So far I had two package installations today, one was ghc-pandoc, which worked okay with the caching mirror but I wasn't able to complete it using the caching mirror (2 last packages had issues I can't recall, after some repeated attempts I used hydra.gnu.org again), the other one worked good enough. So, thanks for the person or organization providing the mirror! As it also points to hydra.gnunet.org I guess it's something GNUnet e.V. related in running the mirror? -- ng irc://loupsycedyglgamf.onion:67/~NiAsterisk https://psyced.org:34443/NiAsterisk/ EDN: https://wiki.c3d2.de/Echt_Dezentrales_Netz/en
