I've been reading through the instructions on how to run a mirror of this project. In issue #171 you mentioned spending $700/month for hosting and hardware for this. That seemed ~10x higher than I would have guessed from my reading of the instructions. Could you give a rough breakdown of the costs you're incurring and whether or not you think a mirror would have similar costs?

Also, wow, thank you for building and running a service you provide to the world for free at that kind of cost level. I'm sure your career has made you a great deal of money over the years, but still, this is an impressive gift to the world by any measure.

When I wrote that, it was $500/month for a cabinet with gig connectivity, plus a portion of the hardware cost with a lifecycle of 4 years.

I've since cut that in half by moving to VMs; but the sheer number of them to have proximity to most users still has me north of $300/month.
