Setup nix, nix-darwin and home-manager from scratch on an M1 Macbook Pro
###
### [2023-06-19] UPDATE: Just tried to use my instructions again on a fresh install and it failed in a number of places.
###. Not sure if I'll update this gist (though I realise it seems to still have some traffic), but here's a list of
###. things to watch out for:
### - Check out the `nix-darwin` instructions, as they have changed.
### - There's a home manager gotcha https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/issues/4026
###
# I found some good resources but they seem to do a bit too much (maybe from a time when there were more bugs).
# So here's a minimal Gist which worked for me as an install on a new M1 Pro.

Arch Linux Full-Disk Encryption Installation Guide [Encrypted Boot, UEFI, NVMe, Evil Maid]

Arch Linux Full-Disk Encryption Installation Guide

This guide provides instructions for an Arch Linux installation featuring full-disk encryption via LVM on LUKS and an encrypted boot partition (GRUB) for UEFI systems.

Following the main installation are further instructions to harden against Evil Maid attacks via UEFI Secure Boot custom key enrollment and self-signed kernel and bootloader.

Preface

You will find most of this information pulled from the Arch Wiki and other resources linked thereof.

Note: The system was installed on an NVMe SSD, substitute /dev/nvme0nX with /dev/sdX or your device as needed.

A script to query the Amazon Web Services usage reports programmatically.
Ideally this wouldn't exist, and Amazon would provide an API we can use
instead, but hey - that's life.
Basically takes your AWS account username and password, logs into the
website as you, and grabs the data out. Always gets the 'All Usage Types'
