+# nixos-system-config
+Modular multi-purpose NixOS configuration.
+
+## About
+Feel free to do whatever with this configuration.  
+This configuration [erases your darlings](https://grahamc.com/blog/erase-your-darlings/) using ZFS snapshots.  
+Currently only used for my homeserver, [desktop runs on Gentoo](https://git.dirae.org/caem/dotfiles).
