#+title: Oni Machine Interface
#+subtitle: My Literate Machine Configuration
#+options: num:nil
This is my latest attempt at a literate configuration.

This is in the very early stages of an attempt to do this. And usually I get frustrated and give up quite early on. I'll try and get small bits and pieces in here one at a time.

# * TODO Write a config.scm that tangles this file and loads the result
# * TODO Make all of this tangle into an actual file
* Environment
This is a random assortment of environment variables that I like to have defined for various reasons.
The =LESS= environment variable specifies the default command-line arguments to pass in to =less= whenever it is run. I've gotten quite used to these:
#+ATTR_HTML: :class short-dl
- =F= :: Causes =less= to exit right away when there is less than one screen of text to display.
- =X= :: Prevents the screen from being cleared away when =less= exits (it does more, but this is why I use it)
- =R= :: Displays ANSI color escape sequences to be rendered as normal, instead of as readable characters. In other words it lets =less= display colored text instead of displaying escape sequences.
- =S= :: Truncates long lines instead of wrapping them. Makes it easier for me to read.
- =i= :: This causes any searches using =/= to become case-insensitive so that the search term “done” will match “done”, “Done”, “DONE”, and any other combination of upper- and lowercase letters.

I use the =MY_GUIX_CONFIGURED= just as an indication that [[file:../guix.org][Guix]] home actually configured my user profile. It's not actually necessary for anything.
#+begin_src scheme :noweb-ref environment-variables
("MY_GUIX_CONFIGURED" . "1")
#+end_src
This opts out of sending any telemetry to Microsoft whenever I play around with any .Net things.

Turn on dark-mode for Calibre. I prefer dark mode everywhere.
#+begin_src scheme :noweb-ref environment-variables
("CALIBRE_USE_DARK_PALETTE" . "1")
#+end_src
Because I use [[file:../guix.org][Guix]] on top of another distribution, this variable needs to be set in order for locales to work properly for both package installed through Guix and ones installed by the host distribution.
#+begin_src scheme :noweb-ref environment-variables
("GUIX_LOCPATH" . "$HOME/.guix-home/profile/lib/locale")
#+end_src
Again because I use Guix on top of another distribution this variable ensures that the things I have stored away in my usual data directory get included, not just the ones Guix defines.
#+begin_src scheme :noweb-ref environment-variables
("XDG_DATA_DIRS"
. "${XDG_DATA_DIRS}${XDG_DATA_DIRS:+:}/usr/local/share:/usr/share")
#+end_src
I was working with =git= recently, splitting some utilities out into their own repository from a bigger repository using =filter-branch=. Apparently =filter-branch= has been deprecated because it's easy to make mistakes and there's better alternatives now. But =filter-branch= is what I know and my needs are simple, so I disable that warning.
#+begin_src scheme :noweb-ref environment-variables
("FILTER_BRANCH_SQUELCH_WARNING" . "1")

Putting it all together to define the service for my home configuration.
