   Hey, I understand this is a lot to ask of y’all but I want this to remain a space we can stay long term. We're currently running into issues with our hardware limitations and unfortunately we are going to be having to upgrade our hardware and that costs money. There’s been several discussions sporadically about how to approach doing so, and today we have finally worked out a feasible plan on what we want to do in order to address this need. We took the approach of trying to start off with something easily scalable with the downside of being a bit an expensive upfront cost. While we could go and run this on cheaper, older hardware it will cost us significantly more in the long term due to power consumption in the data center. After doing hours of discussion with multiple people we have decided that the best way to host this instance without falling for traps like vendor lock in (looking at you aws) is to own our server hardware and rent out a space in a data center to give it power and network connectivity. We looked at various approaches and designs architecturally from things like utilizing vpses and dedis, and after a long discussion we have come to this conclusion. This is a lot to ask, but I genuinely think that it is going to be so much more worth it than cheaping out short term and causing long term financial issues. We’ve asked multiple people and compared multiple vendors to make this as cost effective as possible.

     After markup and taxes, 1 € ~ 94 ₹ (Indian Rupee). I wish the rates were lower for donations from India to be more effective.
