For some reason, during TacoSprint 2026 I decided to see if we could tackle relocatable binaries in Nix.
Remote Builds - Nix Reference Manual
Nix supports remote builds, where a local Nix installation can forward Nix builds to other machines. This allows multiple builds to be performed in parallel and allows Nix to perform multi-platform builds in a semi-transparent way. For instance, if you perform a build for a x86_64-darwin on an i686-linux machine, Nix can automatically forward the build to a x86_64-darwin machine, if available.
Nix & NixOS | Declarative builds and deployments
Nix is a tool that takes a unique approach to package management and system configuration. Learn how to make reproducible, declarative and reliable systems.
Any Nix package, live in your browser
tl;dr Try it at https://trynix.dev. Click hello, or python 3.6.2 from 2017, or two eras of hello at once, or a package that exists in no public cache. A Linux machine boots in the tab and you get a shell with those Nix packages on PATH.

Spirallex/rust-pds
Single-binary AT Protocol PDS in Rust (macOS) + device-portable stelyph-core that runs on-device in iOS. Self-hosted Bluesky federation.
OMGGG you can now self-host lichen.wiki in a container !!!! (we also have a nix flake) wikis still live on people's PDSes, your instance sees the same wikis, nothing to migrate! you can put one wiki at the root of your own domain, or several (eg like one per language) guide here on tangled :
SELF-HOSTING.md at main · juprodh.me/lichen.wiki
tangled.org
