@tek Thanks for the tip! I'm definitely concerned about cost. Had evaluated Linode's object storage before S3, but they don't support a CDN with CNAME, and I don't like the information leakage with their URLs.

Were you using CloudFront at all with S3? I'm hoping that will help with costs.

If our bill jumps way up, I'll have to give DO a shot.

@McCullohMD hi Chris, thank you. Please if we can have the link to the Patreon. I tried a couple of times - it did not go through. I would like to contribute towards the cost. So grateful for this space & the time you are putting in. 🙏🏽

@ahimsa_pdx @RpkSnyder @McCullohMD I think I got myself signed up on this but the site was loading super slow and weird. Either way, at least one teeny payment definitely came out in PayPal and I'm hoping that means it'll come out monthly haha. 😂 We shall see next month!

Thanks for adding the link.

Maybe the link itself ought to go out as an announcement?

@KittenInACave FYI, I got the link from the about page on our server (scroll down to donations section)

@ahimsa_pdx ah cool thanks! I'd tried to find that page again once I'd signed up, and couldn't for the life of me! 😆
