Crony Akatsuki (balkan/slav) | I love luks encryption + tpm2 unlock on my desktop | 08:53:12 |
focu5 | it's been seamless, i have my nas root dataset passkey encrypted and other datasets encrypted by file keys that are in the root dataset | 08:53:24 |
focu5 | * it's been seamless, i have my nas root dataset passkey encrypted and other pool datasets encrypted by file keys that are in the root dataset | 08:53:34 |
focu5 | * it's been seamless, i have my nas root dataset password prompt encrypted and other pool datasets encrypted by file keys that are in the root dataset | 08:53:49 |
magic_rb | I dont use it for 2 reasons:
- Metadata leaks
- LUKS has been independently audited, zfs has not
| 08:54:06 |
Crony Akatsuki (balkan/slav) | that reminds me, gotta setup secure boot on my desktop again after the reinstall | 08:55:01 |
focu5 |
- I am aware and leaking dataset properties and the name is fine
- Didn't know but it should be mostly fine? I don't have too many sensitive things
| 08:55:13 |
focu5 | it does make snapshotting and backup easier if the encryption is a part of zfs | 08:56:07 |
magic_rb | True, i just am too paranoid ig :) | 08:56:41 |

Crony Akatsuki (balkan/slav) | magic_rb: I would like to start changing some ssd's on my system to a zfs filesystem today, have time to help? | 16:22:59 |
magic_rb | sure | 16:23:16 |
Crony Akatsuki (balkan/slav) | tnx, so first how do I go about getting zfs into my nixos setup ( as in bring it in since it's out of the tree ) | 16:24:13 |
magic_rb | if you base your system on disko with a config such as https://github.com/nix-community/disko/blob/master/example/zfs.nix nixos will automatically figure out zfs is needed and pull it in | 16:28:53 |
Crony Akatsuki (balkan/slav) | ahmy drives that I plan on moving to zfs rn are not inside of disko, but mounted using fileSystems.MountPoint | 16:30:45 |
Crony Akatsuki (balkan/slav) | * my drives that I plan on moving to zfs rn are not inside of disko, but mounted using fileSystems.MountPoint | 16:30:51 |
Crony Akatsuki (balkan/slav) | I don't have them inside disko becase they are not mounted always but only mounted when I need them, like when I'm running a backup for example | 16:35:15 |
magic_rb | ah, then uh, https://search.nixos.org/options?channel=25.11&query=supportedFilesystems&show=boot.supportedFilesystems so
boot.supportedFilesystem = [ "zfs" ]; | 16:49:29 |

| prescientmoon changed their profile picture. | 11:08:01 |
Crony Akatsuki (balkan/slav) | hey, sorry for not answering before had some issue getting zfs cause of the cachy os kernel flake I was using and now have been able to get zfs installed | 17:39:52 |
Crony Akatsuki (balkan/slav) | so how would I go about formatting a drive with zfs, for example my backup drive where I save my restic backups? | 17:40:48 |
magic_rb | Ill share a snippet, sec | 17:59:37 |
magic_rb | @crony:cronyakatsuki.xyz actually, i need to go for a walk, touch some grass yk. Ill send it to you a bit later, but still today | 18:04:03 |
Crony Akatsuki (balkan/slav) | np, tho that will prob be tomorrow for me (it's 7pm here, gonna go to sleep soon) | 18:04:34 |
magic_rb | 7pm here too :P | 18:04:48 |
magic_rb | My sleep schedule is just fucked up | 18:04:54 |
Crony Akatsuki (balkan/slav) | my sleep schedule moves according to my work, sometimes I wake up at 3am sometimes at 8am | 18:05:22 |
