<p>Usually u can run almost any binary by setting up once a fhs. Or using steam-run<p>And there's also nix alien and similar tools as alternative<p>But indeed usually you end up using patchelf , tell the inputs of a binary n just make a regular nix  package from it</p>

<p>If containers are safe enough for ur use case then just use nixos containers they just a few more lines to setup in a regular nixos config<p>If it isn't enough 
there's microvm.nix which is pretty much the same in difficulty /complexity, but runs inside a very slim and lightweight  VM with stronger isolation than a container</p>

<p>I run about 1 action a day taking 18h running on 2 runners 
One being self hosted 24gb ram 8 core ARM vps and one being a 64gb 13900k x86 dedicated server<p>Now the GitHub pricing change definitely? costs more than both servers combined a month ... (They cost about 60$ together )<p>3 step GitHub action builds around 1200 nix packages and derivations  , but produces only around 50 lines of logs total  if successful and maybe 200 lines of log once when a failure occurs
And I'm supposed to pay 4$ a day for that ?
Wonder what kind of actual costs are involved on their side of waiting for a runner to complete and storing 50 lines of log</p>

<p>There some hetzner resellers which accept crypto coins instead<p>OVH(and subsidiaries like server 
4 you,kimsufi) is the  pricing a bit higher but comparable (in some regions)
But last time I used ovh Hetzner also didn't require Id verification, maybe they changed since then<p>Ionos also similarly priced didn't need Id  last time I used them</p>

<p>Nix can do it incremental
U could split it into multiple derivations which get built into one package 
For rust there ist the excellent <a href="https://crane.dev/index.html" rel="nofollow">https://crane.dev/index.html</a> project<p>Or you can also go to the extreme and do 1:1
 source to derivation mapping 
So for example if ur project has 100 source files it could be built from 100 derivations, the language/CLI tools  are  flexible enough for that<p><a href="https://discourse.nixos.org/t/distributed-nix-build-split-large-package-into-many-derivations/15979" rel="nofollow">https://discourse.nixos.org/t/distributed-nix-build-split-la...</a>

<p>1000 annual listens?
That's likely less than 1$/mo revenue the artists get no?
Even small time musicians I know have about 1000 listens a month<p>Seems to me just like yt monetization partner program which required like 50€ revenue for payout and 1000 subs+approval  for even enabling monetization (some time ago unsure if it's still limited for new accounts )<p>Unless I'm missing something it mainly just trims out mass produced content</p>

<p>Wouldn't a client certificate from e2echat protect that kind of attack ? Since even when a man in the middle offers u a server cert u accept, the e2echat servers can't validate the  client certificate from you anymore<p>(Still bad but would at least protect connections from ever talking to e2echats servers)</p>

<p>Correct :(, but smallest plants can only have 5-10g harvestable, having a big plant through lots of energy input  which can have 100+g definitely is out of the scope of a Solo person consuming legally weed<p>Having 3 plants would make the weed buds stale/old until u get to consume it (for the average consumer that is) the laws are dumb, but good first step</p>
