enable ssh
use usermod to rename pi to cygnus
make a shoofle user, add her to sudoers with usermod, move the ssh pubkey over
set up samba
set up a samba password for the cygnus user maybe, so that i can get into the cygnus home folder
install nginx?
added the following lines to /etc/fstab to get 55 cancri b and ct chameleontis b to mount!!!

changed this later so that it mounted Gliese 180 a/b to /mnt/sthose, might eventually move them to /media, whatever
now editing the /etc/samba/smb.conf or whatever to reflect the new locations of those folders
gotta install fuse and ntfs-3g with apt-get
make sure that at least the relevant parts of the data store are chmod 777 because they need access from the guest user
installed nginx!
wrote a little landing page letting people know what cygnus is.
installed smartmontools for monitoring drive healt
installed fortune-mod so i can get fortunes
installed python-is-python3 and python3-pip so that i can have python working better
wrote the service and timer files for updating the fortune, then symlinked them into /etc/systemd/system/
if i want to restart them i can do `systemctl restart cygnus`, and perhaps if i want to reload the config file i do `systemctl daemon-reload`? oh also remember `systemctl list-timers`
minor note but in the scripts to be run by the system, make sure that things don't depend on environment variables and such unless you really want it. for example use the explicit full path to a program instead of just `fortune` use `/usr/games/fortune` because the environment configures where to look for executables.
installed yt-dl (through apt) and then yt-dlp because yt-dl didn't work https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp#installation
symlinked the ssh tunnel service into /etc/systemd/system/ so that i get an always-on ssh tunnel!!!
finally realized i never did `systemctl enable cygnus.timer --now` so the timer never started which is why my daily task hasn't been running. remedied.
installed mlocate so i can search for things
gotta make it so that it rsyncs things regularly. hrm. apparently that's `rsync -av "/so/urce" "/desti/nation"`. added a backups.service and backups.timer that should be good enough for this purpose. let's try it. gonna ln -s them into /etc/systemd/system
