AsatruHi people, i was wondering how big the actual size of a mirror is currently. In 6 months i have fiber internet so prob. i want to be a mirror...19:01
sarnoldAsatru: somewhere around 1.7 TB of storage for me https://termbin.com/2i0720:19
sarnoldAsatru: if it's just for home use you'd probably be better suited with squid-deb-proxy or apt-cacher-ng20:20
Asatruthe idea is for public usage20:50
sarnoldaha :)20:53
Asatruwhat possibility gives squid-deb-proxy me?22:12
sarnoldAsatru: instead of downloading everything, and all updates, on syncs, squid-deb-proxy would cache whatever your clients actually request. you could host a squid-deb-proxy instance with say 100 or 200 gigs of storage, and it'd be a large improvement for your machines; but each update, one of your machines would be the first to request the lists or a new package, and it'd be populating your cache at 23:36
sarnoldthe same time23:36
sarnoldAsatru: so it's a pretty drastic reduction in space and transfer and gives you a lot of the benefits of a local mirror23:37
