Update: if you're seeing this text, then we've completed the migration :) ๐
TL;DR: We are downgrading the server.
Currently, the instance has a monthly cost of approximately $200, and we can barely cover this expense with donations. But more importantly, we think that the current server specs are too much for the needs.
We are the 3rd instance with the most users and one of the most stable instances with 99.55% uptime, but still more than half of the server components are not used.
Therefore, we will slowly downgrade the server to use donations more optimally. By the way, thank you to everyone who supporting us ๐
- Old specs: 16 core, 48 ram for 160$
- New specs: 12 core, 32 ram for 125$
The migration will start in 12PM UTC, you can check from your own timezone from here: https://notime.zone/NdyvH8JtJkJmZ
Instance will be available with a few downtimes, but posts/comments after 12PM will be deleted. Please follow this post...
Right? Maybe we can downgrade even more. Things looking stable.
Whatever you have to do to keep this going! But, it's probably good to wait a little while for feedback before dropping it too fast.
The trap with dropping too quickly is you have no overheard to absorb bursts of demand
