AAAAAAAH this has plagued me for a year! I must fix it.

See error when trying to copy binary across to cache machine.

nix copy --to ssh://cache.michaelpetersen.io nixpkgs#grayjay --impure

It appears to be the nixPath nixpkgs-overlays declaration... Not certain of it's benefits or if I really even need it anyways.

So just commenting it out for now.
