Emotions, emotions...

• decide to reinstall nix on one of your machines because it's a mess 🚀
• bug in nix-hardware, PR pending 😭
• maintainer has a repo with shadow branch 🚀
• gotta compile kernel... ok no probs, I can stand a few hours of fans going nuts 🚀
• livecd installer tries to compile a full scope generic kernel on an 8GB tmpfs 😬
• out of space 😭
• -o remount,size=24GB🚀
• everything dies (while out of space) 😭
• --bind a dir on your clean new disk deep into the tree ✅
