Have you considered https://github.com/dolthub/dolt for your use case?

But Nix is the best way to build images for dockerc.

Nix can generate fat binaries for you all by itself; you can just skip dockerc. It's a one-liner:

    # nix bundle nixpkgs#hello
    # ./hello
    Hello, world!

Mostly playing around with stacking "powerful" words:

  King Kong + Power Ranger = King Kong Ranger (first)
  Megazord + Power Ranger = Power Megazord
  Megazord + Power Megazord or Artzord + Megazord = Ultrazord
  Dragonzord + Art = Artzord (first)
  Groot + Mega Artzord = Grootzord
  Megazord + Grootzord = Gigazord (first)
  Godzord + Giga Artzord = Giga Godzord (first)
  Giga Godzord + Giga Titanic Gigazord = Giga Titanic Godzord (first)
  Giga Titanic Godzord + Mega Power Godzillazord = Super Giga Mega Titanic Power Godzillazord (first)

I also got firsts on both Earthquake Laser and Laser Earthquake, but I'm not sure what the recipes were.

Trying to get Zebra was an interesting sequence.

  Tamer + Africa = Tamerlane (first)
  Tamerlane + Terror = Timur (first)
  Timur + Asia = Genghis Khan
  Genghis Khan + Bellerophon = Alexander the Great
  Alexander the Great + Unicorn = Bucephalus (first)
  Alexander the Great + Bucephalus = Horse
  Horse + Africa = Zebra

What happens if you combine Superman + Incredible Hulk?

I don't have the hulk, but Superman mostly refuses to combine with other superheroes (Deadpool, spider-man, wolverine, aquaman) or turns into the justice league (batman). Though Superman+ghost rider= super ghost rider.

I'll also accept:

Superman + Hulk

...as well =D (instead of `Incredible Hulk`).

Thanks for "the hope" on ghost rider combining with Superman.

Clojure itself actually loads pretty quickly, but almost every project has enough libraries to make loading the project take a few seconds.

> So how do I install the old version next to the new version in ubuntu 34.04?

You would install Nix and run something similar to "nix run nixpkgs-23.11#openssh <address>"

So, what's currently the oldest version of openssh that you can install this way?

  export LC_ALL=C
  nix-shell -I nixpkgs=https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/2322899a1fa85f6547004b2829af81e7b444f506.tar.gz -p openssh
  ssh -V
  OpenSSH_6.1p1, OpenSSL 1.0.0i 19 Apr 2012

Note that the first stable release of nixpkgs was in 2013.

This looks promising, but it doesn't work on personal accounts. I'm not ready to install it on my organization account just yet.

Can I expect complex caching actions like https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/magic-nix-cache to work as quickly as they do on GitHub?

DVC is slow because it stores and writes data twice, and the default of dozens of concurrent downloads causes resource starvation. They finally improved uploads in 3.0, but downloads and storage are still much worse than a simple "aws s3 cp". You can improve pull performance somewhat by passing a reasonable value for --jobs. Storage can be improved by nuking .dvc/cache. There's no way to skip writing all data twice though.

Look for something with good algorithms. Xethub worked very well for me, and oxen looks like a good alternative. git-xet has a very nice feature that allows you to mount a repo over the network [0]

Clarification on file duplication: DVC tries to use reflinks if the filesystem supports it, and falls back on copying the files. It can be configured to use hardlinks instead for filesystems like ext4 [0]. This improves performance significantly.
