fauno, is there a way to accomodate arm?
Indeed the snipet is very simple and I think I understand it, but I don't actually _know_ nginx config and wouldn't know how to move from there.

yeah, i thought that too, but also thought that once you offer a public
service you can't really decide what people does with it.  and since
we're not going to abuse them, i didn't think it as a real problem in
the end.

we can ask them if they want to be parabola pseudo-mirrors, too.

This would certainly pose a bandwidth usage increase to those mirrors, but that doesn't make Parabola liable in any sense. Mirror owners should understand that they are serving freely distributable software, publicly on the Internet; and they must take the risk of their service being used in ways they never imagined, like serving packages for an Arch derivative and not Arch. Asking them is a good idea even if only to avoid mirrors that would otherwise feel uncomfortable, for the sake of politeness, not because we would actually need to apologise.

I don't even think we would be risking mis-servicing our users, would we? They could hardly try to identify requests coming from Parabola users and ban them.
