Hi, I'm experiencing some weird issues with code and NixOS on WSL. Has anyone else encountered a similar problem?

➜  ~ where code
/mnt/c/Users/User/AppData/Local/Programs/Microsoft VS Code/bin/code
➜  ~ where code
➜  ~ code nix-config
/mnt/c/Users/User/AppData/Local/Programs/Microsoft VS Code/Code.exe:1
MZx

SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token
    at wrapSafe (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1472:18)
    ...
Node.js v20.19.4

It looks like code is trying to execute a binary as a Node.js script. Not sure what's going on.

@k900:0upti.meK900 Do you have a custom binfmt registration for Node or something
10:54:02
@declnix:matrix.orgdeclnix

To be honest it is kind good question

➜  ~ mount | grep binfmt_misc
binfmt_misc on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw,relatime)

@k900:0upti.meK900Hm that seems normal11:03:04
@declnix:matrix.orgdeclnixIf it is crucial for sometime I was trying to use https://github.com/nix-community/nixos-vscode-server11:18:53
@nzbr:nzbr.denzbr (they/it)Can you connect through the vscode ui instead of the terminal? Does that work?11:26:28
@declnix:matrix.orgdeclnixYes it works through ui11:29:52

I switched to using Colmena for all my machine's config today. I ran apply-local on my WSL machine and then afterwards ran sudo nix-collect-garbage -d. While the collector was running it suddenly aborted with:

Wsl/Service/E_UNEXPECTED

And when I pressed enter to restart that would just reappear. If I exit WSL, use wsl --shutdown then open WSL again, it works fine. But if I run the collector again it aborts.
