@cindex nsncd, replacement for nscd
Note that @command{nscd} is no longer provided on some GNU/Linux
distros, such as Arch Linux (as of Dec. 2024). @command{nsncd} can be
used as a drop-in-replacement. See
@uref{https://github.com/twosigma/nsncd, the nsncd repository} and
@uref{https://flokli.de/posts/2022-11-18-nsncd/, this blog post} for
