- replace the btop screenshot with the 2026-10-06 annotated capture
(btop + fastfetch + the strata/llama.cpp serving logs); the old
2026-10-01 file is gone, so the README link moves to the new name
- drop the Helix/AI-agents screenshot and its README reference
- fix stale hardware descriptions: the hosts/README.md inventory row and
the idols-ai header comment still said i5-13600KF, and the zswap pool
comment sized its percentages against the old 96G of RAM (now 128G)
- record the hardware history: the platform was rebuilt on 2026-04-27
(PR #257/#258) onto the Colorful CVN Z890 ARK FROZEN + Core Ultra 7
270K Plus, replacing the MSI board and i5-13600KF the host was added
with in 2023-05; the 2x48G kit predates that rebuild, the 2x16G kit
was added 2026-10-06
- make the DIMM bring-up order mandatory and record its failure mode:
with the 48G pair in first, or all four DIMMs from the start, the
board does not POST
- gloss the Chinese BIOS labels in English, marked as translations of
the labels rather than the firmware's own English wording
Left alone on purpose: the 96G swapfile in hosts/idols-ai/disko-fs.nix.
It was grown from 20G to 1x-RAM on 2026-10-02 (a26ab3be), when the host
still had 96G; resizing it again means re-running disko on the machine,
so that stays a separate decision.
* feat!: replace zellij with tuios and switch to ghostty + kitty
Terminal environment overhaul:
- add the tuios flake input (upstream 0.8.5; nixpkgs has 0.8.1) and link
the checked-in config out-of-store; auto-start tuios in nushell instead
of zellij
- remove zellij entirely: both modules, config, README and nushell
completions
- remove foot and alacritty, which lack the Kitty graphics protocol;
The k3s-test workers never ran (they were stuck waiting for volume
binding) and will be re-added as microVMs, so remove their KubeVirt
configs and everything that only existed for KubeVirt guests:
- hosts/k8s/k3s-test-1-worker-{1,2,3} and their outputs
- lib/genKubeVirtGuestModule.nix and lib/genK3sAgentModule.nix (the
latter was only used by the workers)
- the KubeVirt image upload recipes (upload-vm, upload-idols,
upload-k3s-test) and the kubevirt image package in the idols outputs
- refresh the docs; keep only accurate historical mentions (e.g. the
restic backup path must stay as it is)
