Yeah, I’m used to NixOS — however, having to edit the config (instead of e.g. a package manager) is a common pain point I see when others use NixOS, and it often leads to them switching distros.

¢-aur — I’m not sure why I pronounce it that way; it’s just how I’ve always pronounced it.

What network topology do you have? My method only assumes server→laptop connectivity (laptop→server and laptop→repo are implied). If server→laptop is unavailable, but you can install Git in general on the server, you could forward the repo through SSH. If Git cannot be installed server-side at all, this is more difficult, and rsync would be the best method I know of.

Detach the laptop’s head, then git clone from it over SSH on your build server. When you’re done, git push will update your laptop’s branches, then you can git push origin the relevant branches on your laptop.

My main branch is called HEAD.

Given Trump mention, presumably the US.

Unexpected Keyboard (URL from memory; unsure if it works) has ∴ (and a lot more, like ¬∵∧∨ etc.) if you’re fine with the learning curve.

There are four boxes to be used in the defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo. Please use in that order.
