Contributing to hosting costs? (aussie.zone)

I know hosting servers isn't cheap, it would be wonderful if there was a way users could contribute to the running costs in some way (e.g. buymeacoffee or Patreon). I certainly would like to :)

FYI the server is currently running on OVH in Sydney, on this spec:

Seperately to that, the images are now stored in an object store bucket on Wasabi, also in Sydney. Its free for the first month, with $6 minimum while under 1TB.

Assuming this place doesn't implode in the next month or so, I'll figure out some way for people to chip in. Though to be clear, this is not a priority, its ~$30AUD per month with the current setup.

Oh cool, thanks for sharing mate. I hadn't heard of Wasabi before, might investigate using it for one of my personal projects
