I’m not a fan of doing this but it is for a good cause.
Hi, as you might know blahaj.social 
is a small vulunteer ran incomeless part of the fediverse 
We built it several years ago with recycled servers and network equipment.
Our @sysadmin haj has been working hard but our core switch and one of our HDDs refused to come online after a power cut.
Donations to purchase a replacement are very welcome at https://blahaj.social/about (shark pictures are also very welcome 💕)
Wow… i am really suprised with how much support we got 🥹❤️❤️❤️
The past days we made a deal with Maartje’s company to place an order with other client equipment for a huge discount. We doubted between new and recycled: energy costs and reliability (plus software updates) made us order a new one. Our old one used 150watts 🤯continuously, which will now be at least 3x lower.
@sysadmin saw a box arriving today and jumped right in 💕
Thanks to you all we have our broken equipment replaced tonight 🥰
Seems we’ll have a few euros left which will be kept in an emergency infrastructure replacement fund ☺️
Later today we’ll pull the server down for 5 minutes for a small dust clean and patching the ports into the new switch. We’ll keep you all posted!
Maartje
