In the spirit of learning by doing, I decided to implement a simple blockchain
server. More work remains, but I'm tired after working on this for ~2-3h. I'd
like to reimplement this from memory using a statically typed language like
Haskell. I'd also like to implement node
discovery (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Satoshi_Client_Node_Discovery) because
that is still something I don't quite understand. But I'm signing-off for
now...

I think this is a form of symmetric encryption where the passphrase (e.g. "ICE")
is repeated (e.g. "ICEICEICEICEI...") until it matches the length of the
cleartext string; after that, the two byte-strings are XOR'd against one another
and then encoded as hexadecimal creating the ciphertext.

During the transition, I don't want to deal with stale links to

to be called `terraform taint`. Things are mostly WAI, with one known issue:
quasselcore and billandhiscomputer.com complain about missing SSL certs, but I
believe this is a race-condition. Calling...

After receiving another computer from Google and attempting to "easily"
install my configuration, I realized that I had some holes. In reality
these could (and perhaps should) be easily tested using CI that attempts
to cleanly install my configuration on various platfoms (e.g. Debian,
NixOS), but I'm not interested in supporting something like that (at
least not at the moment).
For now, it suffices to nixify some of the lingering shell scripts with
implicit dependencies on tools like `stow`.

Supporting SSH turned-out to be a bit of a saga... Thank you @espes and @grfn
for the pointers.
Problem: When I originally setup my Google VM, I followed this tutorial,
https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Install_NixOS_on_GCE, so I ended-up installing
`nixos-20-03`: an older version of NixOS, (the newest version in `gsutils ls -l
gs://nixos-images`). Critically, I missed this important footnote:
> NOTE: Newer images (from 20.09 on) won't be available at the bucket above, and
> will instead need to be found at
> <nixpkgs/nixos/modules/virtualisation/gce-images.nix>.
It turns out that *newer* images include this script...
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/virtualisation/fetch-instance-ssh-keys.bash
...which reads the key, "sshKeys", from the Google metadata server and copies
the value into /root/.ssh/authorized_keys.
To make matters a bit misleading, the NixOS script expects the key to be
"sshKeys", but Google deprecated that in favor of "ssh-keys" (hence why both
versions appear in this commit).
TL;DR:
- upgrading to a newer NixOS image
- adding an empty access_config block so Google will assign my VM an external IP
- removing oslogin (not necessary to do, and I may add it back later)
- adding my public SSH key as metadata
