I am blown away again and again by how freakin powerful #nix is.

I am currently setting up a VPS for my private project, with a development mailinglist that is actually a receive-only mailinglist that forwards mails to a public-inbox instance that can be used with `lei` to "subscribe" to.
That host also contains a #git repository with a #cgit web frontend.
It also hosts a website (static site compiled) of the project.

All of that is tested with nixos VM tests. I did not even yet rent that VPS, I am currently configuring and defining the whole thing, I write tests that everything works as expected (sending mail which then appears in the public-inbox frontend, the cgit web interface is reachable, I can push to the underlying repository... and so on).

As soon as things work, I can look for a VPS hoster and then deploy that thing and hit the ground running right there.

Absolutely amazing.
