Some people have been kind enough to send me money to support this forum. I think it’s about time I had a thread to tell people what’s going on. I will leave this locked so that it just shows the state of play - if you want to talk about it, you can do it elsewhere or contact me directly.
I’m going to be arbitrary and assign ⅔ of the hosting cost of the server to the forum (because it’s probably roughly that proportion of what the server’s doing - it’s also a backup mailserver and VPN endpoint for me). Edit: this forum now has its own server that only does things for this forum. Because I pay in Euros, the cost will vary a bit, sometimes retroactively.
This is not a request for money - it’s just so that those of you who’ve contributed can see roughly what’s going on. If you do decide you want to contribute, https://paypal.me/RogerBW will reach me - please make a note in the memo that it’s for discussion.tekeli.li as I take payment for several things through that account.
