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

Finally, while I am not super fond of this solution, have we considered university mirrors like many other distributions do it and have we considered working with them towards that?

At dotsrc.org we would love to help but have only ~17 TB of free space since our mirrors mostly run on decommissioned hardware and a relatively low budget.
I do not know what kind of storage other mirrors have, I guess it varies a lot (see TUNA Nix mirror), but I would be surprised if this route is feasible (especially on a 1 month deadline).
