UPDATE: We now have a forum

https://forum.aux.computer/

I like #Nix, I do not like what has happened to it. #NixOS is an incredible technology and it deserves better. Nobody else has started the process so I guess I have to be the one to do it. We are forking. I would rather try and fail alongside all the people who love Nix but were pushed away from the project than give up.

This isn't something that needs to be answered now or even soon, but should definitely be a consideration for a Nix fork:

What is the plan for binary caches?

One of the things I know about the Nix ecosystem as an outsider is the extensive (and expensive) binary cache infra. Would this project eventually try to replicate what Nix did or go about it somewhat differently?

@win8linux yes, in some form. Phase 4 of the roadmap (Infrastructure) calls out the need for a binary cache solution.

Thanks, looking forward to seeing how the project will go about doing that! If that's in the website then apologies, since it isn't loading here.

@win8linux ah, hmm not sure why that would be. It seems up for me at the moment but maybe I have it cached.

Depending on how new the domain is, could be DNS propagation?

Update: The website is loading here now! It prolly was DNS propagation.

It's always DNS.
