I'm proud @Replit has been able to support the open-source work of @flokli on making Snix support of all the nix-daemon protocol operations needed to be a lower overlay store. This will ultimately mean simpler and more cost effective package caching for all Replit apps. ๐
@ryantm@Replit This has been a team effort from multiple Snix contributors - Vova and Griff did a lot of the work on writing the daemon protocol adapter and low-level serializers / deserializers, so Nix' local-overlay has the endpoint to query all necessary metadata.
As Ocean Sprint is wrapping up, we'd like to thank all sponsors who made it happen.
Without them the event wouldn't be able to happen, covering the costs of catering and all activities so we were able to focus on getting things done.

@joschelboschel It's a bit between the lines of each update, and we started collecting some next steps in our (still very WIP) docs. Check the latest update, which went out a moment ago.
@domenkozar@Lenovo Find one configuration you like in Lenovo PSREF and ask a local reseller for exactly that, linking to the page. They usually can order it.
Wrote a little tool, sockburp, to debug and compare responses from two different services listening on unix domain sockets. Helped @picnoir_ to debug ns(n)cd responses: https://t.co/xSNV8jED9U #nsncd#nixos
Another important milestone reached today for #tvix !
We now have tooling to (quickly, sub-second) start VMs executing binaries (and closures) from a tvix-store running on the host, passed in via virtiofs, without any need to rebuild initrds.
