Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.
Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.
Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.

Hopefully no need for round 3 and this newfound colony will thrive!
Yup, but who's paying for the server right now?
dcx very generously sponsored the domain and the hosting for the first year :D
is it ok to know how much it was?
You should probably ping dcx about this :)
Thanks for asking guise! It's cheap, Lemmy is written to be very resource efficient! Domain is USD10/y, hosting is about USD20/month.
And hosting is actually overprovisioned and could probably be USD5-10/month. I got a slightly bigger VM just in case (2 CPUs, 2GB RAM). But I'm seeing CPU % at 2.5% with just one spike to 10% in the last day. RAM holding steady at 52%.
Zero issues covering costs for this experimental stage btw! We don't know how this will go yet. And things have been good career wise lately. But yeah if we start seeing real traffic and need to pay for big boy servers, we may need to figure out something with the community!
Testing username tagging. @solus@monyet.cc @some_random_meatbag@monyet.cc @unhedged@monyet.cc (garr why doesn't this work!?)
In the future can consider Liberapay to crowdfund from monyets here for the server because they accept MYR (no need to convert currency and deal with FTF) and you can contribute as low as RM 0.05 per week.
Am happy to chip in a bit for the yearly hosting fees. Can't sponsor cause RM purchasing power is too low arghhhh.
Heyyy! And thanks! :)
Tagging seems ... weird? @dcx@monyet.cc
Works though!
i got the notification! thanks for reaching out and thanks for doing all this as well.
