Software

Managed declaratively via nixos/ringtail/configuration.nix. Home-manager handles ringtail-specific sway/waybar config; chezmoi manages cross-platform dotfiles.

  • Desktop: Sway (Wayland) with waybar and wezterm
  • Gaming: Steam (library on /mnt/games), 8BitDo controller via Steam Input
  • Secrets: 1Password CLI + GUI (NixOS modules for polkit/setgid integration)
  • Runtimes: mise manages Node, Python, Rust, .NET; nix-ld enables dynamically linked binaries
  • Dotfiles: chezmoi init eblume && chezmoi apply

Deployment

mise run provision-ringtail

This updates flake.lock via Dagger, verifies the current commit is pushed to forge, then deploys the exact commit via ansible. If the lockfile changed, it stages the file and exits so you can commit and re-run.

Maintenance Notes

1Password: Desktop app must be running for op CLI. Use $mod+Shift+minus to send to scratchpad.

NVIDIA: Proprietary drivers. Sway launched with --unsupported-gpu via greetd.

No TPM: systemd.tpm2.enable = false prevents 90s boot delay.

RAM speed: Running at 2133 MT/s (rated 3200). XMP may need enabling in BIOS.
