Server Maintenance - June 11 10:30pm CDT (self.main)

Sorry for the short notice, but I will be performing some server maintenance at 10:30 CST tonight.

I am going to switch to the next plan up (6 CPU 4 GB RAM) and take a snapshot of the VM while i'm at it. I'm hoping it shouldn't take too long.

I plan on doing a longer "State of the Instance" post soon, just to update everyone with how we're doing with donations, etc.

edit: 10:51 PM - Maintenance is complete!

Presumably this costs money. Is there some way to pitch in?

There's some links in the sidebar of the homepage.

Here are the donation links:

Thanks!

Liberapay doesn't take a cut, does the payment processing fee from Stripe get taken from the donation amount before getting sent to you? I'm assuming yes, just want to make sure.

[–] smorks 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

pretty sure Stripe takes a fee of some sort. i'm new to taking donations too.

[–] grte 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Off a CA$36.40 donation they took CA$1.36. Not the worst rate.

No, thank you for putting in the time and work.
