the old one, you aren't meant to donate monthly via that so i'll edit it to make note of that later. it's on my to-do list. because it was important for other people to also have that badge, we moved to something built for this purpose that streamlines the whole process at patron.poa.st

good morning friends

I say I wont pay for it but in reality I will. even if people stop donating. I was just saying I am frustrated and am going to just get employment to offset the cost so that I don't ever have to worry if we wont make ends meet.

that being said, Poast in itself is paid for til October before I made that, and it will continue to exist long past October

not really no. our database has remained more or less close to the same size -- storing remote data, which we purge weekly costs a lot

the outpouring of support for us today is humbling. we appreciate all the help. thank you friends

I imagine I would probably be stoned to death if Poast was hosted in India, but the thought is funny

we would save about 15% total operating costs if we just paid for our main infrastructure yearly. but im not going to ask people for like 20 grand

I have been trimming the fat. poast was much more, its actually slightly below 2k now and i am still working on it. im not going to drop services, but i will run them as cheaply as possible. when i find deals i move stuff. happens all the time

thank you friend, if this was intended for me and not poast i appreciate it. i don't get anything for doing this so this means more to me than you think

gf likes Starbucks so I end up going with her and it's really unremarkable tbh. there's nothing special about it to me. McDonald's coffee tastes better imo

you are forgetting the nagatoro thread and the people you attracted here who tried to gifbomb the website and failed miserably

dominos used to actually be good. they changed their sauce to what they call "robust inspired" sauce and it's really not good. it's got a weird sweet flavor. I'd take the old sauce back over 1995 pricing tbh
