Impermanent NixOS: on a VM + tmpfs root + flakes + LUKS

https://willbush.dev/blog/impermanent-nixos/

<p>Ever since reading Graham Christensen's blog post, Erase your darlings, I've been intrigued by the idea of opt-in state persistence. The concept has become known as impermanence , but I like to think of it as:</p> <blockquote> <p>I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.</p> </blockquote>

impermanent

Isn't that called ephemeral these days?

Hmm, not sure. That's what I was going to call it at first. I couldn't find much either way, but I did find this which uses ephemeral to describe it. Perhaps I should rename it.
