I’ve discovered one big downside of [putting systemd times into ~/.config/systemd/user/][1]: They stop running when you log out.
Two ways around this problem:
Bite the bullet, and install the timers into /etc/systemd/. This means giving up chezmoi version control, making the overall system more snowflake-y. I’m not crazy about it. Remote in with tmux, instead of ever logging out, just use C-b d to detach from the session. I’m going with #2.

Turns out there's a third way around this problem: Just use loginctl enable-linger. 🤦‍♂️
