So how this differs from LUKS2 style, which also systemd supports where
the encryption key is anchored to PCR's? If I took hard drive out of my
Linux box, I could not decrypt it in another machine because of this.

So what happens when you reconnect?

Right, interesting use case. Begin before any technical jargon exactly
with a great example like this. Then it is easier to start to anchoring
