Last good Nixpkgs for Weston+nouveau? archive
I came this commit hash to terwiz[m] on IRC, who is trying to figure out
what the last version of Spectrum that worked on their NUC with Nvidia
graphics is.

+# Fake Certificate Authority for ACME testing
+
+This will set up a test node running [pebble](https://github.com/letsencrypt/pebble)
+to serve ACME certificate requests.
+
+## "Snake oil" certs
+
+The snake oil certs are hard coded into the repo for reasons explained [here](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/91121#discussion_r505410235).
+The root of the issue is that Nix will hash the derivation based on the arguments
+to mkDerivation, not the output. [Minica](https://github.com/jsha/minica) will
+always generate a random certificate even if the arguments are unchanged. As a
+result, it's possible to end up in a situation where the cached and local
+generated certs mismatch and cause issues with testing.
+
+To generate new certificates, run the following commands:
+
+```bash
+nix-build generate-certs.nix
+cp result/* .
+rm result
+```
