-On the [NixOS Discourse instance](https://discourse.nixos.org/), Arnout Engelen (*raboof*) announced that NixOS have created an independent, bit-for-bit identical rebuilding of the `nixos-minimal` image that is used to install NixOS. [In their post](https://discourse.nixos.org/t/nixos-reproducible-builds-minimal-installation-iso-successfully-independently-rebuilt/34756), Arnout details what exactly can be reproduced, and even includes some of the history of this endeavour:

-> You may remember a [2021 announcement](https://discourse.nixos.org/t/nixos-unstable-s-iso-minimal-x86-64-linux-is-100-reproducible/13723) that the minimal ISO was 100% reproducible. While back then we successfully tested that all packages were needed to build the ISO were individually reproducible, actually rebuilding the ISO still introduced differences. This was due to [some remaining problems](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/125380) in the hydra cache and the way the ISO was created. By the time we fixed those, regressions had popped up (notably an upstream problem in Python 3.10), and it isn’t until this week that we were back to having everything reproducible and being able to validate the complete chain.

Congratulations to NixOS team for reaching this important milestone!
