Here we are, another month down.. still kicking 😀

As usual I’m stating full dollar figures for simplicity, but they’re all rounded/approximate to the dollar. I’m not an accountant and its close enough for our purposes.

Income

$98 AUD thanks to 13 generous donors

Expenses

$45 OVH server fees
$10 ($~6 USD)Wasabi object storage
$39 ($25 USD) Domain registration extended to 6th August 2025
= $94

Balance

+$486 carried forward from July
+$98 income for August
-$94 expenses paid in August
= $490 current balance

Future

Baseline storage on the server is now at ~70% at the low point of the day, time permitting I'll upgrade shortly to ensure sufficient room for growth. Doubling the current storage will cost an additional ~$12 per month.

THANK YOU

to everyone that has contributed to the running costs of the site.

A very special thank you to @[email protected] for everything he's doing here, both in public and behind the scenes. Without his help performing admin and moderator activities, this place would be a shambles. I've simply been too busy professionally and personally to pay as much attention as I need to. Thanks Nath, I (and I'm sure everyone else here) appreciate it 🤗

As always, if you have any questions please ask.

Aww shucks. I can't claim much credit. The people here are lovely. All the mod actions are against federated users (spam bots mostly).

This is my Ko-fi page where people can donate. It's linked from the sidebar on the front page also.
