ayoooo guys im having trouble setting wifi passwords in my nix flake so that my laptop will connect to my home wifi network by default
i have setup like this:

networking.wireless.enable = true;

networking.wireless.networks = {
  "Bonkek" = {
    psk = "Kek12";
  };
};

where my hotspot is ubiquity with wpa2/wpa3

Is anyone well-versed enough in Flakes internals to know how Nix turns a flakeref string (i.e. "github:nixos/nixpkgs") into a URL? Or, if it doesn't do that, how it works with the input without having an intermediary URL stage?

I have a project where I take the flake.lock data and reconstruct the input data into a URL, so I can use git ls-remote and see if the input has changed at all (so I can see which inputs would be updated, without waiting the 15-30 seconds for nix flake update to run). However, I've run into less easy input types to work with, and it's made me question whether I'm reinventing the wheel here.

github: is just a shorthand for github.com/nixos/nixpkgs that uses a special endpoint at github to fetch the archive efficiently

oh IDK how I missed that, thank you

Or try https://github.com/edolstra/flake-compat/blob/master/default.nix#L21 for a project that also does the fetching itself
