 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 |

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 |
| hexa | Is this more than a code drop? | 22:14:06 |
| hexa | I am more than happy with nix-serve-ng and harmonoa | 22:14:45 |
| hexa | * | 22:14:50 |
 Sandro 🐧 | probably related to https://github.com/NixOS/hydra/pull/1694 | 23:35:38 |
| hexa | certainly | 23:38:57 |
| hexa | but archiving nix-serve would have been an okay move | 23:39:10 |

| Mic92 | I think eelco already in the past expressed that nix-server is not really maintained anymore... | 00:00:01 |
| Mic92 | So he might be fine, putting the nail in the coffin. | 00:00:15 |
