Congrats!  I’m confident many in the Americas will find it useful.

If I’m not mistaken, the machine is configured¹ to take substitutes from
ci.guix and bordeaux.guix.  It would be interesting (but obviously more
expensive CPU-wise…) to not do that as a way to get diverse builds that
can be checked with ‘guix challenge’.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
