Window -> Mint -> Mint Debian -> Arch -> NixOS (not complete yet)

I am incredibly happy with NixOS, I love having my entire OS and software configuration in a GIT repo, commits and comments included.

Dan Abnett. Eisenhorn, Gaunt, and Bequin. I understand that the setting doesn't necessarily appeal to everyone, but the way he writes prose is beautiful in my opinion. And he writes excellent characters.

  • Bitwarden: I could host it myself, but it's better if it is secretly elsewhere in case I need up...
  • Backblaze: backups from my server (to which everything else will soon backup to)
  • Spotify: it's convenient
  • GPhotos: until I'm done migrating to Immich locally
  • PIA: yarr, and also avoiding region stuff

I really liked https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGVXJ-TIv3Y - step by step, with examples and great explanations. Warning: it's long, but I watched it in one session.

Actually that is exactly what I'm looking to do for my upcoming home server - configure and define everything via NixOS so that I can almost instantly reprovision it should I have to (restore from backup on hardware issues, recover from borked software upgrades, etc).

Setting up solid backups is important to me, so I plan to bake the full setup into the configuration. That allows me to test everything in a VM first and then apply it all with a simple GIT fetch and rebuild once I commit to hardware.

It's aspirational so far, but the more I read the more sense it makes to me. My own desktop won't be far behind if all of that works...
