Agree on your comment re build/templating and new language. Nix is weird and NixOS is complicated. Nonetheless I have convinced myself that I like it.

In TFA the author must set up two configurations: the .gitconfig, and the file which is included in the .gitconfig. Home-manager does this automatically through one config parameter. That is what I was pleased with and wanted to share.

I wouldn’t classify cloudflare as being “sleazy”, but as far as I know, they’re only doing domain registration as an avenue to cross-sell. They might be one of the “good ones” now, but do they have incentive to remain that way?

I often commit in a detached HEAD state (primarily because we're using Gerrit, and git-review sort of encourages it). Sublime Merge won't let me commit without being on a branch. Is there any way to get around this?

I would have thought that an offering like AWS' dedicated hosts would solve the noisy neighbours problem and offer some guarantee for IOPS. I find it surprising that they don't mention it as an option for them.
