST=true`

this machine is now sort of permanently stationed in the office, and
thus permanently connected to the big screen.
with this setup, it's comfortable to have it available for a single
workspace (e.g. for videos playing there), but it's too confusing and
unergonomic to use that screen for anything else.

I still have the issue where after reboots I can't log in to my
machines without going through a horrible dance with booting a NixOS
installer and so on.
I suspect this has somethign to do with this initial hashed password
set here, but I was unable to verify what password I've actually set
up there, so I'm resetting it to a known string to verify my theory.

This naughty RealTek wireless module crashes my machine. I'm also moving other
`boot`-prefixed options out of `hardware.nix` and into `default.nix`. In
general, I'm not *really* a fan of the distinction between the two files in the
first place.

Strange start to my Monday where I spent ~2h debugging my hanging
NixOS. Strangely I'm not sure I made any changes to my configuration to trigger
this, and I was finding this hard to reproduce:
- graphical X sessions hung (once when opening Chrome)
- TTYs hung (during `nix-build` and `rebuild-system`)
Per kn's recommendations whenever a system is hanging, see if it's reachable
over the network (e.g. SSH). Since I didn't have my laptop, I downloaded Termius
on my iPhone, which I used to mosh into ava, which is a surprisingly nice UX.
I suspect my machine (with only 8GB of RAM) was OOMing, but I'm not
certain. Thanks to grfn I installed `earlyoom`. For more commentary, check-out
Profpatsch's blog post about this: https://profpatsch.de/notes/preventing-oom
What went well:
- Thankfully I installed a Matrix client on my iPhone last week, which allowed
me to troubleshoot with the #tvl folks
AIs:
- I'd like some instrumentation like Prometheus, Loki (`journald`, `dmesg`), so
that I can accumulate troubleshooting information that isn't destroyed when I
reboot my machine (which I did 1/2-dozen times today).
- Consider adding `git` metadata to `system.nixos.label` to get more useful
information in a GRUB/EFI context.
More unknowns:
- Why can't I switch back to EFI (from GRUB) for my bootloader?
