A little note about about this financial status report
- Throne
- it is fiat type and I will only add money here when I withdraw it.
- Cryptocurrencies
- I will truncate numbers to 4 decimal places.
- It may not always be up to date. You can check up to date ETH balance by clicking to it.
- No matter which coin you send from Trocador, the money will merge into Monero.
Yeah it's 9.15 on Cloudflare right now. Costly thing in our infrastructure is going to be storage and server specifications. I'll migrate to S3 as soon as Lemmy 0.18.1 releases.
Is S3 more cost efficient? I have had experience with it being much more reliable and durable, but the cost in the long run could be higher than having it next to the service
20TB of file is going to cost us 300$ in the future. It is close to free IMO :) Also some providers doesn't charge eggress fees and/or API usage.
Edit: For reference, Hetzner bills 44โฌ for 1TB data volume.
Doesn't it Amazon charge for data transfer? I.e the more requests you'll get, the more they'll bill?
