I'm considering dropping commercially backed distros from mirrors.kernel.org as part of the migration away from Equinix Metal: Fedora, Ubuntu, Opensuse. It would drop us from 35TB to 23TB and make a significant impact on our bandwidth requirements.

@usul We don't have final details of where we're going yet, but it's certainly odd to still be donating thousands of dollars monthly to distros that are backed by companies that bring in billions in revenues.

usul@piaille.fr@monsieuricon wasn't disagreeing with that. Was just asking if bare metal would be gone ....

@usul no, not necessarily. Equinix wasn't the only one doing bare metal, and there are other interesting offers (no, not Hetzner).

mcdanlj@social.makerforums.info@monsieuricon More pressure on the micromirrors... That project has certainly become load-bearing infrastructure quickly!
I wonder whether you could encourage interested parties to sign up as micromirror hosts as part of your conversations as you look for the new location to which to migrate?
