ops/nixos: verify our initrd+ssh setups

#434
Opened by tazjin at 2025-01-11T19·00+00

sterni points out in https://cl.tvl.fyi/c/depot/+/12968/6..8/ops/machines/bugry/default.nix#b19 that there might be some issues with the scripted initrd setup when not using systemd in the initrd.

For now these seem to work fine, and moving away from them seemingly requires a bunch of toil work, but we should investigate this and figure out if/why anything needs doing.

  1. We should probably check on whitby's initrd and reboot it soon to get it out of its weird state atm (b/427). //users/sterni/machine/ingeborg uses a similar update and I've been able to reboot it recently-ish successfully (though in july/august 2024 ssh initrd was broken in nixpkgs).
