 from my experience the process is more involved, but it ultimately boils down to those three commands above (the first command is only for bootstrapping). youll need to make a configuration for your host which involves creating default configurations with `nixos-generate-config`, copying it to your host's folder in `nixos/hosts/[host]/`, editing it, and then adding it to `flake.nix`. after that you should clone the repo inside of `/home/rae/` on your filesystem
 
+FOOTNOTE: the `r5e` option set is importantm,, for Difnerent thigs,. Its individual segments can be found in:
+
+- `docker/default.nix` - this file imports other files which use the r5e set to provide options for configuring predefined docker containers without needing to write yucky yaml, that dumbfuck piece of shit I HATE that STUPID Yaml (see the subdirectories' default.nix files for configuration options)
+- i lied HAHA, that is all the set is used for, ill probably make it more all-encompassing when the need for such a thing actually arises ...

 ## raspberry PI devices
 
 [raspberry-pi-nix](https://github.com/nix-community/raspberry-pi-nix) is used to build PI sd card images. have yur lil sd card on hand (paw) and run in the root of the repository:

+### ermm???

+O.K., just take the image in `result/sd-image/[whatever]`, decompress it with zstd, then run `dd if=[decompressed image] of=[sd card device WITHOUT partition number] status=progress`
+
+the system will automatically resize the root partition to match the size of the SD card, and from there any changes in post should likely be made over ssh...

+ssh isnt automatically setup in a way that lets you do this from the start, you should define it in your host configuration beforehand. near has a decent example of this that you can look over if yu want...

 # usage
 
 the system should boot into openbox and from there you'll have your statusbar and a lot of keybinds to learn x3
