I recently finished setting this up on my system after having a plan to do it for years beforehand and never following through. It turned out to be quite a bit easier than I thought; LUKS has built-in support for keyfiles, so all you have to do is add the keyfile as a valid key for your disk, then modify the mount options to use the keyfile by default. There’s a dedicated option to fail over to password-based authentication as well.

Nice, I’ll have to remember that GitHub trick. The main thing I’ve found lacking so far is config examples.

NixOS home server, gaming PC will soon move to Bazzite from Windows 10 (whenever I’m done working on my home server). I’m trying Bazzite for that machine because I use it more like a game console hooked up to the TV and don’t need the same level of tweaking and customization.

I’d say that if you’re an experienced developer, the learning curve is probably overstated, at least based on my limited experience. I’m still a relatively new user, but I’m feeling pretty comfortable with it so far.

Which of those things are you committing to do?

Gozz is correct. You’re misunderstanding the nature of a digital signal. What the author did was convert a digital signal to an analog signal, store that analog signal on a bird, then record that analog signal. Whether it was redigitized after the fact is irrelevant. It is not a digital process end-to-end. This is the same as if I were to download a YouTube video, record that video on a VHS tape, then redigitize that video. Not only would the end result not be a bit for bit match, it wouldn’t be a match at all despite containing some of the same visual information, because it would be the product of a digital-analog-digital conversion.
