If you have a different machine with more ram and compute, you can use 'nixos-rebuild --target-host=<server> switch'. That does all the nix building on the local machine, and then just copies binaries and activates the built

I think one of the culprits of this bad default is docker containers. Since docker by default runs your code in a separate network namespace, in that context '127.0.0.1' really means "accessible inside the container, effectiv

Yes it's valid. I am not a lawyer, this is not legal advice. As programmers, our instinct is to try to interpret things literally, as if they can be represented by math or code. Copyright is a thing of the law, and laws are not like th

netip is one of the newer additions to the stdlib (added in ~2022), and follows the venerable stringly typed error idiom. I always interpreted the preference for stringly typed errors as a way to keep the Go language simpler. Good error han
