Object storage cost: $6.22 (was $6.20 last month) and this will unfortunately probably go up next month by like a dollar...

So we have two lemmy specific servers, we transferred over to hetzner and to a new dedicated server no less! I have two other smaller VPS's I pay for out of pocket (for my blog, my gotosocial alt, some storage and tinkering, and the uptime status page)

Server cost: $16.76 in total, the main dedicated server is $12.69, and the smaller for the alt web front ends are $4.07. Those are loosely converted from Euros hence the weird

I have two other personal servers (one mega tiny, another slightly larger), which I pay out of pocket leading to the overall cost being $26.70 for all the servers on hetzner combined.

Last month we had $20 in donations, this month we had $37.73 (!!!!!) so thanks so much for that as well! It is seriously appreciated! The next two months are basically paid for in advance.

Right now an extra cost that hasn't been added on here but likely will be next month is the backups, I am still taking manual daily backups (yes, daily LOL you read that right), encrypting them and placing them into my proton drive. I am switching over to automating things and moving backups to backblaze sooner rather than later with Arthur figuring out the best way to set that up.

Thank you for your patience and sticking around yall. I seriously appreciate it. It feels so good to be back :)

The server has been significantly more snappy ever since we moved. We also have remote monitoring, an uptime status page, and downtime alerts.
