Hi!

Assembled from several posts:

hydra.gnu.org is currently down and mirror.hydra.gnu.org is just 
proxying it.

See https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2018-10/msg00434.html


Substitute-Server-Authorization:
As described at
https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/guix.html#Substitute-Server-Authorization

After `guix archive --authorize < berlin.guixsd.org.pub`
you may run commands with:
`--substitute-urls="https://berlin.guixsd.org`


You may want to add this setting globally and permanently, so you don't 
have to specify it every time you run guix. You can do this by passing 
the option to the guix daemon

- when using GuixSD, modify guix-service in your system configuration, 
by specifying the substitute-urls in the configuration. (see 
guix-configuration in 
https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/html_node/Base-Services.html )


Not applicable in your case:

- when using guix on another distribution with systemd, you can modify 
the the ExecStart line in /etc/systemd/system/guix-daemon.service as 
follows:

ExecStart=/var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/guix-profile/bin/guix-daemon 
--build-users-group=guixbuild 
"--substitute-urls=https://mirror.hydra.gnu.org https://berlin.guixsd.org";;
