Hey y'all, I'm Graham the CEO of DetSys. Determinate Secure Packages has been a huge effort we've made to help customers in the national security, medical, aerospace, etc. industries more comfortable using Nix in their workflows.

In pretty much every Nix consulting gig I’ve ever had, I’ve been asked something like "well, what about security patching?" This has been a high priority goal since I started Determinate Systems. We just had to build a lot of infrastructure and maturity as a company to make it feasible :).

Anyway, if you have any questions I'd be glad to answer. Thanks!

Yikes! This is exactly the kind of invariant I'd expect Aurora to maintain on my behalf. It is why I pay them so much...

It's a bit streamlined over the LnL7 Nix Docker solution I would be recommending yesterday.

On a Linux machine, if the development works, the container build will usually work. For MacOS users, they have to wonder a lot more, and you want them to be answer the question on their own, so it's important to have a Linux builder available for them.

Yeah! It also skips a lot of IO and other complicated bits, which hopefully pans out to being more reliable and performant!

DetSys CEO here. We've been working on this for months, and I am so excited for this to be out. This is the third time I've been part of a Linux remote builder on macOS, and we got it right this time. It is magical. The VM just comes and goes on demand. There's no SSH keys, IPs, remote store copying, it is almost completely transparent. Let me know if you have questions :)

Hey folks, Determinate Systems CEO here. I'm really happy about this release, and what it means for our ability to get features like parallel evaluation, lazy trees, and other work into customer hands and ultimately -- ideally -- merged upstream with a higher degree of confidence.

I'll be available to for questions and whatnot!
