Sorry to necro boost this, but I thought everyone should know aobut this.
Also, thank you!
Rick Valenzuela@jerry it took me way too long to do this, but today stands out as a day to do it. Thanks, Jerry!
@rv many thanks, Rick!
corbeaucrypto@jerry Done! Thanks for hosting this instance and all the care and feeding you do.
Guillaume Ross@jerry How much hardware do you need to keep things snappy right now? Interacting with users on your instance is nice, vs the "official instance" where things are so sluggish!
@g I describe the system here: https://infosec.exchange/@jerry/109245476099234071

@cirriustech for once, I got out ahead of that problem - the server is sitting almost idle. Last time there was a mass exodus from twitter, I was running the site in a VM and things didn't go so well. I moved to a pretty substantial bare metal system (16 core AMD zen3, 128GB ram, 8TB of NVME storage). I suspect the next move for me is to offload images to a CDN so that most of the larger content is served closer to where people are...
@g but keep in mind that Infosec.exchange has about 200x fewer people using it than mastodon.social.
@jerry Yeah I know, but still seems like you threw some solid hardware at it!
@g I did, and that was the result of a painful lesson early this year when I had a big influx of people and the server fell apart. I had an intuition that it would happen again, so I overcorrected, but I can now see that I’ll have to start scaling out the environment (splitting DB onto separate system, etc)
Dave Weinstein@jerry Is there a plain PayPal address or other payment mechanism as well?
@dhw [email protected] works for PayPal. Thank you very much!

@jerry I don't know if you can preset tiers in liberapay... that would be great to see one $8.01/month named "Fuel On" (less obvious than FU Elon).... 😎
That would be in the $1.84 ish / week ballpark.

Running something like this is important and often a thankless job, people take it for granted.

Interesting observation. The link does not work if using a secure vpn that anonymizes location, dns etc. It just loop the "verify that you are human" page over and over again. 😂

Patrick C Miller @jerry Just donated. Keep up the awesome. I encourage others to help our admin(s) keep the instance alive and well. These people have day jobs and lives too.
@patrickcmiller thank you very much for your generosity and kind words!
@jerry least I can do. You rock, sir.

IT-Awareness, Fabian Lucchi @jerry Hi Jerry, just applied for yearly support through Liberapay, thank you for your work in being our host 💜
Daniel Ess@jerry done. Never paid Twitter a cent, happy to pay to support this platform.
Ian@jerry A donation from me and keep up the great work!
@ianjustinoliver thank you very much!
oleorunPassing this along - if you're new here, like me, you can support Jerry and help keep his servers running. If you do an annual payment it's a great "cake day" and a reminder of the day you joined.
Evelyn 
Yo, help @jerry get some serverssssss
Tinzien@jerry Donation made to the cause! :)
Martin Boller 
@jerry Couldn't afford much, but if all of us pay just a little.
@itisiboller you are under no obligation to donate.I appreciate that you did, but this will be here for you regardless
@jerry I know, just wanted to show my love for you and the awesome Tooters 💨 on here ❤️
Lynn Grant@jerry Done!
It's funny how sending $8/month to 
seemed really painful, but sending $10/month to you and to Mastodon makes me feel happy.
thedaveCA@jerry okay fine, maybe I just will!
Hypersensory Space Butt@jerry how do i get that donor thingie?
Jeff Hall - PCIGuru @jerry Done! Thanks for all your work.
Russell Cameron Thomas@jerry I misread "liberapay" as "therapy".
Why not both!
Miri@jerry Just dropped you a donation! I’ll put a reminder on my calendar since I can’t do recurring payments with PayPal :/
@miri 🙏 thank you!
somuch4subtlety@jerry Happy Holidays, Jerry, and thanks to you and your crew for keeping InfoSec.exchange going. I just sent some 
you way.
you way.
