<stikonas>hmm, depends on how reliable you need it to be... <stikonas>also, do you know how much traffic is expected? <stikonas>it's probably fine in terms of traffic... <stikonas>ai scrapers are probably causing most of the traffic these days anyway <Googulator>but the entire bootstrapping.world domain seems to be down <daddy>yeah we're actually moving off of that one because of that. <daddy>stikonas: in that case, i will not. <stikonas>probably best to make your own mirror then <daddy>we have a very bad habit of, despite our aggressive attempts to cache everything, bringing down services. <stikonas>but e.g. yesterday something happened to my connection while I was not at the computer, so there was 30 min downtime until I rebooted the router <stikonas>I do have a gigabit connection to home, so unless a lot of people are downloading at the same time, bandwidth should be fine <daddy>we have a policy on not setting up our own mirrors. we might end up revisiting that policy. <stikonas>fossy and I set up two (not fully reliable mirrors) so that we have at least something for now <stikonas>but distributed mirrors would probably work better <daddy>we want to keep it low deps so we might have optimistic ipfs but i think it'll always have an http fallback <daddy>i'm trying to see if we can modify the User-Agent, so we can be notified if bad traffic happens <daddy>oh yeah, i have fossy's mirror in the PR as well <daddy>so i should poke him as well <stikonas>well, if you have multiple mirrors and have redundancy in donwloads (e.g. one mirror is down, it automatically uses the other) <stikonas>then at least some of the problems are solved
