been cleaning up... one laptop now nixos + some nixos lxc guests for experiments. remaining debian systems all have single user nix set up. resumed nix-packaging custom dev setup. old code based on 17/18 releases still works so i am convinced nix/nixos is the way forward.

main machine (a lxc guest i can move around) will remain debian. too many hacks accumulated over the years.
i really like nix, and i'm warming up to nixos, but it is a real pain to switch. everything is different.

doing some more wrapping...
when it works, it is great. i'm invested.
however nixpkgs is very complex. hard to read. hard to debug. there is a lot of indirection. hard to see what things actually mean. there are definitely common patterns, but it's a lot to absorb.
