You can always set "RESOURCE_PATH" and load your files from there.

Sure, assuming this is your own software. The context of the article is on working towards a general approach to relocatable nix binaries so I don't think that's going to scale across nixpkgs.

If you don't own the software, the software can do many things to break nix' relocatable binaries too.
