Nix-Powered Development with OCaml
copy the extracted files over to the nix output dir, and patch-elf all the binaries to link to the nix-version of the dynamic lib.
This sounds more difficult than it is, the result will be a copied over binary file that has its “libc.so” and other dynamic libs replaced in the ELF-header with “/nix/store/hdjdewuieu737-libc/libc.so”. I recommend looking up a package in nixpkgs which has a similar install story, that’s the easiest way to write a new package.
In case you only want to run it locally https://github.com/thiagokokada/nix-alien and similar programs work fine with the binary.

It it secure to store LUKS full disk encryption keys in the TPM nowadays?
I've installed NixOS (a Linux distribution) to TerraMaster F2-423 NAS and enabled Secure boot with lanzaboote and LUKS full disk encryption. I enrolled my own secure boot keys becuase that looked like a requirement.
