I often run commands such as `nix run nixpkgs#live-server` because I want to run a tool without adding it to my environment.
However, if it's been a little while since I last used `nix run`, this first downloads 40+ MiB of…stuff, spins for a bit, and only *then* downloads the tool (and any deps) and runs it.
I guess this is because the `nixpkgs` flake was updated(?), but I really don't need to be on the tip of `nixpkgs-unstable` when I run some silly tool. Is there a better way of doing this that I should know about? :)
