+Rebooted my laptop for the first time since last November and the wifi stopped
+working, fucking Linux.  Spent 30 minutes dicking around trying to debug stuff
+by searching on my phone until I did what I should have done in the past, which
+was look at my notes, which pointed me at the actual problem: `wpa_supplicant`.
+Last November I had to disable it to get the wifi working, but now apparently
+I needed to *enable* it for `NetworkManager` to work:
+
+    sudo systemctl unmask wpa_supplicant
+    sudo systemctl enable wpa_supplicant
+    sudo systemctl start wpa_supplicant
+    sudo systemctl status wpa_supplicant
+    sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager
