The Crunch Has Come

Not to put too fine a point on it, but: The crunch HAS come, for my account on the virtual server I run this magazine and the OHaiCorona.com blog. I’m still paying pretty much all the fees associated with it, and now the size on disk is approaching the limit. I can’t afford to jump up one service level on my pension so I really need a few more donors.

The user “xxxxxx” (ptec3d.com) has almost reached their disk quota.
The account currently uses 36.03% (1.76 GB/4.88 GB) of its disk capacity.
The account currently uses 80.68% (201,690/250,000) of its available files.
Remove some files from this account, or ask the system administrator to increase the account’s disk quota.

I’ll email them and ask if they could sponsor the magazine but I have low hopes of that happening, they’ve already once upgraded me at the next-lowest tier fee, I doubt that they’d do it a second time.

Meanwhile, this isn’t the only fee associated with the server – there are domain name fees, several features I use are only on trial basis and I’ll need to either drop them or pay the subscriptions for them.

Please – if you can, go to Ko-Fi and set up a monthly donation – five bucks is huge for me with these fees and is these days less than the price of a cafe coffee – so it would be greatly appreciated. Also use the Share buttons under this article, dozens of social networks available so go wild. And the more people read this, the more chance I’ll be able to cover the increased fees.
