 connor (he/him) | okay it's not happening tonight, didn't get the chance to write up the PR | 07:46:27 |
 Alexandros Liarokapis | I just now saw the nvidia announcement about third party distribution platforms | 20:13:11 |
| Alexandros Liarokapis | Is flox’s binary cache blessed or are there plans to integrate the binaries to hydra somehow ? | 20:13:57 |
 Gaétan Lepage | Which Hydra are you thinking about? NixOS's official hydra.nixos.org? | 20:16:37 |
| Alexandros Liarokapis | Yea pretty much | 20:16:57 |
| Gaétan Lepage | Then, no. NVIDIA libraries's license do not allow them to be redistributed by anyone, including NixOS's binary cache.
Flox made an exceptional agreement with NVIDIA directly. | 20:18:36 |
| Alexandros Liarokapis | Oh okay interesting | 20:19:03 |

| Alexandros Liarokapis | There is also the nix community cache | 00:24:17 |
| Alexandros Liarokapis | Does that have an actual allowance to redistribute or is it in a weird grey legal zone or similar | 00:24:43 |
 hexa | grey zone | 00:35:22 |
| hexa | the flox cache is weird, because it doesn't align with nixos channel bumps | 00:35:37 |
| hexa | and doesn't provide builds for stable nixos | 00:35:57 |
 Robbie Buxton | Yeah it’s bit vibe based and weird but it’s a step in the right direction. Nvidia is notoriously difficult to deal with so the fact we even have this is pretty good lol | 00:37:08 |
| hexa | the grey area nix-community cache was working prety well though 😄 | 00:38:51 |
