The symlink in the home directory points into the nix store and will get stale over time.

$ ls -lah .config/systemd/user/auto-fix-vscode-server.service
lrwxrwxrwx sandro users 110 B Tue Nov  1 17:38:07 2022  .config/systemd/user/auto-fix-vscode-server.service ⇒ /nix/store/dq7agb0d9x6z71425nk2qy24c67r40hh-unit-auto-fix-vscode-server.service/auto-fix-vscode-server.service

This can be fixed with ln -sf /run/current-system/etc/systemd/user/auto-fix-vscode-server.service ~/.config/systemd/user/auto-fix-vscode-server.service to always point the service to the current generation.
