+# about
+
+This is an "rsync repo tracked with git" for my dotfiles; see
+"context" section at the end for more detail.
+
+It essentially contains the minimal set of deviations from "Devuan
+with LXDE" defaults that I require in order to not find the computer
+to be an active hindrance to my productivity:
+
+# new system config
+
+## devuan
+
+- SSH config:
+
+  - copy `id_rsa.pub` from laptop
+  - edit `/etc/ssh/sshd_config` to sane defaults
+  - in particular:
+
+    1. disable root login
+    2. disable password login
+
+- sudo: add `pharpend` to `sudo` group:
+
+      # apt install sudo
+      # usermod -aG pharpend sudo
+
+- firefox:
+      % sudo apt install firefox
+
+  - rsync firefox passwords
+  - add to firefox
+
+- dotfiles:
+
+      % sudo apt install git
+      % mkdir ~/gho
+      % cd ~/gho
+      % git clone https://git.harpending.org/pharpend/dotfiles-ii.git
+
+- tmux:
+
+    % sudo apt install tmux
+    % cp ~/gho/dotfiles-ii/tmux.conf ~/.tmux.conf
+
+- zsh:
+
+    % sudo apt install zsh zsh-syntax-highlighting
+    % cp ~/gho/dotfiles-ii/zshrc ~/.zshrc
+    % chsh -s /usr/bin/zsh
+
+- vim:
+
+
+## freebsd
+
+- copy `id_rsa.pub`
+- enable ssh sysadmin:
+
+      # pw groupmod wheel -m pharpend
+
+- basic shell utilities
+
+      # pkg install tmux zsh vim rsync git lynx tree bash
+
+- basic graphical environment
+
+      # pkg install \
+              xorg i3 terminator rxvt-unicode dmenu \
+              liberation-fonts-ttf pulseaudio parcellite dunst \
+              nitrogen redshift firefox-esr fantasque-sans-mono \

+# context
+
+- I set up new machines pretty frequently
+- This has endowed me with a strong preference for low-maintenance
+  operating systems with sane defaults
+- The idea here is to have the "minimal" set of dotfiles where I can
+  clone this repo and just copy everything to its location on the new
+  machine
+- I have found that the system of directly symlinking my dotfiles
+  from the git repo to the local machine is more trouble than it's
+  worth, due to high volume of per-machine diffs.
+- e.g. laptop needs battery charge info in i3status bar config,
+  desktop machine doesn't; there's a million little things like that
+  that differ from one machine to another
+- like i said, this is the set of things that despite my best efforts
+
+- In the past I used Gentoo and Arch Linux and and and and...
+- That was fun and fulfilling when I was 17 and I had no serious
+  responsibilities in my life.
+- to be clear, the "I use Arch BTW" phase was an extremely valuable
+  period in which I learned the skills on which I now rely on a day
+  to day basis. 
+- However I'm now in my 30s, and, for better or for worse, I have
+  aged out of finding Arch Linux interesting.
+- I just can't bring myself to care about the operating system for
+  its own sake any more.
+- I have converged on "Devuan for everything" because it annoys me
+  the least
+- In the past it was "Ubuntu for everything" but replacing the GNU
+  coreutils with the Rust coreutils (why?) was the straw that broke
+  the camel's back for me.
+- I don't know why systemd or snaps weren't that straw
