This is the configuration that Ittihadyya uses for their computers. It currently handles 5 computers. capsaicin, menthol, glucose, fructose and aspartame. The first is a custom-built PC, the second is a thinkpad T460s, the two following that are Lenovo Thinkcentre m92ps and the last one is a VPS hosted by contabo.

There isn't much to say about it other than the fact that it is a desktop with a wifi module (that seldom gets used, usually that happens when the ethernet cable is connected to something else for tinkering purposes).

The only interesting thing about it is the fact that it has a touchscreen, bluetooth and is full of stickers. It gets used when not home and when we need something with bluetooth.

As can be seen, the only difference between the two is swap space and IP address, something which at the moment is inconsequential. They are going to be used as nodes in a kubernetes cluster soon (trust).

Not very interesting, besides the fact that it is a VPS. It was made using nixos-infect on top of Contabo's Ubuntu 22 image.

Files

Modules have a *.mod.nix extension, they are loaded in flake.nix via magic. Ittihadyya's flake was built, foundationally - at the very least, with heavy inspiration from sodiboo's flake, so the magic of the aforelinked flake.nix file is from faer.

<universal> applies to every single computer, it contains stuff that we want available everywhere. <personal> applies to capsaicin and menthol.

<cluster>, at the moment, applies to everything else (this is called foreshadowing).

<cluster-testing>, as of Right Now, only applies to glucose.

<sucrose> applies to both glucose and fructose.

Secrets are handled by sops-nix. How? Magic. Basically, the wanted secrets are declared in sops.mod.nix and added to secrets.yaml via sops edit secrets.yaml. For this there is an age key stashed away, more can be grasped, probably, by looking at the aforelinked sops.mod.nix.

All files within this repository have the possibility of:

• having eerie vibes.
• calling to the user.
• asking the user for directions to the nearest STUN server.
• spontaneously combusting.
• waging protracted war upon the user.
• telling the user any information in exchange for personal information, then, if it is wrong, it will smite the user.
• periodically altering the user's perception of time, eventually leading to exhaustion if no external stimuli interrupt this.
• reminding the user of the time before names.
• employing a birthday attack upon the Black Moon, to check if it is digitally howling.
• transporting the user into an alternate reality where physical constants are slightly off.
