    I'm not gonna lie. running this instance takes work. Infrastructure doesn't maintain itself, storage costs money, and keeping things running smoothly isn't always easy.

    This made my whole week. Thank you @lor, seriously. 🙌

      @fanfare @lor

      From fedidb you have 18 mau but on your kofi page your goal/costs are €80

      Am I missing something here? Honest question.

        @lil5 @lor thats just an estimated cost. Currently our kubernetes cluster costs everything from €30 a month to €70. Aiming for higher sums is due to the reason that money for rainy days is good.

        I currently eat the full cost myself. But the goal is to not do that forever.

        I appreciate you asking 🙌

          @lil5 @lor kubernetes for 18 users might be overkill. Yes. But I run that at home aswell and it feels the most scalable to maintain.

          I do have the future vision of this being a much larger instance and therefore I planned for scaling early so the users wasnt forced to encounter a migration down the line.

          I'd even say we got quite a decent uptime even though we are this small.

            Makes sense. It is good to have a cushion. I will be giving monthly going forward. 💸

                    @fanfare I tried to donate via Open Collective, and 2 credit cards would not process, I have emailed support there. Hopefully I can get it to work, I like to support things like this!
