When having backup jobs that persist to a removable device like an
external HDD, the directory shouldn't be created by an activation script
as this might confuse auto-mounting tools such as udiskie(8).
In this case the job will simply fail, with the former approach
udiskie ran into some issues as the path `/run/media/ma27/backup` was
already there and owned by root.
GDM now specifies ordering between `plymouth-quit` and `display-manager`:
9be5321097c16
This causes an ordering cycle between GDM and plymouth-quit which can result in
systemd breaking GDM:
```
plymouth-quit.service: Job display-manager.service/start deleted to break
ordering cycle starting with plymouth-quit.service/start
```
Not sure how often this triggers, as I've run my system with plymouth and
9be5321097c16 without any issues. But I did catch a VM doing this.
NOTE: I also tried to remove the ordering in GDM to see if plymouth managed to
live longer, but it didn't seem to help. So I opted to stick as close to
upstream (upstream GDM specifies ordering, but plymouth does not).
This enlarges the system uid/gid range 6-fold, from 100 to 600 ids. This
is a preventative measure against running out of dynamically allocated
ids for NixOS services with isSystemUser, which should become the
preferred way of allocating uids for non-real users.
We had these set so gtk2 can discover themes properly, however we failed
realize that gtk2 already has a patch that makes it search in XDG_DATA_DIRS.
I don't believe any issue is solved by setting these.
This option was added by mistake since `listenAddress` exists by default
for each prometheus-exporter. Using
`services.prometheus.exporters.wireguard.addr` will now cause a warning,
but doesn't break eval.
Having `display-manager` conflict with `plymouth-quit` causes this lock up:
- `plymouth-quit-wait` starts up, waiting for plymouth-quit to run
- `lightdm` starts up
- `plymouth-quit` can't start, it conflicts with lightdm
- `plymouth-quit-wait` keeps waiting on plymouth-quit to kill plymouthd
The idea is having LightDM control when plymouth quits, but communication with
plymouth was broken: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/71064
Unfortunately having the conflict breaks switching to configurations with
plymouth enabled. So we still need to remove the conflict.

The rationale for this is that old filesystems have recieved little scrutiny
wrt. security relevant bugs.

Default getfacl behavior is to remove leading slash on absolute
paths in its header printed to stdout.
Before the header it will also print a message about it...
Switches -p -or --absolute-names can turn this off
and remove some noise from our tests logs.
In fact, don't create them at all because Nix does that automatically.
Also remove modules/programs/shell.nix because everything it did is
now done automatically by Nix.
