+  # There's an optional binary cache available. The details are below, but they're commented out.
+  #
+  # Why? The terrible experience of being prompted to accept them on every single Nix command run.
+  # Plus, there are warnings shown about not being a trusted user on a default Nix install
+  # if you *do* say yes to the prompts.
+  #
+  # This experience makes having `nixConfig` in a flake a persistent UX problem.
+  #
+  # To make use of the binary cache, please add the relevant settings to your `nix.conf`.
+  # It's located at `/etc/nix/nix.conf` on non-NixOS systems. On NixOS, adjust the `nix.settings`
+  # option in your NixOS configuration to add `extra-substituters` and `extra-trusted-public-keys`,
+  # as shown below.
