```diff
- nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
+ nixpkgs.url = "git+https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs?shallow=1&ref=nixpkgs-unstable";
```

nixos/nixpkgs vs cd-rom
We heard you. We agree.
In light of recent developments in physical media, GitHub is proud to announce that you can now obtain your public repo on CD-ROM.
Keep it. Lend it to friends. Pass it on to your children.
Your code is physically yours, forever. Until you lose it, let's be real.
