(What about options in flakes.nix? Should I search those on the flakes/options tab?)

Not quite sure what you mean here. I normally only configure out-of-tree packages as flake modules (or whatever the term is), and I don't think there is an official collection/search page for these. It's mainly that certain packages require it like lanzaboote, and home-manager for that matter.

Once I enabled home-manager, I saw that in ~/.config/nixos a flakes.nix and a home.nix files appeared. I already have a flake.nix and a home.nix files in my etc/nixos directory. What’s going on?

It sounds like you configured home-manager system wide, probably through /etc/nixos/flake.nix, but then called the home-manager executable. If you did configure it like this then you do not need to call home-manager ever since nixos-rebuild etc commands will handle this for you.

Does putting packages in configuration.nix use the version control flakes provide?

Typically, it will be configured to follow inputs.nixpkgs so packages will use versions of whatever revision is currently pulled. In my system that is:

inputs.nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";

and then you essentially pass that to configuration.nix, and home.nix.

And although you seem to already be using flakes, when you call:

nix flake update

a new revision of input.nixpkgs will be pulled, and so packages configured in configuration.nix will be updated when you next call

nixos-rebuild switch

or whatever you used to update your system.

if you haven't already as there is where I got started from for the most part. There's a lot more detail I missed since nix and flakes are pretty complex (and I don't fully understand much of it either).

System packages in configuration.nix, user packages in home.nix. I'd say anything that is non-interactive and/or requires root access is a good rule of thumb for system packages. Beyond that I try to use modules for configuring packges and there is usually only one of nixos and home manager options (sometimes there are duplicates).

As for flakes I mostly use it to handle a bunch of different systems from one config and any flake specific configs. I also use standalone flakes for dev environments but that's not related to the system config.

They are planning to use KVM under the hood in the future. But who cares when we have qemu and libvirt.

It was mostly the girls doing that, and they haven't gone as hard right.

It's rumored Jeffries was instrumental in the congestion pricing delay (that may now be a permanent delay).

If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.

Yeah, it would have just been feeding their infinitely expandable persecution fetish. The same goes for the legal cases against Trump. It was the right thing to do, but it just meant that Trump supporters dug in their heels even more.

Silver linings and all of that. Lake is a real piece of work and now a two-time loser.

The irony being that healthy teeth don't look anywhere near that white.

It's not just men that believe this either. Internalised misogyny is still a thing, unfortunately.

It can work if it's combined with batteries. And heat pumps are a no brainer, even in cold regions.

Life imitating art. And it's unsurprising that these people have the maturity of teenage boys.
