    warning: You have the lix overlay included into a nixpkgs import twice,
    perhaps due to the NixOS module being included twice, or because of using
    pkgs.nixos and also including it in imports, or perhaps some unknown
    machinations of a complicated flake library.
    This is completely harmless since we have no-op'd the second one if you are
    seeing this message, but it would be a small style improvement to fix
    it :)
    P.S. If you had some hack to fix nixos-option build failures in your
    configuration, that was caused by including an older version of the lix
    overlay twice, which is now mitigated if you see this message, so you can
    delete that.
    P.P.S. This Lix has super catgirl powers.
