On the Fireside Fedi interview with Jerry ( the admin of Infosec.Exchange Mastodon instance ) a scary truth was suddenly revealed ( on 34:11 ): Just to keep the instance up and running he needs to spend up to $5000 a month, pretty much out of his pocket. Donations to the instance barely cover any of that. And if he will ask people to pay to use it, they will, rightfully so, switch to a different instance.
@hisao @rglullis I’m using Hetzner for server hosting and a mix of wasabi and a Hetzner hosted minio server for storage. I’m trying to get out of wasabi, but they seem to be the best performance/availability mix with a not ridiculous price.
