  New blog post! Following my continued diving into NixOS'ifying my things, I wanted to see if I could get Splunk up and running. Turns out: yes.

  I'm not sure if this is just me getting older or what, and I've been a Linux user for over 20 years now, but for the last few months the predominant feeling I get when booting up my laptop is *gratitude*. It really is remarkable how much work and effort and ingenuity and genius went into this system. And I can just... *have* it? Like, for nothing? And then people will just *help* me with it?
