Its been 6 months or so… figure its time for another of these. Keep in mind there have been some major config changes in the last week, which has resulted in the oddities below.
Graphs below cover 2 months, except Cloudflare which only goes to 30 days on free accounts.

Comments: The server is still happily chugging along. Looking even happier now that I’ve properly migrated pict-rs to its integrated object storage config, rather than the bodged up setup.
RAM/CPU are all fine. Storage use is growing slowly as various databases grow. Still a long way from needing to purge old posts, if ever.
Cloudflare is saving less traffic these days, since Lemmy added support to proxy all images. Not a concern, well under the bandwidth cap for the server.
As usual feel free to ask any questions.

Thank you. Any plans on a finances update?

Honestly… no. I’m not an accountant, so truing up transactions from my Paypal account is a pain.
Recurring donations have dropped, totally understandable in the current economic climate. Some very generous early one off donations mean I’m not paying out of pocket. But that buffer is shrinking month by month.
Previously recurring monthly donations covered ~50% of the monthly costs, this is down to ~30%. Not an issue, some early one off donations mean the kitty is still enough to cover the server costs until Feb/March.
I’m ok to cover the gap between recurring donations and monthly costs. If a time comes when that isn’t the case, I’ll be sure to let everyone know. For now, don’t stress 🙂

Ok, that’s all I needed to know basically.

I forget where the donations go… Can you refresh my memory?
