The Sunny Gardener - September 2024
No News Is Good News
Last month I upgraded the server hardware and, thankfully, things have been running pretty smoothly since then. On top of having plenty of free space, the dedicated hardware has smoothed things out when dealing with the occasional popular post getting boosted causing some brief timeouts, or certain pages in the administration UI which used to be somewhat sluggish.
Other than that, there isn’t much to say, it has been a quite month on the admin side of things and that’s always nice!
Summary
Steady as she goes, activity levels stayed fairly level for the month.
Hosting Costs
Hosting costs should stay relatively stable for the foreseeable future with our current hosting setup.

As always, thank you to everyone that has donated on ko-fi! There’s no obligation or expectation that you donate in order to use the server, and I’m still able to cover any shortfall myself if needed.
