Like I wrote earlier today and before that, I think we should now focus
on berlin.guixsd.org and Cuirass (rather than hydra.gnu.org and Hydra.)

You can get substitutes for ‘guix pull’ from berlin, and indeed, I
highly encourage doing so because ‘guix pull’ without substitutes can
take way too much time (when all the substitutes are available, it’s
1.5–2mn on my laptop.)

Substitutes *are* such an archive.

HTH!
