Now, it's all under the notebook umbrella. Seems to be appropriate as it is just my notes after all. I also updated some notes from there. I didn't keep track of what it is this time. Something about more learning notes extracted from my "Learning how to learn" course notes and then some. Lack of time and hurriness just makes it difficult to track but it should be under version control already.

It features a handrolled configuration language (also called Nix) that leans into functional paradigm, making it easier if you have experience on it.

Eventually inspired GNU to create a fork, [[id:be917383-84c4-4bf5-9ca0-b04bfb778f4f][Guix package manager]], that takes it to another direction with more focus on reproducibility and its extensions such as bootstrapping.
