# Major differences:
* sops/age for secrets
* persistence/impermanence
* Yubikeys are great, if you use them correctly
https://www.procustodibus.com/blog/2023/04/how-to-set-up-a-yubikey/
* generate age public key from host's existing SSH keypair
nix-shell -p ssh-to-age --run 'cat /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key.pub | ssh-to-age'
* trigger first encryption of a secrets file
EDITOR=vi sops --config .sops.yaml --encrypt --in-place nixos/_mixins/secrets.yaml
* edit secrets in that file later
* When SOPS complains about your ~/.gnupg/secring.pgp file not being there try:
export GPG_TTY=$(tty)
gpgconf --reload gpg-agent
* SOPS

export SOPS_PGP_FP="D4BB42BE729AEFBD2EFEBF8822931AF7895E82DF"
sops -e /etc/ssh/ssh_host_id > hosts/floki/
* labels
* btrfs
* sudo btrfs filesystem label <mountpoint|device> <newlabel>
* luks
* FAT
* sudo fatlabel <device> <newlabel>
* swap (see: https://discourse.nixos.org/t/how-do-i-set-up-a-swap-file/8323/7)
* udevadm trigger
