## Lib
The [lib](lib) directory contains a file `utils.nix` which is an attribute set
meant to consist mainly of utility functions you might want to write and use
throughout the configuration. They are available via a new `utils` attribute

Anything you wish to keep encrypted goes in the `secrets` directory, which is
created on first entering a `nix-shell`.
