Not really suggesting we should buy one ourselves, but Backblaze makes
those storage pods of 67TB (raw capacity) which do run Debian (in 4U),
costing about 8kUSD in materials.

Maybe we should ask them to either sponsor one and one as a backup, sell
us one or similar? We'd not want to run their storage thing, which is
proprietary, but just having that much storage should be plenty for
quite a while, I'd think.
