bdonvr,

My instance of ~300 users (and uh, far less active ones) is costing me $223/year

I’ve had users donate about $25 so ~10% community funded and 90% admin funded.

That’s fine by me at the current cost. Though if we somehow got a bunch of new users I’d have to cut off signups at some point unless more donations rolled in. I could probably handle a sizeable increase in users first though.

bdonvr, (edited )

Honestly the images aren’t TOO bad, or not as bad as you’d think. I have 160GB right now and pay less than $2/mo for it.

Of course with more active users that’ll scale quickly at which point I’d probably tighten up on the upload limits.

I’m also using Cloudflare R2, I could move to something like Backblaze (which I already use for backups) and could possibly lower that.

bdonvr,

$15/mo server rental, plus a few dollars to store backups on a separate service, object storage for media, email, and domain registration. Total $18.64

I have a home server that could easily handle it, but I wouldn’t want to put something so public on it.
