Sooooo we had an outage of the media server over night which just stopped responding for whatever reason... It is fixed now and federation is slowly catching up.

There will be a short outage of our media backend tomorrow around noon. I am going to change the power supply of my home server which is hosting the minio server

Hi everybody, since most of you do not seem to know how much I personally pay to run my 3 fediverse instances, and how much is covered by donations I made a site where I can track both of these things and visualize it: https://donations.bentigorlich.de/

For the last 12 months we're sitting at 21.03% covered by donations. For 2025 we're sitting over 100% which is just great, so thank you all for donating to keep the servers up and running.

I will continue to post the monthly costs here under #cookiecosts
