-Previously `<nix/fetchurl.nix>` did not do TLS verification. This was because the Nix sandbox in the past did not have access to TLS certificates, and Nix checks the hash of the fetched file anyway. However, this can expose authentication data from `netrc` and URLs to man-in-the-middle attackers. In addition, Nix now in some cases (such as when using impure derivations) does *not* check the hash. Therefore we have now enabled TLS verification. This means that downloads by `<nix/fetchurl.nix>` will now fail if you're fetching from a HTTPS server that does not have a valid certificate.

-`<nix/fetchurl.nix>` is also known as the builtin derivation builder `builtin:fetchurl`. It's not to be confused with the evaluation-time function `builtins.fetchurl`, which was not affected by this issue.

-# Remote Builds
-
-A local Nix installation can forward Nix builds to other machines,
-this allows multiple builds to be performed in parallel.
-
-Remote builds also allow Nix to perform multi-platform builds in a
-semi-transparent way. For example, if you perform a build for a
-`x86_64-darwin` on an `i686-linux` machine, Nix can automatically
-forward the build to a `x86_64-darwin` machine, if one is available.
-
-## Requirements
-
-For a local machine to forward a build to a remote machine, the remote machine must:
-
-- Have Nix installed
-- Be running an SSH server, e.g. `sshd`
-- Be accessible via SSH from the local machine over the network
-- Have the local machine's public SSH key in `/etc/ssh/authorized_keys.d/<username>`
-- Have the username of the SSH user in the `trusted-users` setting in `nix.conf`
-
-## Testing
-
-To test connecting to a remote Nix instance (in this case `mac`), run:
-
-```console
-nix store info --store ssh://username@mac
-```
-
-To specify an SSH identity file as part of the remote store URI add a
-query paramater, e.g.
-
-```console
-nix store info --store ssh://username@mac?ssh-key=/home/alice/my-key
-```
-
-Since builds should be non-interactive, the key should not have a
-passphrase. Alternatively, you can load identities ahead of time into
-`ssh-agent` or `gpg-agent`.
-
-In a multi-user installation (default), builds are executed by the Nix
-Daemon. The Nix Daemon cannot prompt for a passphrase via the terminal
-or `ssh-agent`, so the SSH key must not have a passphrase.
-
-In addition, the Nix Daemon's user (typically root) needs to have SSH
-access to the remote builder.
-
-Access can be verified by running `sudo su`, and then validating SSH
-access, e.g. by running `ssh mac`. SSH identity files for root users
-are usually stored in `/root/.ssh/` (Linux) or `/var/root/.ssh` (MacOS).
-
-If you get the error
-
-```console
-bash: nix: command not found
-error: cannot connect to 'mac'
-```
-
-then you need to ensure that the `PATH` of non-interactive login shells
-contains Nix.
-
-The [list of remote build machines](@docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-builders) can be specified on the command line or in the Nix configuration file.
-For example, the following command allows you to build a derivation for `x86_64-darwin` on a Linux machine:
-
-```console
-uname
-```
-
-```console
-Linux
-```
-
-```console
-nix build --impure \
- --expr '(with import <nixpkgs> { system = "x86_64-darwin"; }; runCommand "foo" {} "uname > $out")' \
- --builders 'ssh://mac x86_64-darwin'
-```
-
-```console
-[1/0/1 built, 0.0 MiB DL] building foo on ssh://mac
-```
-
-```console
-cat ./result
-```
-
-```console
-Darwin
-```
-
-It is possible to specify multiple build machines separated by a semicolon or a newline, e.g.
-
-```console
-  --builders 'ssh://mac x86_64-darwin ; ssh://beastie x86_64-freebsd'
-```
-
-Remote build machines can also be configured in [`nix.conf`](@docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.md), e.g.
-
-    builders = ssh://mac x86_64-darwin ; ssh://beastie x86_64-freebsd
-
-After making changes to `nix.conf`, restart the Nix daemon for changes to take effect.
-
-Finally, remote build machines can be configured in a separate configuration
-file included in `builders` via the syntax `@/path/to/file`. For example,
-
-    builders = @/etc/nix/machines
-
-causes the list of machines in `/etc/nix/machines` to be included.

-# Debugging Nix
-
-This section shows how to build and debug Nix with debug symbols enabled.
-
-## Building Nix with Debug Symbols
-
-In the development shell, set the `mesonBuildType` environment variable to `debug` before configuring the build:
-
-```console
-[nix-shell]$ export mesonBuildType=debugoptimized
-```
-
-Then, proceed to build Nix as described in [Building Nix](./building.md).
-This will build Nix with debug symbols, which are essential for effective debugging.
-
-## Debugging the Nix Binary
-
-Obtain your preferred debugger within the development shell:
-
-```console
-[nix-shell]$ nix-shell -p gdb
-```
-
-On macOS, use `lldb`:
-
-```console
-[nix-shell]$ nix-shell -p lldb
-```
-
-### Launching the Debugger
-
-To debug the Nix binary, run:
-
-```console
-[nix-shell]$ gdb --args ../outputs/out/bin/nix
-```
-
-On macOS, use `lldb`:
-
-```console
-[nix-shell]$ lldb -- ../outputs/out/bin/nix
-```
-
-### Using the Debugger
-
-Inside the debugger, you can set breakpoints, run the program, and inspect variables.
-
-```gdb
-(gdb) break main
-(gdb) run <arguments>
-```
-
-Refer to the [GDB Documentation](https://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/documentation/) for comprehensive usage instructions.
-
-On macOS, use `lldb`:
-
-```lldb
-(lldb) breakpoint set --name main
-(lldb) process launch -- <arguments>
-```
-
-Refer to the [LLDB Tutorial](https://lldb.llvm.org/use/tutorial.html) for comprehensive usage instructions.
