Goal is $18,000 and represents a year worth of expenses.
Normally I do sales but I have not been able to get a payment processor replacement in a full year even for the merchandise site. I have also been working to get the check deposit stuff up, but I am having trouble finding a bank willing to give us an RDC machine.
I figure, why not try the hot new platform?
Edit: This is explicitly for Lolcow LLC so if you do want T&H, DM me with the email you used to donate, how much, and tell me who you want T&H for (one user per $20). Just please give me a good amount of time to actually handle it because it's all manual.
Edit 2: Thank you to everyone, we blew past the goal in about 3 hours. I'll let you know if the money lands.
We're about $8k over the goal now which opens up a lot of hardware options. The most urgent issue to get is new NVMe drives. I am also sure our hotswap SSDs have wear, because I've seen the RAID fail and evict certain drives before. These are quite expensive (a few hundred dollars each) and we need enterprise due to our >200TB of data transfer a month. If the line keeps going up I am also considering buying a new router because our current one is literally more than 10 years old, but routers are particularly expensive and I would likely want a 10Gbps router so we can upgrade our connection soonish.
Edit 3: I've closed it as we reached double our goal and I am hoping that by ending it now, the money will be made available in one piece immediately, which may make things easier. Thank you everyone!
