It was never meant to be used for anything other than testing
and setting it globally can cause weird loops in GTK-based portals,
where the portal will end up waiting for itself until it times out.

Or it can mess up fonts:

Having the option in NixOS makes it look like it is okay or even
desirable to enable, when in fact it is a hack that can subtly break apps.
Some apps allow opting into using portal-based APIs, e.g. for Firefox,
you can set `widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal.file-picker` to `1` in about:config.
Otherwise, you can set the `GTK_USE_PORTAL` environment variable to 1
for individual apps.
People who really want it and aware of the downsides can just set
`environment.sessionVariables.GTK_USE_PORTAL = "1";` NixOS option
directly to set the environment variable globally.
According to https://grafana.com/docs/agent/latest/upgrade-guide/#v0240,
this has been deprecated/moved to -server.http.address and
-server.grpc.address (accepting ip and port) config options in v0.24.0,
and already listens on localhost and not port 80 by default.
According to https://github.com/grafana/agent/pull/1540, -prometheus.*
flages were deprecated in 0.19.0 in favor of the -metrics.*
counterparts. Same applies to `loki` being renamed to `logs`.
I'm not sure if the config file format is still supported (it could be),
but we shouldn't use deprecated configs.
Run the device tree overlays through the preprocessor before compiling it, as
is done in the kernel. This helps make overlays easier to understand, and
improves compatibility with those found in the wild.
I found the correct command line by running the kernel build with V=1, and then
removing all the arguments related to dependency tracking.
Since dtc 1.4.7 (released in 2018), there has been a much nicer syntax for
device tree overlays. This commit converts the dtsText example to use this
syntax.
Qt4 is on it's way out, according to
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/174634
Barco's ClickShare driver/client requires Qt4;
an update isn't in sight anywhere.
To prepare for the removal of Qt4,
the commit at hand removes the
ClickShare package and its NixOS module.
The release notes are appended with a hint about the
removal and some alternatives that might help users
that are still in need of the driver/client functionality.
The preStart script for the IPFS service will print parts of the configuration
to stdout (and therefore, the journal) when applying profiles on startup. This
may lead to unwanted disclosure of private information, such as remote pinning
service API keys. Fix by sending stdout to /dev/null.
Commit 8109d8a set the `StateDirectory=` option of the systemd service
configuration to the value of `cfg.workDir` which is wrong, according
to dasJ [1]. This commit resolves this issue by stripping the
`/var/lib/` prefix from `cfg.workDir`.

On one of the two machines I have running openldap, openldap failed to start due to a "timeout". Increasing the allowed startup delay didn't help.
I noticed the following in logs:
```
openldap.service: Got notification message from PID 5224, but reception only permitted for main PID 5223
```
It turns out that on this machine at least, openldap apparently sends the notification from a non-main process, which means that we need this NotifyAccess setting for systemd to record that it successfully started. Without it, after 30 seconds systemd kills the process because it didn't receive the sd_notify call.
Somehow the other machine I have on nixos running ldap works fine even without this, but I could not figure out what changes the behavior.
Given that AFAIU NotifyAccess still restricts to "from the cgroup of the service", I think this change should be safe.
