The ‘cuda’ jobset is [no longer listed on the website](https://web.archive.org/web/diff/20251008171150/20251116210929/https://nix-community.org/package-sets/). Jobs previously in the ‘cuda’ jobset is now showing 404 on the Hydra [website](https://hydra.nix-community.org/job/nixpkgs/cuda/thunderbird.x86_64-linux).

Where can I find a binary cache for Thunderbird with CUDA enabled now?

Thunderbird compiling from source was one of the packages that caused me the most pain - alongside PyTorch with CUDA. Multi-hour builds that would sometimes OOM and crash my system.

Two solutions that helped me:

1. **Switch to `thunderbird-bin` and `firefox-bin`** - these just unpack the official Mozilla binaries, so no compilation needed. Much faster and just as functional.

2. **Use the new CUDA cache URL** - the official cache moved to `https://cache.nixos-cuda.org/`. Here’s my [cache configuration](https://github.com/basnijholt/dotfiles/blob/01701d5a435fec078eae0d25ee98b770ee5280a8/configs/nixos/common/nix.nix).

I also ended up building a local Harmonia cache server for my fleet, which I wrote about [here](https://www.nijho.lt/post/nixos-cache/), but the `-bin` variants solved the Thunderbird/Firefox problem immediately.
