When I don't have ca-certificates.crt, I get SSL errors
These are fixed when I add this file. e.g. for my microos installation, installing https://software.opensuse.org/package/ca-certificates-steamtricks fixes it
It would be nice if we could use nix-portable without generating a certificate bundle.
