Why don't we host the system on IPFS?
( https//ipfs.io )
It would be nice to use URL's like: ipfs://jhgwybmjhgsd/my_file but is
would fit nicely in nixos

How I see the setup, it would be a HTTP reverse proxy with caching
enabled. That way only the accessed files are transferred over,
avoiding unnecessary traffic. One downside is that it requires a bit
of tuning and monitoring to make sure it's running efficiently. First
accesses to files are also doing the full round trip.
https://www.nginx.com/blog/nginx-caching-guide/ is a pretty good
example setup for nging, where upstream would be cache.nixos.org
<http://cache.nixos.org> . A few things need to be turned, for example
the cache TTL should be much bigger than the 10min that they set.
Ideally all content-addressable files would never invalidate unless
the disk is full, in that case they should LRU.
Let me know if you need more details or if this enough to get going.

Thanks for sharing Daniel, I see another thread around my same topic
("still waiting for https://cache.nixos.org after 5 seconds..."). So
I'm happy to see such open discussion.
It seems they have some projects in the pipe to improve the delivery.
But I will be happy to support in a short or long term (secondary
cache
layer,...)
I'm currently having a 100M, but I'm thinking of upgrading to 1G.
(Just
a new offer, more expansive of course but for a reasonable price
still.
IMO)
