Hello, Guix!

For several reasons I will not be able to host/maintain Toys search engine
(https://toys.whereis.social) anymore. One of the reasons is not being
able to pay for VPS from where I live without jumping through many
frustrating hoops.

The project is not collecting any metrics on its usage but I assume
there are still people who occasionally visit it so I'd like to ask:

Is anyone able to take over the task of maintaining the public Toys
instance?

Running it does not require much from a server: 2 GBs of RAM and 2 CPU
cores would be enough. Although, I haven't been able to perform `guix pull`
with this configuration lately (OOM issues) but it may very well be a
problem with my setup.

An important note: I really want Toys to keep including packages which
are (ahem) not condoned by FSF because I believe they are important part
of Guix ecosystem. So I guess Toys will still have to be hosted by "3rd
party", not the Guix project itself.
