The OSU open source lab is one of those lynchpins for many Projects in FOSS.

Even small projects like @librecast depend on those servers. To be clear we don't host our project infrastructure with them.

But when we do a Librecast release it gets tested on Debian infrastructure to package it for #Debian and #Guix. Which OSUOSL is a part of.

So if you can spare some cash for this lab, please do so.

Our ecosystem depends on this.

@onepict Would be nice to have some distributed alternative for computing, Like you have with tor, i2p, fediverse but then for compute.

Main problem is security, primarily trough hardware access.
So i get why this is done.

Over here in the netherlands companies offer resources like Leaseweb acting as a mirror for example.

Maybe they could offload some of their costs that way?
