personal nixpkgs mirror experiments, run via Fastly.

currently only -small channels, infrequently updated from upstream.

in /etc/nix/nix.conf:

    substituters = https://cache.nixos.org https://nix-mirror.freetls.fastly.net

or, in /etc/nixos/configuration.nix:

    nix.binaryCaches = [ "https://cache.nixos.org" "https://nix-mirror.freetls.fastly.net" ]

no extra signing key needed: the cache uses pre-signed cache.nixos.org binaries.

note: use trusted-substituters if you want to opt-into this mirror on a per-build basis.
