What's the model of the pinning? Is it an arbitrary semver? Is it a sha256 calculated by the content of the package (Content Addressed)? Is it a checksum calculated from all the inputs that were used to create the package install spec (Input Addressed)?

But is it pure?
Meanwhile init7 are offering an even faster connection for about a quarter of the price.
Repeatable, not reproduicible...

NixOS doesn't follow the UNIX philosophy in many ways, especially when it comes to systemd. If you want NixOS you will have to use systemd and embrace it. Otherwise you can go the Guix route and try to make the most out of the much inferior ecosystem.
