<p>I'm Australian and the only things measured in imperial units is babies (stones? But I think younger parents now use metric, but my parents only know baby weights in stones), beer (pints, but not the same as overseas I think, also it can vary by state), certain types of land units ("acerage" is a common land plot size) and height (feet and inches, for some reason people don't understand it in metric)<p>These are all customary usage so I'd say we are completely switched over, we couldn't tell you generally what these units look like outside of "how big is a baby" or "how tall is that person" or "is my beer large or small" really.</p>

<p>Wouldn't you just re-encrypt the secrets with a new host key? That's what I usually do (boot once to generate keys, update the secrets, rebuild and switch remotely to the machine)</p>

<p>I was deploying some dotnet app and it broke because the devs baked a config key into the image that was otherwise unset, which enabled it trying to start a SSL endpoint without a cert, thus breaking the app.</p>

<p>I use nix, but I assume the same goes for guix, you write a package or run it with something that emulates a FHS (like steam-run, don't mind the name) and hope it works.<p>Writing a package is not as bad as it sounds, nix and guix have very little difference between "package maintainer" and "user" so most users probably can package software. Normally copying something from nixpkgs or similar will get you most the way there.</p>

<p>There is a large gap between public domain and GPL. For starters if Copilot is emitting GPL code for closed source projects... that's copyright infringement.</p>
