@jerry it's cool if you don't want to share, but how much are these servers costing you? the upkeep sounds insane.

@avrin I spend about $3000/month today. These new servers are about $1200 a month. After I migrate to the new servers and shut down the old, it should be close to the same spend but lots faster with less overhead and complexity

@jerry that's an insane amount of money for a volunteer project. I commend you and will donate as soon as I get my own finances in order.

@avrin thanks. It takes a surprising amount of processing power to handle 18000 people using a social media site. The logistics of the big commercial services seems mind blowing to me

@jerry makes me wonder what twitter's (or Facebook even) valuation would've been ignoring the brand value and all that nonsense.

@jerry That's quite the turn around time. Nice!

@jerry Cool!

I like Hetzner too; only drawback so far is they don’t have 24/7 tech support for cloud users AFAIK.

I’m gonna sit and stare at all those cores in htop for hours

@jerry I used to love sitting back in a dark computer room watching all the flashing lights. So mesmerizing.

Now, it is hard to do with all the devices way up in the clouds, no easy way to darken the room.

@jerry staring at htop is what I call "microdosing" on what being a professional stock trader would be like, without feeling like a fool.
