Fair, and agreed. Though I will say that of all the tools I've used in the past, none have done declarative as well in the space of system config, stretching back in my personal experience through ansible, salt, chef, puppet, vagrant, cfengine and right on back to CMU depot. The thing that ever came closest was the internal build and deployment system at Amazon during the time I was there in the 2004-2008-ish era.
Yeah I understand and not saying that Nix way of doing things is bad. There are tons of tools now to do declarative, but sure since you are very well accustomed with nix stuff and it suits your needs, no point on switching to something else I guess.
I want to. As I said, I don't actually like nix itself. I desperately want what it's selling, I just don't want it as is. The instant another tool exists that gives me the right fraction of nix I do want, I will drop it like lead balloon.
This project grew much larger in scope than I had originally intended, and burnout made it impossible for me to do more with it. It was already getting incredibly unwieldy, so I apolog...
It's more on a 1 TB drive you can provision 2, 1 TB partitions on it. Each will think it has 1 TB, but it only consumes the current space actually on disk
