Hi everyone,

kbin.run is approaching its 1 year anniversary (June 11, 2023) and I figured it'd be a good time to provide a quick summary of the infrastructure changes and expenses incurred over the past year.

I've had to migrate servers 3 times to settle on a suitable hardware configuration, datacenter, and price point that works well for running kbin/Mbin. Mbin has made significant performance improvements over /kbin, so the latest server is suitable... for now. Of course, I will upgrade again should it become necessary with additional site traffic, resource utilization, etc.

Total expenses: $612.86 USD Total donations: $111.48 USD Operating deficit: $501.38 USD

Thank you to everyone who has donated to help offset the cost of running the instance, it is much appreciated! If you want to also help me out, please visit the FAQ page for ways how!

Happy cake day to everyone and here's to another great year in the Fediverse and Mbin development!

Oh wow.

I wonder if I donated, if I would use Mbin much more (according to the "after all, I put money into it so I must like it" kind of brain workings) or less ("I've contributed to Fediverse success, no need to show up and post as much").
