Of course you or anyone else can take over the various services. It costs the following:
Contabo hosting (single vps) : USD 30 per month
iDrive object storage : USD 60 per year
Domain I own and use so will continue to pay.
Email is done via a freemium service (mailjet) - 200 emails per day.
Maintenance requires docker updates, snapshotting server prior to work, checking backup scripts run (also go to idrive with a retention bucket) and managing cloudflare account to prevent excessive bots and so on.
You would basically be on the hook to budget around $50 a month to ensure nothing ever happens and your time. It basically runs itself except for upgrades and requires no maintenance or intervention between versions as everything is tweaked to be within set limits (cpu, memory and so on), and configured to work without ever logging on. For example I only ever log on to update the server and then reboot it and occasionally do apt-get upgrades when I feel like it. Cloudflare does all the protection automatically and you cant directly access the lemmy web interface via ip - the firewall rules are locked to cloudflares IP range only and proxied by them.
That all said, Im not actually going anywhere, I just dont see any value in ~$50 going towards this project vs some other open source project as its never performed as developers of Lemmy projected or promised. I have given them three years to sort themselves out. I feel that was enough and now someone more worthy can take on the expectations I have for projects such as these.
Let me know if this interests you or not, but someone has to be prepared to foot a bill for a server end of the day if they believe in it and want it.
Yeah no worries. We have a matrix chat where these sort of problems are discussed. We note its less of a problem on servers where signup is required to be approved as new accounts cant be created via automation. Some lemmy instances are less restrictive.
I took a look and its quite complicated to install requiring a very complex kubernates clustwr. Unclear why it is so disparate when something like nextcloud can be single containerised. I feel like this could be simplified for deployment.

No I mean I cant really justify spending more each month. Already costs like $40 a month to run.
Unsubscribe wait a few minutes and resub to the community after. Its a lemmy thing that sometimes happens.
Main issue at the moment is server performance and its not viable or cost effective to add more resources.
This could be a cool song title: ‘And the post said plutonium pucks, could taste like orange crush’.

I will post some images of stats sometime soon as it seems alright now - thanks.
I will never understand the economics of MAGA and how they interpret data. Its always totally illogical.
I sent an order for a new server spec changes as follows:
6 CPU cores -----> 12 cores 16GB RAM -----> 48GB RAM 400GB disk -----> 500 GB disk CPU speed ~ 2200Mhz - ? will update later when I know
Someone should make a change petition to rename it gulf of the Epstein files and see if it gets enough signatures
Thanks for making me aware.
I always wondered why there are weapons and health packs lying around in unexplored caves.
Sorry I was busy doing it as you were posting. Seems to have worked.
We are back on 0.19.11

Its a known issue which lemmy is working on.

Pleasure. Give voyager a try. The programmer is really good (better than the lemmy devs) so its pretty optimised.
