At least you get to book both at once. When I got my first dose offer it was the other system and so I have to wait for them to contact me about arranging jab 2.

I think they mean it's a number guaranteed to be unique per device. So can be used to key in the sense of 'look up' or 'identify' but as you say, not in the sense of 'authenticate'

I want a snack castle. Or a snack house. Or a snack shack. Frankly I just want a snack.

I'd suggest that, approximately, the 24-hour gyms with very basic trainers are your best bet. They'll help you work out a programme which works for *you* and then you can just get on with it at your own pace. I did that for a year before I got some more personalised training.

I had a very good experience at my local @JettsFitnessUK - I started out fairly overweight and over the years they helped me with my fitness journey. I really miss them and so does my waistline :( Soooooon.

These days I content myself by making things I want, and hopefully others might still find useful, and then do my best to accept feature requests and bug reports for UX. Once or twice I've succeeded :/

This is a realisation many of our peers have yet to achieve. Welcome back to the outside :D

I decided the use of bitwarden-cli was a bit iffy, for now I've dropped it from my dodgy installer which is now all nix-flakesy
Replying to @grhmc
As far as I can tell, there's an expression for the tooling you need, but not actually a script to automate things. It's really sad :( Everything about the user-experience on nixos is great, **except** getting the thing onto some hardware nicely afaict. nixops-for-laptops?
Well, my disgusting shell script which sets up a #nixos box now uses bitwarden-cli to acquire the 'recovery' FDE password to set into the LUKS header. Next step is yubikey slot setup, but eesh, I wish this was already available as an installer. @grhmc any suggestions?

It didn't take me very long to get a desktop I was comfortable with on a throwaway laptop; *but* it has taken me a very long time to not get to the point of adding my yubikey as a 2nd factor for the luks.
Replying to @thommay
I've been treating the exploration I've been doing as a "Linux from Scratch" and so far I've enjoyed it at least a little. But the utter lack of installer, and the pitiful amount of setup scripting which comes "as standard" really betrays the incredibly high quality of nixpkgs.

So far my biggest complaint with NixOS is the incredible disparity between support for *using* some feature and for *setting up* said feature. Case in point, Yubikey+LUKS. The initrd support is very nice and clean and clever. But actually setting it up requires so much faff.

Rough desktop working, so now I need to work out how to make it all declarative. It's not nice to have to faff with `dconf-editor` even if I can `nix-shell -p dconf-editor dconf-editor` :D

Hear hear. Are you aware of the Open Source Security Foundation? (A Linux Foundation effort which in part wants to find ways to ameliorate that situation)
