Sorry for [the necrobump](https://discourse.nixos.org/t/how-do-you-feel-about-necrobumping-replying-to-an-old-thread/12207) but got confused by the comment to downvote because both answers are great - but only because [Lily Ballard](https://discourse.nixos.org/u/lilyball) superbly rewrote both from scratch. Thank you!
