The NixOS Foundation's Call to Action: S3 Costs Require Community Support

I’m aware of some mirrors of hydra, which is very helpful. It should be easier to set up a mirror, and it should actively be promoted. There are more concerns than just storage, such as DNS Blocks, which effect reproducibility (another benefit of using something like bittorrent/ipfs as a substitution mechanism)
