My Nix Config Is Intimate

A developer reflects on why their elaborate Nix configuration, which unifies desktop, laptop, and server setups into one deduplicated repository, remains private despite pride in its design. Two reasons are given: a mild security-through-obscurity concern (plaintext email addresses, exposed network architecture) and a deeper, personal reason - the config encodes idiosyncrasies, inside jokes, and personal history that feel too intimate to share as a whole, even though individual snippets are freely shared with friends learning Nix.
