@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusSo I would rather avoid pushing on them anything02:01:00
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusAlso why I build my own solution on my side02:01:10
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusOverall, what I believe is that if someone comes in and drops 50K on the Foundation for the objective of duplicating the binary cache to save it, it's a solved problem02:01:46
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusUnder that amount, you are kinda stuck having to ask the Foundation to consider taking the risk02:01:57
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusAnd it's not clear that it's a right choice or not02:02:04
@nh2:matrix.orgnh2For your colo, does it offer separate datacenters that isolated failure domains against fire?02:02:15
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusvs. garbage collecting and giving up on that data and preparing for the next set of data02:02:17

Nope
02:02:27
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusIf that was a goal, I would just send things in Glacier that I really care about, e.g. FODs02:02:56
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius In cache.nixos.org, there's cache :) 02:03:02
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius Actually, cache.nixos.org was unavailable a lot of times 02:03:20
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusBut no one notice it in general02:03:23
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusBecause a CDN is in front of it so…02:03:36
@nh2:matrix.orgnh2I mean in Hetzner it's a standard setup to setup servers different data centers to ensure proper HA02:04:32
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusYes, yes, if we have the means and money02:04:49
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusLet's go for multi-site HA02:04:53
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusBut again, from my PoV (maybe wrong?), short of sponsoring from hardware manufacturers or companies, it's hard to support those costs upfront02:06:06
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusLet's say, if HW manufacturers said: here's disks, here's servers (cheap in the context anyhow), and we could just pay colo, that'd be interesting02:06:30
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusetc.02:06:33
@nh2:matrix.orgnh2This is not what I mean. I mean that if you buy the hardware for a colo, it costs a fixed price. You could put it into your colo in France, or in Hetzner, where you would get proper HA.02:06:33

This, I don't disagree
02:06:56
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusBut what's your point regarding that?02:07:07
@nh2:matrix.orgnh2My point is: Hetzner is currently the cheapest $/TB hardware rental on the planet. The only cheaper way (long term) is owning the hardware and putting it into colo. So I'm just pointing out, if you're considering colo, colo at Hetzner might be the way to go for the absolute cheapest and still reliable.02:08:52
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusI'm not extremely familiar with Hetzner colocation02:10:31
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusbut reading from that https://www.hetzner.com/colocation/02:10:35
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius assuming 1kW (constant) over one year, assuming 2 locations in Finland, at the announced electricity rates, this is something like 2×(119 + 0.2618€/kWh1kW1year) = 4827,87 € 02:12:28

@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusover one year02:12:45
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusfor 17U of 2×10A if I understand well02:12:55
