 Modify in-place a nix module that configures syncthing device ids.  This file can used as a normal `include` in nixos configs.  This eliminates the need to copy-paste these device IDs around.

     If `name` is not specified, $HOSTNAME is used.

+### Installation
+
+You can use this repo as a channel.
+
+Or, you can use an overlay.  For example, you could create a `~/.config/nixpkgs/overlays/syncthing-set-id.nix` with this in it:
+
+    self: super:
+    let
+      syncthing-set-id-pkgs = import (builtins.fetchGit {
+        url = "https://scottworley.com/syncthing-set-id.git";

+        rev = "0c29f01e83fdadd491b930a9108519be03c7937d";
+      }) { pkgs = self; };
+    in { inherit (syncthing-set-id-pkgs) syncthing-set-id; }
+
+And then
+
+    $ nix-env -iA nixos.syncthing-set-id
