DetSys seems to have made a security release to NixCpp. The primary risk is leaking of netrc credentials through a crafted derivation plus an attacker-in-the-middle. Users of the experimental feature impure-derivations are at greater risk. FlakeHub Cache users and users of impure derivations sh...

What you're doing is equivalent to
nix-shell -p "grim slurp"
Which won't work because nix-shell expects
nix-shell -p "grim" "slurp"
Which then becomes
{...}@args: with import <nixpkgs> args; (pkgs.runCommandCC or pkgs.runCommand) "shell" { buildInputs = [ (grim) (slurp) ]; } ""
According to the manual
nix-shell --packagesinterprets each command line arguments as attribute names inside the Nix packages collection.
The error message is because you are giving multiple package names as a single argument.

Rockstar Games' servers have been under fire from DDoS attacks causing widespread login and connectivity issues for players of GTA Online.
> Rockstar Games' servers have been under heavy fire from massive DDoS attacks in recent days, causing widespread login and connectivity issues for players of GTA Online. These attacks come in the wake of Rockstar’s recent implementation of BattlEye, a new anti-cheat system designed to crack down on in-game cheating, sparking backlash from a segment of the player base. Protesters, unhappy with the new system, have resorted to using distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks to disrupt the servers, escalating tensions between the gaming giant and its community.

> Wayland Protocols has long had a problem with new protocols sitting for months, to years at a time for even basic functionality.
> This is hugely problematic when some protocols implement very primitive and basic functionality such as frog-fifo-v1, which is needed for VSync to not cause GPU starvation under Wayland and also fix the dreaded application freezing when windows are occluded with FIFO/VSync enabled.
> We need to get protocols into end-users hands quicker! The main reason many users are still using X11 is because of missing functionality that we can be shipping today, but is blocked for one reason or another.

According to one of the maintainers
YouTube/Google has patched the latest workaround that we had in order to restore the video playback functionality.
Right now we have no other solutions/fixes. You may be able to get Invidious working on residential IP addresses (like at home) but on datacenter IP addresses Invidious won't work anymore.
