Weird.  It's strange that http://nixos.org/binary-cache is listed twice here.

BTW, you shouldn't add hydra.nixos.org to binary-caches in nix.conf.  Our server
can't handle that.  And it slows Nix down a lot because it has to check a slow
server on every build operation.

The former is statically served, so waaaaay faster.
