 Lisanna | FWIW, recursive nix is slated to be removed soon. You may also want https://matrix.to/#/#users:nixos.org for future support, this is a development channel ^-^ | 17:45:32 |
|  isabel changed their profile picture. | 18:47:06 |

 John Ericson | Eelco: I forgot about https://github.com/edolstra/nix-serve | 16:40:07 |
| John Ericson | that is the other perl consumer | 16:40:22 |
 hexa | I'd argue nix-serve is fairly obsolete | 16:40:45 |
| hexa | with nix-serve-ng and harmonia | 16:40:49 |
| hexa | Redacted or Malformed Event | 16:40:57 |
| hexa | Redacted or Malformed Event | 16:41:00 |
| John Ericson | yeah | 16:42:46 |
| John Ericson | harmonia I guess does everything it does? (I am not very famliiar` with the binary part of haronia, just the underlying libraries) | 16:43:17 |
| hexa | expose the local /nix/store as a binary cache with signing | 16:47:09 |
| hexa | is what both of these do | 16:47:14 |
| John Ericson | OK | 16:51:39 |
| John Ericson | makes sense | 16:51:41 |
| John Ericson | I am gona vibecode nix-serve into c++ for fun :) | 16:52:02 |
| John Ericson | and then Eelco can choose what he wants to do | 16:52:19 |

harmonia I guess does everything it does? (I am not very famliiar` with the binary part of haronia, just the underlying libraries) It's feature complete as far as I can tell. | 17:06:42 |

I am gona vibecode nix-serve into c++ for fun :) I tried many years ago. But there was no nice c++ Webserver... Maybe there is a decent c one? | 17:08:00 |
| John Ericson | I see this "httplib" | 17:09:51 |
| Mic92 | Make sure they do fuzzing. Otherwise it can't be trusted | 17:11:22 |
 Mindavi | In reply to @Ericson2314:matrix.org
I see this "httplib" A colleague of mine used it and it made copies of buffers while they wrote everything to prevent copying :(. But otherwise they were pretty happy with it, I think. I think they used it as client though, not as server (the serverside was rust tokio) | 17:12:08 |
| Mic92 | We still mention nix-serve in our docs. Would be worth mentioning some alternatives | 17:12:19 |
|  llakala set a profile picture. | 17:12:32 |
| Mic92 | @Ericson2314:matrix.org: https://github.com/Mic92/cache-shootout/tree/main you have to beat the competition. | 17:14:15 |
| John Ericson | I meant to be claer, I think people should use harmonia :) | 17:14:51 |
| John Ericson | https://github.com/edolstra/nix-serve/pull/71 https://github.com/edolstra/nix-serve/pull/72 --- nix-serve in C++ | 22:12:43 |
| hexa | And who needs that? | 22:13:39 |
