Any cloud provider or CDN that agreed to just sponsor such an important project would gain so much community love that I think they should just do it. Cloudflare should just do an agreement special with Nix and store everything for free. The cost would be not negligible but the reputation benefit and goodwill will be immense.
- kvz 3y agoLike LogicBlox received so much community love? I’m a Nix user and their paying $9k/mo for this never amounted to me learning their name. Could say a lot about me but could also say a lot about how appealing it will be to sponsor this. Could be changed tho, Nix leadership should brainstorm how to make this an attractive thing to sponsor. Feature name prominently on site, conferences, social media, even CLI(?).
- gigatexal 3y agoA sponsor like CF giving them free hosting and r2 storage etc would get a lot of love. Or it might not. Honestly I think Hetzner should just host them it could be a ton cheaper than cloud though it'd not be so geographically optimal I guess.
