Server hosting - let me send you a thing
Yesterday, 11:29 AM
Hey all,
so I mentioned this in the Discord also but I've gotta pay once again the annual hosting fees for Eagle Time, and the total cost is ballpark 240 euroes. (I checked to see if there were cheaper alternatives, but none of them permit hosting of multiple websites (which we use, with Old Eagle Time for testing) beyond a new user sign-up, so I'd have to hunt around for another New Member deal to snag this time next year and deal with all the porting-over of the servers'n shit.
So. I have already had a couple of generous donors get close to covering the cost (Huge thank yous to Ixcaliber, Coward, and June Stargirl.)
If anyone else is willing to donate, I'm offering up a couple of goodies - I've gotten into linocut printing and also knitting since I was last properly active here (as well as still doing crocheting and sewing), so if anyone else wants to donate a little I'd be happy to send you a patch in the post.![[Image: 0qrHzDw.jpeg]](https://eagle-time.org/misc.php?action=rt_camo&digest=3551d180171c416fcb91b7b1ac55c0bd215a751a3533184214384222e2800e2e&image=68747470733a2f2f692e696d6775722e636f6d2f307172487a44772e6a706567)

Hopefully something like 15 of your local dollars (so like, the cost of a coffee and a pastry at a nice cafe?) feels fair. If it can be converted to Euroes that's mighty convenient but I wouldn't want to trouble folks who are already doing me a huge solid.
If you are able to donate more, we can talk about something a little more customised - I'm already at work making something fox-related for Ix, for example. I like making stuff and I like sending it to other people.
Also!!!! there were three folks (I know one of them was Granola, not sure about the other two sorry) who generously donated this time last year. If y'all remember who you are and enjoy receiving stuff through the post, please get in touch and I'm happy to ship you something also.
The current amount donated is 230 Euroes - I'm also posting this here so there's transparency about how much is left over that can be saved and put into server costs this time next year.

peace to the unsung peace to the martyrs | i'm johnny rotten appleseed
clouds is shaky love | broke as hell but i got a bunch of ringtones
eyes blood red bruise aubergine | Sue took something now Sue doesn't sleep | saint average, day in the life of
woke up in the noon smelling doom and death | out the house, great outdoors
staying warm in arctic blizzard | that's my battle 'til I get inanimate | still up in the same clothes living like a gameshow
