ugh.

@jerry

Do we need to contribute some funds to the cause?

If so what amount would be helpful?

@simonzerafa @jerry I have the same question! How can we help?

@WXQ4987 @simonzerafa I'm not sure yet. I need to figure out the overall change in costs given the number of servers I have, and figure out what I can replace with something smaller, then figure out what the funding gap (if any) will be. I'll do that this evening after work.

Please let us know how we can help. I'm sure we all want IE to continue and be successful and less of a burden to you also

@jerry That is really terrible. I guess the "all important" data centers are busy consuming everything.

Well, perhaps they'll be able to use all that compute to sell ads to me in a more precise way. That seems important.

@tmaher

I was thinking more about additional funding, over and above the regular contributions we make.

@jerry Is there any public info about this ?

@eingfoan They have a detailed page with the pricing changes here: https://docs.hetzner.com/general/infrastructure-and-availability/price-adjustment/

@jerry You FOMOed me into finally getting that new server from Hetzner.

But a coincidence of empty credit card and Bitwarden wanting more money from OTP made me push it to tomorrow...

@renchap @jerry We're also only just getting past (At least here in the UK) huge power price increases for DC's, some of the quotes I got last year for colocation were eye watering for the power bills they wanted.

I looked over the weekend at the price to buy an additional server and compared to when I placed the original order at the end of August last year it's over doubled in price entirely because the RAM has increased by around 400% in my case...

@ligasser Reporting has been pretty clear that existing accounts will not be grandfathered along the previous prices.
