PSA: All infrastructure powering nixbuild.net is patched for copy.fail. Worth mentioning is that even before patching, builds was not directly affected, since every build runs in its own lightweight VM, considerably reducing the scope of the vulnerability

Copy Fail — 732 Bytes to Root

CVE-2026-31431. 100% Reliable Linux LPE — no race, no per-distro offsets, page-cache write that bypasses on-disk file-integrity tools and crosses containers. Found by Xint Code.

A few months ago I started using #NixOS and I was blown away. Here's the result: a deep dive into how #unix systems manage software, and how #nix nukes this structure and replaces it with a design fit for the 21st century. economicsfromthetopdown.com/…

Nixing Technological Lock In – Economics from the Top Down

I take a dive into the world of software and look at the problem of managing dependencies. From the Unix design, we've inherited many problems. Can we nix them with 'Nix'?

Synthetic fish isn't quite there yet—and may not be worth the effort.
