Notes
After the significant deficit from last month, I put Ten Forward into fundraising mode to make up that deficit and increase our monthly income. That effort was generally a success, due to the generosity of both Ten Forward members and the wider fediverse, we are well in the green this month.
However, I do not think we are quite out of the woods yet. A significant chunk of this month’s income were one time donations that will not recur next month so I will continue to leave Ten Forward in fundraising mode until we are in the green for several months in a row.
The AWS expense this month is the last remainder of our move away from AWS. That line item will go away next month. Our Bunny.net CDN expenses have stabilized at about USD$25/month. Due to the way Bunny does billing – they need account credit added in certain values, the exact billed usage is slightly lower every month.
Linode cost has slightly increased as we added on the object storage service for our media storage needs, I rounded up the cost from ~USD$246 to ~USD$250. I expect this to also be the new baseline cost for Linode going forward.
If you would like to make a contribution to our fundraiser you can do so via the following methods:
Thank you everyone for their support. That is all from me, see y’all next time.
