   Depends on the service. Our git, funkwhale, peertube, and next cloud all run on a customized AWS infrastructure based off of ECS. We also host the data portion and some backups of the mastodon instance on AWS for redundancy.

   The 10K donation i made alone would cover server costs for several years, but since my initial donation we have almost dobled our donation fund from other donors.

     until now our donations have come from private donors (people who want to see a distributed collaborative STEM space). So I never set up any public mechanism for donations. With that said I have occasionally recieved donations through cryptocurrency for that purpose.

     I can set up a librepay if there is interest.

     I donated about 10,000$ of my own money to the fund when I first founded the servers as well.

     We do, just not publicly. Most of our donations come from organizations or projects that are open source and thus use our services.

     Its usually fewer large donations than lots of smaller ones.

     Since I host most of my open source stuff here, as do others, it is critical we have at least a year of operational costs saved up at any time. Luckily we were able to far exceed that minimum requirement.

     It is wonderful to have you here. I look forward to getting to know you better.

     Yea core instance is mastohost ithe the data itseldf in AWS redundantly (also backed up to wasabi).

     Our AWS stuff is ECS based and thus load balanced and elastic. Mastohost though is single instance dedicated hardware. So unless and until we containerize our mastodon code that part will remain on mastohost with everything else on aws.
