[23:15] <mwhudson> anyone have any opinions on which the best local archive mirror to use is?
[23:18] <ibeardslee> best official or best unofficial?
[23:18]  * olly is using http://nz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
[23:19] <mwhudson> ibeardslee: either? i know catalyst have/had an unofficial one
[23:19] <olly> but I'm down to one ubuntu box now with a fairly small number of packages, so I don't know if I'd really notice problems
[23:20]  * mwhudson is finally setting up squid-deb-proxy
[23:20] <mwhudson> i do a lot of stuff in containers these days
[23:30] <ibeardslee> we have an unofficial one
[23:30] <ibeardslee> and with a tweak to /usr/share/python-apt/templates/Ubuntu.mirrors ubuntu can sort of treat it like an official one
[23:33] <mwhudson> i'm going a different route, setting up squid-deb-proxy to re-route requests
[23:34] <mwhudson> so official-ness doesn't really matter :-)
[23:34] <mwhudson> and omg why did i not do this before
[23:34] <olly> they had something like that set up at debconf
[23:35] <mwhudson> actually it's because i used apt-cacher-ng and that has a knack for making transient issues permanent
[23:35] <olly> hmm, i'm using that without issues so far
[23:35] <olly> though I don't use it very heavily, and rarely in parallel
