A while ago I started getting error messages when running dnf up, saying that the metadata for the repos balena-etcher uses. Looking at their github page, I see that there is an open issue about this, where they say they can no longer afford to host the package at cloudsmith, but there is no info about how to work around the issue.

I downloaded the minimal nixos-t2-release and used USBImager to write the resulting ISO to my usb drive. Balena Etcher is a good choice as well.
