I will be updating the instance to v18 at ~~20:00~~ 22:00 UTC.

See https://programming.dev/post/181191 for the changes

edit: Lemmy.ml updated and seems to have gone down. We're going to wait and see what the outage was caused by and then proceed from there.

edit 2: lemmy was down due to a ddos attack. We will upgrade at 22:00 UTC

edit 3: we had issues with the email setup getting overridden again. If you tried to sign up in the past 8 hours please try to just log in. If you can't, please message me (discord, matrix, or mastodon)

If you don't mind me asking, how much does it cost to run all of the servers?

[–] snowe 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

we're at like $48 a month for the main server, we have a staging server at about $6 a month, the domain is quite expensive, $580 or something for the first year, $427 for the following years. Email is $35 a month, but we had a snafu with it so we had actually gone with a different provider and that was $20 for 3 months. We also have cloudflare and I expect I'll need to set up CSAM protection eventually but that will be a bit of money too, so I'm working on getting a donation box set up first and then we'll move on with that.

Thanks for letting me know. I plan to contribute to the source code, as well as running my own server just to play around with it and getting more familiar with Rust.

I agree with the donation box, I'll donate when it's ready.
