Took a quick look at my monthly expenses, and it's not looking great. My #PeerTube instance @spectra is getting into the $400 per month range, accounting for overages in Object Storage and Network transfer.
My first thought is that it may be time to look at more sustainable hosting options. Alternatively , I might have to start setting caps on how much storage any account can use before being required to pay for more. Neither prospect feels great. 😞
The community has been amazing for monthly donations, but our rate of growth has rapidly outpaced contributions...
