Raspberry Pi config for all things Internet
https://github.com/LegendOfMiracles/dotnix/tree/master/hosts... (bottom lines describe the remote build logic) this is the actual config of the pi... One other file also gets sourced: the defaults-nixos file in the root of the repo. And the distributed build host nix file describes creating a build user on my main machine.
The setup is mostly mirrored from https://sgt.hootr.club/molten-matter/nix-distributed-builds/

Allow all applications to access Dropbox or Google Drive files
I am using mackup to sync application preferences between devices over Dropbox. Now if any application with synced preferences is started I will get a question if given application is allowed to access Dropbox files (because it tries to access its preferences). Examples below.

The best Mac Apps to unlock your max potential (recommended by users of r/MacOs )
Yeah, I went through a similar process when I finally upgraded my MBP after 8 years on a 2013 MBP. In light of the transition from Intel to Apple Silicon, I decided to do some spring cleaning with a fresh install. I ended up curating my own setup/bootstrap scripts as well as using mackup to backup and sync my dotfiles and app configs.

Dotfiles Management
I moved away from using a dotfiles repo a few years ago because I kept forgetting to add/commit files as I changed them.
Instead I use mackup[0] which automatically manages symlinks to your Dropbox/Drive/Share and has support for a huge amount of software by default. You can also manually add “extra” files you wish to track if you like.

Trying to learn Homebrew-macOS /usr/local layout --for purpose of--> migrating /usr/local from one Macbook to another
Brew bundle will install fresh copies of your package list. If you have any configuration files that you want to reuse, you’d have to transfer those separately. This might help https://github.com/lra/mackup
