I think that is "something" for a huge amount of business operating around the world.

For everyone here saying its trivial and they can do it cheap.

Get together and form a non-profit organization that offers super cheap infrastructure to the NixOS foundation. With a 99.99% SLA and around the clock staff ready if something goes wrong.

Which I think if you just co locate at a datacenter means going to the physical racks when shit breaks. (Or pay for "remote hands" and "remote spare parts". Or just pay for managed hosting.

I think that sounds like a lot of work for volunteers who have other jobs as wel.

A perfect case for something like Backblaze to sponsor it and get some more publicity.
