Just don't be a dipshit retard.
People will disagree with you and call you an autistic gay retard, that's normal discourse. No one cares if it's just that.

I get unsolicited crypto donations. In the past I used to do merchandise sales twice a year, but the payment processors clamped down on that two years ago. I haven't been able to really crowdfund any cash for the site outside of crypto and mail-in checks for a long time. It's been rough.

When are we getting the kiwifarms theme'd dining set and fine china, i can't have guests over without a picture of your profile picture on the plate null.
 
When I was donating to try to support Josh during the 8chan days the only way to get him money was to buy Bitcoins from drug dealers at Starbucks.

Why not make a shitty "Kiwi farming simulator" and put it on Steam for donos

It's a beast. We barely utilize it. The biggest bottleneck we have is I/O. We have a huge SSD array for long term storage but one of our drives died and so MySQL is sitting on the raid. We desperately need to get another NVMe for the Database. I'm so desperate for I/O that I actually allocate some of the spare RAM into a ramdisk and use it to cache files.

I'm like 90% certain that this server by itself could host 4chan if I got to use Cloudflare and if I could reconfigure my disks.
 
The first sign that shows you're making really good software as a professional developer is seeing your customers working on an alternative named HITLERWASRIGHTware.

Also WebP is good for you because Google developed it as a way to stay afloat hosting retarded images from random niggers for no monetary return, like on youtube and on this very gossip website.

It's memory safe so all the big tech companies like it. I am SHOCKED to hear that Google is using Rust over Go though, wtf?

Google is kill, has been since 2016. It's currently in the state 4chan was in before the hack. Rife with unmaintained shit. The trannies are running rampant, and the trannies like Rust because they were told to at some point

That's nuts. Not only that you even need that much hardware (I'm no one, so I can't really imagine attracting that many people to a web project), but that random people would pay for it.

For a second I thought you might just make mad bank in your private life, but I won't ask about that.

how much would it cost to run a website like 4chins competently if one were to think away legal issues etc just hardware side? I always wondered, someone was throwing around 90k a month but it was all on aws servers?

The ephemeral nature of the site makes it so that storage isn't really a big issue. At most 4chan has maybe 2-4TB of images and webm stored at a time and from I've seen in these threads the databases for everything combined are under 1TB or so. The hardware costs are probably higher than they should be when it comes to CPU/Memory because the software stack is so fucking ancient that it probably doesn't account for caching and is probably handling each and every request from the DB rather than cache.

This hack could end up being a benefit for 4chan as a whole operationally because its forcing them to abandon early 2000s software with bandaids on it to something more efficient. No matter how this resolves itself 4chan WILL have to abandon the software as it stands, either an almost full rewrite or adoption of existing image board projects.
