Welcome to this months financial report.
Everything is still ticking along nicely, so I'll make this short and sweet. If there's something else you want to know about all this then feel free to ask in the comments.
As can be seen from our graph on Open Collective we got £43.76 in and spent £49.99:
However, that's not the complete picture - the various outgoings are listed in the spreadsheet but to break it down further:
Hosting remains unchanged (total after VAT €40.68 - £34.74):
- Server - €29.00
- IP4 - €1.70
- Backup box - €3.20
In addition I've been reimbursed £10.57 for earlier hosting payments. This is the penultimate one of these. So, after next month the contributions will cover the outgoings.
Since Tom handed over the instance, we've largely been focused on ensuring the site is working properly and that the bills get paid. This is now all working smoothly and, as a thank you for sticking with us and generously supporting the instance, we've been working on a few things. First up, we've added new frontends. We're looking into other changes and hope to also add some perks for contributors too. With the latter in mind, I will be working through everyone who has donated and linking them to their feddit.uk usernames. If your's isn't obvious then contact me either here or on Matrix (the secure message button in my profile).

Nice one! As I'm a saddo, it would be really interesting to see what kind of spec the hardware backing the instance is and the kind of load that gets on it, even ballpark would be good (obviously if you have time at some point and it's not a ton of hassle!)
@GreatAlbatross@feddit.uk is going to tag in on this and give you a better answer than I can.
Generally though we went for higher specs than we needed to give ourselves plenty of breathing room so we wouldn't have to upgrade soon and it gives us enough spare capacity that we can cope with any excessive demands on our resources (so we should, hopefully, weather the next Rexxit, for example).
Thank you! And thank you both for running this instance!
