twisted is used in matrix-synapse for smtp handling.
Mostly this is used for password resets, but also notifications
are delivered that way.
older versions of twisted require the e-mail server to
have TLS1.0 enabled.
Obviously, quite a lot of servers have this disabled which means
synapse won't be able to deliver mails using such servers.

Recommend to use services.xserver.dpi option instead. Mention in the
documentation that it's a sledgehammer approach and monitor settings should be
used instead.
Also don't set DPI in fontconfig settings; fontconfig should use Xft settings
by default so let's not override one value in multiple places. For example,
user now can set DPI via ~/.Xresources properly.
Previous to this commit, the entire test driver environment was shared
with the actual python test environment.
This is a hefty api surface. This commit selectively exposes only those
symbols to the test environment that are actually meant to be used by
tests.
Deluge 1.x requires Python 2 which upstream has end-of-lifed. Deluge depends
on pythonPackages.twisted, Python 2 support for which upstream has
nowdropped. If pythonPackages.twisted is upgraded then Deluge 1.x breaks.
So, remove it instead of leaving it broken.
Deluge 2.x (deluge-2_x) is available and continues to work.
Let the update.py script handle the initial, repetitive task of
packaging new plugins. With this in place, the plugin only needs to be
added to the list in `update-plugins` and most of the work will be
done automatically when the script is run. Metadata still needs to be
filled in manually and some packages may of course require additional
work/patching.
Perform the tests on the package that the `tests` attribute is a child
of, i.e. if `discourseAllPlugins.tests` is built, the tests will run
with the `discourseAllPlugins` package, not the `discourse` package as
previously.
Without this option all changes done with Caddy API are lost after reboot.
Current service is not supporting Caddy --resume parameter. There is reference to original unit https://github.com/caddyserver/dist/blob/master/init/caddy.service which also mentions --resume and that it should be used if new Caddy API will be used.
The problem behind this is that the hardened patchset[1]. Quite recently
this led to a weird problem when Linux 5.12 was dropped (and thus had to
be removed from `nixpkgs`), there were no patches for 5.13, so
`linuxPackages_hardened_latest` had to be downgraded to 5.10 as base[2]
which may be rather unintuitive and unexpected.
To avoid these kind of "silent downgrades" in the future, it makes sense
to drop the attribute entirely. If somebody wants to use a hardened
kernel, it's better to explicitly pin it using the newly introduced
versioned attributes, e.g. `linuxPackages_4_14_hardened`.

The wpa_supplicant service in the NixOS installer is unusable because
the control socket is disabled and /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf ignored.
The manual currently recommends manually starting the daemon and using
wpa_passphrase, but this requires figuring out the interface name,
driver and only works for WPA2 personal networks.
By enabling the control socket, instead, a user can configure the
network via wpa_cli (or wpa_gui in the graphical installer), which
support more advanced network configurations.
Most desktop environments manage the cursor using the Xcursor library
by default; this comes with scalable or multiple-sized cursor themes.
However, when running just a simple WM (twm, bspwm, ...) the cursor
handling is left to the X server, which uses a very simple fixed bitmap
font (this is called a "core" cursor). The font is uncomfortably small
on a high DPI display and must be replaced with a saner default.
Up until recently[1] it used to be possible to change the font on the
xserver command line, however the font name is now hardcoded. It's still
possible to change it, though: here I override the `fontcursormisc`
package and set an alias that points to a vector variant of the original
cursor font. The font size is set to match the standard cursor
dimensions on a 96dpi display. It's not perfect but it's a very simple
and effective solution.

The paperless project has moved on to paperless-ng and the original
paperless package in Nixpkgs has stopped working recently (due to
version incompatibility with the providede Django package).
Instead of investing more time into the old module we should migrate all
users to the new module instead.
This is the case when the test-script is empty. `nixos-build-vms(8)` is
primarily supposed to be used as tool to test changes or to reproduce
bugs (IMHO) where "just spinning up a few VMs" is the primary use-case.
In the ongoing discussion about these changes[1] it was suggested to
only expose it when needed (i.e. in the case I described above) to keep
the API surface as slim as possible.

This sets up a different systemd service for each interface. This way
each wpa_supplicant instance waits for his inteface to become ready
using the respective device unit, and that only. The configuration file
is still shared between all instances, though.
This closes a longstanding "fixme" from cbfba81.
