Owner

As a developer,
I want for Fediversity builds to be built using a dedicated Nix builder node,
so that uncached builds may be sped up, including for development, Continuous Integration, infra, and application deployment.

implementation notes

set up Nix builder node
use builder in development
use builder in Continuous Integration
use builder in infra
use builder in application deployment
consider DetNix (#659)
queue optoins for panel:
- django-tasks
- celery
- c.f. gradient servers function as a build queue

c.f.:

potential follow-up:

if not reproduced: reproduce (#288)
parallel eval

note that for in as far as the challenge to be solved is dealing with build requests that come in before previous builds finish, an alternative may be to build on the target.
