Hi, I occasionally need a lightweight static Nix so when I google for it I land on this repo.

Then I remember that there was some kind of official static build, so I look some more and find NixOS/nixpkgs#56281 .

I think in the past I've used both this build (thanks BTW!) and the one in Hydra, and I wonder if there are any differences between them?

Ah for one I think this one is truly portable whereas the Hydra build still puts the nix store in /nix

...which now seems to have improved in nix itself, according to the last release summary:
